some more updates, my car should be done by this Friday. My OEM color, Interlagos Fire Metallic was so rare and hard to find the right mix that the shop have to get it from another supplier the fire part in the whole mix..

Everything is sanded down good and ready for paint. Fitment is quite good. They recommended I get the plasic support shield for the under panel from the dealer because it will help out with the bumper a lot. I took that off from my car a while ago. Might get some aluminum custom made one soon tho.

Pics of bumper in the shop after sanded, buffed, blocked before paint:

That looks pretty good, might be next on the list. I've owned AIT kits in the past and have been happy with it.

Not too bad. Definitely a stunning color, and a very good color match. Looks like fitment is spot-on other than the slight dip below the headlight, but that may just be an optical illusion from the angle that the photo was taken.

Looks good dude! What I did was bought the Zspeed(best thing eVar and made some aluminum braces going from the bumper to the zspeed. The zspeed is very sturdy. My bumper is rock solid.

the fitment is pretty good from the beginning, but the shop i brought the car to want it fit to perfection, so they apply a lot of bondo the the right front, and smooth it out to the fender. It was a lot of manual labor and hard work. But everything went well. Total was $775 for fitted & paint. It was high because I have a special color and they had to ordered the mix from Dupont. So any colors other than mine would be cheaper...

quick opinion everyone, should I paint the lower half and the vertical bars gloss black, similar to the OEM Nismo version? or keep the current color of it.

See pics below.
