Looking good! How did it all go in terms of fitment?

The right side of the vertical fins looks like it's sagging down - is that just the photo angle?

When you go cf you need to commit to cf on the side extentions and front lip.

I had thought about it but didn't align with total investment required so stuck with cf from lip only.

It's just the lighting and angle. That's a shadow making it look that way. It's not 100% fitment though, or maybe it's just me. I feel like the tabs aren't really locking. Also the two plastic rivets that were there before doesn't fit anymore and two screws from the center don't line up with the old holes either. Could definitely be pushed UP and in but not sure how to get it to stay short of 3M tape which I don't want to use. Let's have a meet up one night all of us and I'll show you! For now I'm okay with it, maybe I will take off the whole bumper at some point when I install my new tail lights, then it'll have an easier time pushing it all in.

I think CF and gloss black works, i dont like the matte black parts, they only look nice when they are really clean.

It's a little more difficult since it's less flexible for obvious reasons. But not like it was impossible as I did it on my own. Sure I'll take more pics later.

So an update on this.
I finally managed to mount it, I wouldn't call it perfect fit, it was pain and the two clips on both sides above the exhaust tips didn't fit in. 2 screw holes didn't line up.
Slight gap on both corners, maybe enough to fit 2 credit cards. Not that big of deal as you cant see any flaws unless you are looking closely but want to mention for anyone else looking to buy it.
Had to force it over the white thing to line up the screw in the middle, OEM one had enough room to fit easily.
I just hope that it doesn't mess up some clip or something on that white piece, which controls parking and comfort access sensors.

I'm debating using 3M tape to fix the gaps..

Finally received my M-performance quad Diffuser. I hope i dont have fitment issues. the holes arent drilled on mine. Is there a good technique to drill these holes? line them up with the OEM?

2 holes didn't line up for me. I just used the holes that lined up properly and it's holding good.
