It looks pretty good when you see it but to me its just not fully flush on the top where it meets with the OEM bumper which kind of bothers me but not that bad. Then I'm just not sure if it flows with the rest of the car or not. I guess we will see what everyone else has to say.

Yea I will try and take some pics tomorrow of the whole car. If it was molded onto the bumper then it would look better but since its a piece attached to the OEM bumper it does not seem as smooth flowing as I would have hoped if you know what I mean.

You did an excellent job on it, but honestly I just dont feel it flows with everything else either. Thats just my opinion but you really need to take some time and think about it. I think your craftsmanship turned out great but I'm just not sure if its right for your car. I'll have to look at it upclose when I come back from my trip.

Thanks for replying Taylor. I know you have seen the car in person so you know whether it flows or not. I'm so torn about it. I think its a little too busy in the front but I might just paint it to see if it blends in more with the car or not. Maybe that will be the deciding factor.

Thank you very much. I love the blacked out trim too. Really goes well with my black and white theme I'm going for.

probably would look better molded on like you said, i'm with you though kinda sucks cause it's risky, don't know if it'd be worth the extra $$$ and not turn out like you want.

Yea molded would be better but I don't have the money or downtime to do that job. It would be very risky.....that's why I just might paint it to see if it will blend in some more so that it's not so noticeable. Decisions, decisions....

Gotta stay VIP/OEM....the only problem with flat black is that you will see the line of the lip and OEM bumper very distinctly and I would like to blend everything as much as possible.
