The body shop that I took it to said they were one of the easiest pieces they have ever done. And I told them I paid only around $75 for them and they were shocked at how good it fit for so cheap. I got to say though it's a 9/10 fit I was recommended to not use the double sided tape that was attached to the kit. So I used the body shops 3m tape so I have never tried their tape but it looked legit.
Which shop did you go to for paint?

It didn't come in a box but was basically wrapped in a bubble wrap, heavy duty cardboard armor and a whole lot of box tape. If it was going to get broken it would have to get run over by a truck. Also had "fragile" box tape around it to. Not that that usually helps but it was still there. So after i got it out of its armor shipping cage it looked very good as far as quality. The finish is very smooth and crisp. The edges are a tiny bit ruff and i do mean tiny bit. I will most likely take a bit of 300 grit sand paper to them when I test fit it. The ABS is quality thickness. Probably about 1/8 inch. There is 4 metal brackets on the underneath of the lip to attach it to the car which are riveted to the bumper and not screwed which shows more effort to me in quality.

It comes with the rubber edging where the lips fits up tight to the bumper of the car with is AWESOME. Leaves a very nice edge, also a very nice addition.
Then a few bolt for the license plate and a few screws for where it wraps around the inner wheel wells. It does not come with double sided tape so that will have to be added but not a big deal to me.

There was 1 small gouge in the front about 1/2 inch long but easily fixed before paint.

I can not speak for the fitment to the car just yet because my car is under a cover in my driveway with 6 inches of snow on it right now but as far as fist impressions and over all quality i am completely satisfied.

This bumper should is very good for the price and its defiantly not going to get that sag that occurs with poly kits.
you mention you are going remove the license plate frame..right?? please do a DIY on it, if I go with this front lip I will probably remove the license plate frame too..just dont know how the ABS holds while cutting it.

Front lip arrived today. Left California on the 4th, delivered to my shop in maryland on the 6th. Awesome. Packaging was perfect. Actually took about 10 minutes to get it out haha. Edges were all clean, but the best part was fitment. My bumper is off the car and on a bumper stand. Fitment was spot on. All gaps were perfect, all corners lined up as they should. Not sure what the oem has to offer over this. Took a few pics but won't be home to upload them until Saturday probably

i am not correcting anything on it. the kit is not even supposed to be double sided taped on. there are supposed to be two screws up behind the license plate into the bumper (i drilled two new holes slightly lower so they are into the grille so nothing permanent is done to the bumper). then the clips underneath. the rubber gasket is there to hide any slight gap since its not taped to the bumper. i will be adding an inch or so of tape to each section just to make sure it does stay snug.

Did you order the whole kit or just the front lip?
