Default bumper painted and installed

took the bumper in and had it painted last monday, went in on wednesday to have it installed and the paint was dripping like sheets of water off the kit so I had them repaint it again! picked it up today and the dude painted over the grill area instead of leaving it black, he gave me $100 off if he didn't have to do it again so I said ok whatever. Ended up being only $100 paint job and prep except my canards stayed black which I don't really mind and I think Extreme Dimensions drilled them in backwards

It looks good dude, just paint the grills black it will look a lot better. Where did you buy the bumper and how is the fitment?

I got it from Tai @ Extreme Dimensions, I did have to play with the fitment a little and do my own prep work b4 the shop did its paint prep. If you look where the bumper meets the fender how the corner is rounded and doesn't line up properly. I couldn't be too mad tho because the price I paid was pretty cheap

I was thinking about filling it in but ended up ordering the Z emblems, just don't want to put them in yet until the paint is fully dry

the canards came in pre drilled, I was going to go ahead and fill in the holes and leave them without canards or order the c-west carbon fiber ones but it was going to be 149.99 to get them filled in
