Guys, I've been researching a new bumper again (this time JDM.. my mourning period over APR is done) and I have my eyes on VLESS:

Couple of things really attract me to this:
1. There is a slit right in the front that could function like a "ram air" of sorts for a custom CAI I'm planning (right to a cone filter).
2. It removes the Scion emblem body line which works out in my favor since I'm planning on de-badging.
3. It maintains the stock parking/turn/fog light setup up front for the FR-S. Huge plus.
4. It doesn't significantly diverge from the car's natural body lines. Huge plus.
5. Reasonable cost for a JDM part.
Now I want opinions:
1. What do you think about the company, VLESS and about the actual design of the bumper?
2. Would you coat it with Line-X (resists scruffs, chips, etc), paint it or wrap it in a dry carbon (matte look) wrap (not big on this since it wouldn't be the real thing)? Keep in mind I currently have dry carbon fenders and trunk (planning on dry carbon hood and roof next year).
Thanks in advance for opinions/thoughts!
