AWSOME, I Guess you did it. I know you've been talking about this for a long time. Congrats I think the JP wheels will set this off.

The Fogs that go into the JP front bumper arnt same as OEM? Shape or size?

9 pages in this thread and the kit isnt painted yet. What are you waiting for? I can only imagine the excitement once the kit is installed and finished

That's a JP kit, Johnny. I took most of the cues for my kit from that white JP Aristo, down to the slat-less front bumper.

How come? I understand the $$$$ investment but you've never shied away from doing what it takes. Unless you plan on selling the bumper, it won't really matter from the outside. The JP kit seems to be your holy grail and unless you change your mind (which you have been known to do ), you won't be changing out the kit.

I agree that with this much invested, you should consider your options carefully. Unless you want a different FI setup (which equals more time and $), don't junk the RMM because of the technical difficulties with the bumper. There is always a solution. It is just a matter of finding the optimal one.

Good luck bro.

Well said bro...

Johnny, take you time and make the right decisions. A good bodyshop can help you shave off some of the extra material so everything fits nice. DO NOT RUSH just to make it to a show. Shows will come and go. Major mistakes can happen just because of the pressure of getting things done quick. The last thing you ever want to do is rush a painter... Unless of course you like the "orange peel" effect...

johnny i am with neo too. well partially coz' i dont' really care much about car show stuff, but i think you should take your time to finish the car the right way rather than rushing for the show with a half done car that you don't like.

and i am with neo as well on shaving the bumper if necessary. i don't think it will affect much man!
