Everything looks really good 
I would definitely contact Ventross with regards to the fitment and see what they say, it should be flush and tightly held on the bumper

Thanks all for the comments, in regards to the headlights:
i had them painted by a kinda local shop here in so cal. PM for info on pricing (not sure if i can put that down here) and for a number.. (not sure if i can put that up either)
iSuxel: If the is-F headlights came black on the overseas model, would you like them? sorry, i know they arent JDM, but the authentic JDM altezza lights for my is300 were flat black with amber corners. i just wanted to mimic the look a little. but to each his own. =]
LexISguy: The alignment went close to or within stock spec. Initially, all the numbers were red (out of oem limits). After aligning, the numbers all turned green again, but one. I forgot what exactly it was, im thinking it was camber. I am on my 3rd set of rear tires, still the OG tires up front. 12,000 miles on the car =/. Im sure the tire wear is based on my aggressive driving.

I think everything looks great...but the fitment of the front lip is pretty surprizing to me. We didn't have that issue on the MotorworldHype IS-F.
Did you put on the lip yourself or did a body shop do it for you?

looks good, love the white with cf look, perfect. i am surprised about the fitment, even though you scrapped it already, i think it's still worth talking to them about it. they are the same company that makes vorsteiner right? their stuff for mb, bmw, and porsche seem to have very good fitment

hello, did you ever try contacting Ventross about your front lip fitment issues? I want to get this front lip as well but if the fitment is like that then forget it.

Nah, i really dont have much spare time.. I just drilled the damn thang into the bumper. HAHA. =/
Fits almost perfect now, the edges are still coming up slightly, but the front is 100 % spot on. The front is what worried me most. Every time i washed the car, water would seep into the crevice on the sides (shown on my first post). The stickiness of the tape eventually weakened and the front started drooping.The sides weren't ever gonna fit properly, i knew that. But the fact that most of my travel time is on the freeway, the headwind achieved at 80 - 100 mph really freaked me out. I heard it tapping the bottom of my bumper. If it was securely attached, it shouldnt be tapping. I "final destinationed" myself. I pictured it coming off, me running over it, it popping a tire, and me getting dead. And people behind me getting sprayed with pieces of carbon fiber and fiberglass. So i drilled it. Ill put some new pictures up later today, this time with a real camera. Blackberry storm ftl.

That looks pretty good despite the fitment issues. Where in SoCal are you at?
