Athens Blue with Kuruma Z
After some time, the Kuruma Z is finally painted and on the car. I've included a pic to show that it matches up with stock sides and splash guards quite well. It is a tad lower than stock. There are practically no gaps in grill/hood area. the color is off because of bad lighting and there is a big *** storm coming.



And for how it fits. Maybe I'm too **** but there are a few issues.
The major gap is by the driver side headlight.
The paint is a little darker, but not too noticeable.
Little gaps by the sidemarkers.
The mesh grills are not tight.
I don't know much about bodywork, but apparently polyurethane is harder to work with than fiberglass, ie smoothing out the surfaces and filling in gaps.




Overall impression:
The bumper itself is of very good construction and flexible. Bought it from Coz at Concept Z performance and he was always quick to respond and very helpful. The body guy said it was one of the better aftermarket bumpers he's seen. It fits as well as any aftermarket bumper can be expected to fit, not 100% but close. You can't see the imperfections unless you look closely. It looks awesome and I'm happy with the work that was done.
I have other pics so if there are requests for other angles I will post them.
I have a bunch of performance parts layin around that I need to get installed. Wheels and drop are next once I gather up the funds.

Congrats!!
Looks GREAT... Yes, I know where you are coming from but TRUST ME that bumper fits GREAT!!
I also have the KurumaZ and a TS poly replica... My body guy LOVED the KurumaZ and was cursing the TS... There are more gaps in the TS and the bottom inner flat area was a bit warped...
I am working on getting it to lay flat on my own and have a couple of ideas to do so...
I like how the TS has the grille incorporated into the design... I wish the Kuruma had that as well...
I change my bumpers off and on depending on my mood... lol
