Is that the AIT AutoCouture style bumper ? Is it all fiberglass meaning its not bendable/flexible ? That is , it breaks if you flex / bend it ? Fitment seems good from your front picture . I love that style than the 97+ OEM . It sits lower to the ground. The only thing I hate is if it is pure fiberglass , it is easy to tear once you heat a curb or parking lot concrete stoppers.

This bumper is not as clean when it came out of the warehouse, but just like what I said it is doable and can be fix to fit right. Seems like a typical fiberglass bumper that usually needs alteration to make an exact fit.
From the pictures of Shine kit, they look clean out from the warehouse, but I am not sure since I never had one from them.
I am used to park my car far enough from the concrete stoppers, it is just a matter of getting used to driving a lowered car.
Overall the fitment is good, all symmetrical, meaning bumper aligns to the fender, headlight, and hood. No misshape at all

, not for me then. I am always very careful in driving my cars but there would always be times in which you are absent minded or in a hurry and forget about having a lowered fiberglass bumper and there you go , that conrete stopper / curb damages that fiberglass bumper. Even dips / inclines can easily damage it. I have damaged a lot of fiberglass bumper lips and never again will I use any of them.

I would rather spend that money on go fast goodies.
