Subtle indeed!
At initial glance looks almost stock, but then you see the lips on the wheels... Congratulations. You have one of the very few good looking widebodies.
In my opinion, the best type of bodywork is when someone who's not familiar with the car doesn't suspect it's not stock. It this case you have nailed it.
The only thing that I would do differently (not to take away anything from your setup), is to somehow try to blend the lip into the front bumper without that little step. But still, great work!

Am I really the only one that wouldn't be happy with the bodywork? The idea and the look are amazing, really works well so mad props for your end of it. But look at the gaps between the front bumper and front fender, not only are they inconsistant from one side to the other, they are not straight! Also look at the rear wheel well where the bumper and rear fender meet. Rather, where they SHOULD meet. I wouldn't even comment if this was some lame widebody but this looks really good its just those little details that make or break the look IMO.
Not trying to bring you down and I have no idea how much this cost you but if your paying top dollar you should get top shelf work, this falls short IMO.
Otherwise, DAMN THATS DOPE!!!!!

I think the ings sides that match the front would have finished it IMO.

As this guy said, I do applaud your ambition, but he is right, I am not the only one to notice gaps. Please, do massage that bumper to fit OEM style. After all the time/money/effort your poured into this project, it would be a sin not to.
For the record: I love what you are doing with this, it is in no way intended to be an insult...
