Not a big fan of the evolution bumper. It provides a good opening for the IC but almost completely destroys the lines of the car. Notice the WS6 notrils dont flow with the two bumper openings at all. Then below the turn signals there is a sharp edge yet the entire bird has smooth curvy lines. Not very good design wise, but I guess you compromise that for performance.
I would consider cutting your stock bumper. Im guessing yours is a street car, so that sort of air flow is not critical. Tiago has a high hp bird and hes just got the stock bumper sans fog lights. The evolution is pricey and your going for a budget build. You could buy a used stock bumper and have it painted for cheaper. Spend the money elsewhere. thats my .02

If you are going to spend that amount of money (A2A FMIC + Bumper + Paint + grilles, etc.) then you might as well just put in an air-to-water cooler and not have to worry about looking like a total ****** with that FUGLY front end.
