I know CT and DMC I was thinking of having it just painted then installed and depending on how badly my current bumber is replacing it till the spring hehe.
The rear should is a pia but doable since I do have a garage to store them in. I just need them painted using the money from my accident (hehehehe). So I need to get it done somewhat soon.
The Rear diffuser is part of the rear and is one solid piece. Also the rotor shape is filled in with a large KS symbol and can be replaced by a rear euro-fog light which I plan on sourcing in the spring.

Well seems I wont be having this installed before Christmas BUT.. I'll be having it put on by the new year
So come on folks help me out here. I asked your thoughts on having the Kenstyle imprintings being painted red but no one told me their thoughts?!? Now with the front grill, your thoughts people? I think with it being solely painted BB it might just blend in. I could be wrong sure but what if it was painted a Matte Black? Also the Rear Should the diffuser portion be painted Matte Black?? I'd like some contrast if you will between the lower portion and the top half. I could be wrong in my thoughts but hey might as well toss them out and get peoples thoughts on this. So come on folks.. tear into this help me out lol!

+1 on having the lower portion for the rear diffuser painted matte black to have the same concept from the stock rear bumper. i'm definitely getting this kit too and not the ATH anymore. just wondering if there's something that can be done about the front emblem/imprint... i was thinking of having it clean (filled and then painted with the rest)
also, no one answered my question about the black parts below the fron bumper corners if they come with the kit or purchased separately.

Hey Perfection takes time my friend.. hell took me about 10 years to find a decent woman a few months for a kit and then a few more weeks to get it installed aint nothing lol.
Again the rear diffuser and grill shall be painted a flat or a matte black. Talking to the guy tomorrow to plan the paint out or rather tell him what I fully want. He's getting a nice paycheck for my business so yeah he better not mind.
Just sucks cause the picutres I take wont have the 18's on but the lowly 16's but 'eh what you gonna do its Winter bitches and I just went through a 2 degree drive recently (btw damn the engine is loud as fuque in that temp!!).

Got my car back. Sadly they ran into issues with the front bumber and it wasnt able to be put on this weekend but they said they'll be working on it this week and I should have it put on this weekend. The rear had slight issue's in regards to what they called "Spiderwebs" in the fiberglass that Kenstyle used.
Oh they also ran into a issue with the rear re-enforcement bar. The bodyguy decided to custom cut it instead of taking it off. Was told he wouldnt feel right about taking it off and having the chance of me being rearended and something bad happening.
So now onto the.....

Keep in mind I got in a accident and had to have my passenger side fender replaced and had a nice long "racing stripe" down my passenger side also.
