the manufacturer is m1autosport for the front bumper as you can see its a perfect fit and the sideskirts and add-ons are from streetstyler.com and the installation me and my homie did it...
LOL, BiggieB15, looks nice
...but omegamanex thats not perfect fitment
BiggieB15 thats why you gotta take it to a good body shop
get that right fender lined up for starters
Looks good but it looks like you and you buddy did it... I'd be able to tell when I walk past it in the parking lot
Paint doesn't match 100% either and I bet its easy to see in person
Sorry don't mean to jump on ya and bust your new bumper fun
Just struck me funny when omegamanex complimented you on the "good fitment"
It looks good, but if you can afford it take it to a good body shop and get it done right
Just my opinion

i think ur holding my statement of "good" in to high regards haha.
i just didnt wanna nit pick, since its alot better than the majority of the v2 replicas. believe me because i have a shineauto one which everyone says is perfect but it was far from it, my bodyshop did get it perfect tho

Well you did say "wow" lmao
It looks good Biggie, dont take me too personal LOL
I almost did mine myself too but since mine was as a result of an accident and someone gave me the money to have it done I went ahead and paid the body shop to do it. I did think hard about keeping the mney though.
Plus mine doesnt 100% line up perfect on the left side even after the body shop tried a 2nd time to fix it. It fits better then yours does and the paint does match (LOL) but it's still not perfect hah
Looks like you lined up the left side and then worked your way to the right though
You should line it up from the center and do the sides slowly and evenly. Even if you cant get them both 100% lined up at least make them the same on both sides.
...and get one of those 4' high gold wings on that thing quick heh

Looks good bro 
Did M1 paint it for you as well? I've been debating on sending my gas cap to them to match for the front bumper... I dunno though, PPW is so damn hard to get right and I can't find a shop that I trust to do it around here.

Your rocker panels seem too short where they meet the fender.
go to a local body shop and have them tint it and paint it, they can make test panels before they spray the bumpers so they can get exact match..atleast thats what I do lol. just tell the painter there to tint it more ochra, when I painted my nismo v2 front bumper I mixed 1/2pint (8 oz) and added 1.5 grams more of the ochra (might need to put more, mine came out a little too white, i might blend ino both fenders) to the base coat, the mid coat was perfect with 2 medium wet coats. I used Standox paints btw. The painter might tell you Ochra isn't on the mixing formula for the PPW but the bright yellow that goes into the formula doesn't give it that yellowish tone to the white, so thats why i put in ochra.
even if you were to send in the gas cap to get it matched the spectrophotometer wont give them a 100% color match.
and if your PPW was like mine from factory, it doesn't match the quarter panel either lolol. damn pearl, when pearl gets painted it needs to be on the car not seperated, so the pearl can flow with the adjacent panel instead of a cut off point when painting each panel.

Car looks good. You did a good Job on the install. Some people don't understand that Aftermarket Body Kits Will NEVER fit like OEM. Doesn't matter if its a Replica or Not. I've seen AUTHENTIC kits have problems, Ings, Nismo, Veilside etc. The Fitment on this kit is really good.
PPW is one of the hardest colors to paint since it is a pearl and what we recommend is blending the surrounding panels so that you don't have an abrupt color change. Although that does cost more.
