Lose the bird and it would look better.

although i do wonder what it would look like without it i want to keep the bird i have a red and black theme on my car and i like the nose being the focal point.

as far as what is involved im not sure exactly what they use but they will take a bondo sort of material and basically spackle it on the lines of the body kit sand it down and paint the whole bumper again more than likely and there will be some sort of flex agent and adhesion promoter applied as well. as for the center plate there is a lot more envolved since it can move so much and has a lot of flex and is hollow behind it im not sure how they will do it but i have seen it done on a silver trans am and it looked great

I like it and the ground effects look especially good molded in like that. If you have the means... do it!

It's nice. Did you also smooth out the cheap factory ground effects?
