Now that all the OEM parts are counted for, I can't leave the front end stock. I decided to go with Black Pearl again. I meet with Singo Utumi (Black Pearl owner) last year at Osaka Auto Messe and saw the FSport in person and knew I wanted this setup if I ever got a FSport. Contacted him about the lip kit and he committed to expediting it...got the lip kit 2 months later. Note: The first Black Pearl kit took 5 months to get here.

More pictures of the kit from the other side. Glue is now dried.
Removed excess polyurethane glue.
Started the molding process. I'm not a big fan of lip kit. I just don't like the lines showing. Molding it is the best option to make it look like a full bumper replacement.

I don't like the headlight washer opening on the new bumper so I decided to fill it. First with a piece of polyurethane from an old side skirt.
Then i filled it with poly filler and sand it down.
Comparison between non molding and the molding outcome.
Black Pearl lip kit molded onto OEM bumper...completed.
