Thanks everyone for taking your time to be following this. I had no idea it would turn into this project.
Kudos!

Some notes:
1) Do I like it?
      Nope. Love it. Only time will tell because most of my work has ended up with me finishing at night so I really don't know how it looks like in the sun.  ^-^

2) Ease of installation?
      Moderate. Just need to put it together some how after measuring fitment. Sanding and sanding and sanding. Drilling 4 holes to match the existing bumper holes in the wheel well. Tons of sanding. Prep work is key here and if you don't have the patience. I recommend getting it professionally done. It will look A LOT better.

3) Would I recommend it?
      Of course if you like it and is willing to put in some effort to put it on. Or have $ laying around for paint and install. Just that alone could cost 3-500 depending on where. A lot cheaper if you know people.

Sexy~!
You need to take more pictures when the sun is out.  Also take some pictures from further back.  I want to see a bigger view of it.

Thanks!

Trial and error. Yeah I used paint cans. Now in daylight, the paint is actually a little whiter than the oem color. Need to test another color with it.

Mangnok, unless your exhaust is super close to your bumper, you might be fine. Do you have a relatively big tip?

Updated some pics for you beyonddc. My phone so quality is horrible.

Mangnok, hm, good question. You might have to get with ARS about that.

Thanks again for all the interest.

Wow that looks great Tatsujo. I love how it turned out. With those springs tomorrow, your car will really start getting it's footing.

Really making me jealous man.  Do you mind to tell us how much you spend on this kit including shipping?

Unfortunately I'm very tight on budget right now because I'm trying to save up for a bling bling for my girlfriend.    :P
Otherwise I would jump on this!
