Bumper is fine, especially if you duct it properly. The issue w any aftermarket bumper is that no one retains the plastic side baffles.. I'd feign to say that anyone's aftermarket bumper cools better than the oem for this reason..

Fitment out of the box is perfect, better than any other I've ever owned nor sold before. Lmk if you want one, I'm the exclusive reseller for that vis part for now
My friend (the guy doing all the body work) says it's not bad, 8/10. The issue with my car though, I have aftermarket everything, bumper, hood, fenders, lights, sideskirts. Everything on its own fits pretty well, but with everything just a little bit off, makes things a little more difficult.
Good guess, its Arlon Gloss Hornet Metallic, a bit more candy in color.
Much classier choice than 3m, aside from the fact 3m sucks. On that thought, how do you fancy the Arlon? Its one of the few brands I have yet to apply.
I like 3m 1080 for its durability, except their matte metallic colors that fades and falls apart in the sun. 3m gloss and satin have held up nicely for me over the years.
Arlon is my favorite in terms of aesthetics, however their matte colors can be difficult to use when stretched, even when minimal heat is applied. The color easily warps or distorts which can be a challenge. If done right it looks fantastic. Their gloss is great, deep and looks closest to paint.
Been talking about "how little I drive my 33 that I may as well sell it". Hadn't driven it more than around the block to my rear garage for 2.5 months.... and in that time, it wasn't ever washed. Whew, it was grimy this morning.... trees and birds had their way with it while I was on vacation and otherwise away.
Wife even said, "Babe, if you sell that car, get yourself a new one." (Usually she says, "You'd best not, you'll hate yourself.")
Conscious effort.... DRIVE IT. WASH IT.
Yeah, no, ain't ever gonna sell it. Something about getting in and driving it that ALWAYS changes my mind. Hell, I was so hating myself for ever considering a sale that I broke down and ordered another set of tahrs for one of the last sets of spare wheels in my garage. My last remaining set of LMGT5s are gettin' some new tahrs!! Nice thing is that I don't even have to take off the front spacers behind these LMZ5s!
I told wife... She say, "but those wheels without the tires on look like the ones on the car already."
Me: "Oh honey.... please.... the GT5s are 1/2" wider front AND rear!!"
Wife rolls eyes.
While on "cars as they sit".... someone wanna answer this question? I go to the Ranch 99 market (big a$$ Asian market) early in the morning and park waaaaaay out in Bumfudge... not a single car or shopping cart within two parking aisles. And I come out of the store to this:
The question:
WHY?!?!?!?!!!!!!
OK, fine, he don't want his car scratched either and parking it next to a car that doesn't look like its owned by someone who would do such a thing, I get that. But why RIGHT NEXT TO ME?!?!?!
After I got in and was on the phone, the driver came out, got into his Camly and took off.... were I not on the phone, I'da asked his lame a$$!

Does your wife drive that car to the store? Maybe it's not the first time the guys parked beside it...
The Camry wanted to know who's dbag MB OR some gold digga thinks you could be the next potential suga daddy. Actually I get the same, park out in BFE to avoid dings and some random crap mobile or ghetto rigged ricer will park next to me.
