I think I need to add those supports to the bumper/lip area on mine. It seems that the lip area in the bottom of the grill isn't exactly wavy where it should be.
Where did you get those support rods and did it even out the lip for you?
Thanks QuintonC!
Simple splitter anchors... can find on Ebay.
I have an extra pair if you want to avoid the hassle above I will ship them to you for $6 paypal.
They were absolutely integral to ensuring the wave up was in the center. W/out the wave wanted to sit over to the right.
I had picked them up with intended use just to shore up the lower lip to upper area at high speeds, and it just so happened to work out real nice with the wave fit --- for anyone who doesn't know -- while the polyurethane on this bumper is flexible (Vicrez N3-R) -- its thick as HECK and hard to force the finer elements of its shape even with heat. Is exceptionally sturdy though and will not be flapping anywhere at 150+ from what I can see. Heavy as well compared to ABS or Fiberglass.

Also, I've noticed that the bottom of the lip sits super low. I want to find a way to pull that up closer (it seriously scrapes on EVERYTHING). Trying to find a way to pull that up to prevent from scraping when I hit a bump.
It doesn't seem to flap around at high speeds from what I can tell so far. And yeah, this bumper is pretty heavy since it's poly.
So I got a little impatient over the weekend - I decided to wrap my OEM bumper considering I have plenty of wrap left over and much more to spare when I wrap my new bumper. I'm still having the new bumper primered... But this will do for now .
I've been meaning to get Cosmis XT-206R wheels this summer but haven't found the courage to pull the trigger just yet... Not sure what finish to get! I'm torn between their gunmetal (clean look), black chrome (flashy look), and gloss black (mean/aggressive look). Input?

I would probably go with the gunmetal, but im sure whatever color you pick will work out.
Did you use Avery wrap like everyone?

The wrap is Hexis. I think it's pretty popular in the UK. It can be difficult to work with (maybe since I'm just a beginner). It's very thick/durable which allowed me to re-position the vinyl multiple times when needed. I got it because it is significantly cheaper than Avery.

Is that their full synthetic? I know that they have a synthetic, but their full synth. says Mobil 1 fs and it costs about 9 bucks per. The plastic bottles are different also; if you got the real thing you got a steal of a deal.

Advance Auto Parts often has a special with 5qts of Mobil 1 and any M1 oil filter for ~$35. I use the M1-110 filter, which is a bit larger than the original size.

I get Mobil1 fs @ Costo. $10 on sale comes to $27.
Edit. That is 6 quart bottles, so after 5 the next one's essentially free.
