I think it would look great with the center part of the lower valence black. Definitely help break up the lines.

Body shop is painting it like this now:

That'll look good. I like that exhaust too.

So the black portion of the OEM rear bumper is cut out and the toms is 3M/bolted on?

Loving the build..

Yes - you have to physically cut the OEM diffuser with a knife. The toms is then 3M'ed on - but it doesnt really stick to the oem bumper. What we did was screw the bumper to the diffuser in from the rear and then glue it. then we removed the screws, and glued over them. Overall, this was one of the most difficult things of the build.

Thanks for your comments.

So are these the real TRD skirts now? Cause the Dura Flex you said was trash? If so where did you get these from?

Car is looking great! I love the hood!

Yes. Those are the real TRD ABS plastic skirts. The dura flex IS trash, and sitting in the garbage pile at the bottom of my basement.

Thanks for the comments!

Something is wrong with your weather stripping between the bumper and hood.
