My AimGain bumper

My AimGain bumper
Just received the AimGain bumper and foglamps from mailorderjapan.com.
It took Aimgain about 3 weeks to build it and Azuma @ mailorderjapan.com shipped them out to me via FedEx right after he received it.
It took about 3 days from Japan to my door step.
I think it is more cost efficient in fedEx shipping by ordering front, rear and sides at the same time since they can fit into each other in a slightly bigger box.
Didn't order the rear as I want to keep my Tom's exhaust and it matches my current G-Answer rear lip very nicely.
Anyway, I hope I am the first one in the US that has this bumper.
Also, I received my 20" wheels last week.
They are custem 3-piece forged wheels made to the exact specs I want.
MC3 told me they are going to market this wheel under System Forged, so I guess these are S/F Trinidad.
EDIT:
Work in progress...

I get it with the Artisian Spirit but I am really baffled by you guys who order kits for big $$$ from Japan that don't look much different than stock. Couldn't you go to a custom shop stateside and done something really extraordinary? IMO the only boring angle of our car is the front. I wish I had the cash to have a shop make me an Aston Martin like front clip.

I and IcEnPinKi have done the price shopping.
The total price is not bad plus you don't need to wait for 1-2 months for shipping.
The wheel specs are nothing crazy but close to what Rominl's fitment guide recommends.
Thanks. Not many members here like full face wheels.

It would probably cost even more. That is why a lot of shops would rather make the replicas.
My original plan was to get an 06+ oem bumper plus an AutoCouture or a T's Project add-on front lip.
The total cost is not that much different among them except I need to spend a few hundreds more for the Aimgain foglamps.
My car is pretty much done after I put these on.
Sc430 is a fun car to me, so I like doing some mods on it to make it stand out more.
My GS350 will stay completely stock and so will my 2011 RX350 when I buy it.
I had sent you a message before I ordered it, but have never got your reply.
We both could have saved up to 50% fedEx shipping fee by combining the packages since we both live in Houston.
Thanks.
I also like your T's Project kit minus the headlight tint. haha
