Looks like your not going to be the only one with an sl2 thats ppw. I'll be ordering mine real soon. Could you show pics of the front where i can see the radiator, I'm wondering if i would need a black mesh for the center grill.

def heavier, i mean it's fiberglass. The only issue is that since the splitter and undertray are one piece, i fear that any type of flex on one piece will crack or cause it to split from the other. In other works let's say i run over something and it causes the undertray/splitter to flex, it might crack the bumper somewhere as well. And oil changes look like a pita lol

I thought about making a mesh for it, but I still don't know how to make one for this bumper. The bottom part the center gill is longer than the top part, so the mesh has to be 45deg angle. In my opinion, it doesn't look good that way. Here is a pix showing where I had to cut in front of the radiator. Hopefully, it's good enough for your request.

I did a test fit on mine the other day and had a hard time bolting up the sides of the bumper(looks like you had the same problem?) I'm thinking it would be easier to remove the plastic liners from the wheel wells, they seem to be pushing the bumper down.

Bebo, did you get it fully test fitted on yet? How are the fender liner under the wheel well bolting on to the bumper? Do you have to take off the oem undertray for the bumper to fit?
