Here's some more pics I took. Additional angles not previously shown. I think these really show off the nice features of this kit.
Here's when we first fitted the front end. I must say the TOM's fit and finish was exceptional. No significant misfit at all. You get what you pay for in this instance. The liscense plate holes were filled in BTW. Note how poorly the RMM grill fit. Our favorite local painter fixed all that.
Clears the driveway. Not bad.
Nice view of the painted lower front end. No fog lights installed in this photo yet. Yeah, the angle of the lower front opening, screwed up the look of the grill mesh. Guess were gonna have to take off the front end again, to replace it.
Again, the matching painted rear center actually compliments the gunmetal wheels. Pictures don't show this up as well as in real life. Note the very subtle side skirts.
Gotta have a nice exhaust, since this rear skirt shows a lot of it.
From the rear this car is all business ! Great decision red ! Glad you took my advice!

Here's some stuff you can't see from the pictures that I posted. The bumpers are actually two-tone. RMMGS4 floated the idea and I had it done - what's the worst that can happen, right?! As you can see the front and rear bumpers have a nice line/cut-out that lends to the look. Suppose black would have also worked. The silver/gray does not quite match the rims, but I was thinking about having them re-done anyways.

Well, I was hoping for subtle, perhaps too successful?
