hmm, this is a hard one. Your car was sosss clean with the oem bumper and aggressive drop with nice offset wheels. Your car goes from very aggressive in the front to very smooth and more plain to the rear now.

Yes, they cut the bumper. There is no way it could even fit onto the bumper if it weren't cut. What you're seeing is the sides of the diffuser: that teardrop shape makes it look like the whole thing is tilted and not fit.

Center caps... I got them right here. I just dont know if I want to put them on.

And as for the front being aggressive and the rest not, that'll have to wait. Later I'll get sides and the top secret rear diffuser. This setup has set me back more than expected. The bumper needed some work done to it at the shop. I ended up paying just as much to paint/install/fix it as I did for the parts. I'd rate it 7/10 quality wise. If i were to do it all over again, I'd get the authentic amuse bumper for sure. The diffuser is fine, however. I can live with a few imperfections on the bumper as long as it looks as sick as it does now.

I agree with ya bro, the fitment of the Amuse replica is really not up to par with the Nismo V2 replica. If i were you, i would raise the front by another 1/2 inch so you won't scrape the crap out of the diffuser. But from the looks of the driver's side view, you've already done some damage to it.
