does the price go down at all since the front ended up being made with FRP instead of ABS? or maybe so shipping discount.

I tried installing the front bumepr today on a Z but i had a lot of trouble putting it on..I've never installed anything in my life and this was my first task. Took out the bumper, which took me liek half and hour to do so, im doinng this on a 06 Z. The plastic pieces on the bottom wont allow me to tuck the bumper into place. I was LOST. I managed to line up the side of the kit and i know for sure it fits very nicely, all the lines match up on the top but i could get the bottom in place. I hope someone knows the reason why. We actually ran out of time stuck so we didnt get to work on the sides or the rear. I'll try to get someone to install it...im definitely not touching it again..tiring as hell...hre are few pictures ive took about the plastic pieces that was givign me problems

bottom in place? You mean the holes didnt line up? The doluck bumper longer is than OEM right? If so its like my vizage kit you just need to make something to bridge the gap.

No all redline red. I've already seen both ways at NOPI Atlanta and the black IMO doesn't look clean. I am going for the was NISMO has their cars done. A factory look mostly with some sportyness. Side and bumper will be the same red all around' I'm repainting the entire car at once so it will match and get dings/chips out of the paint. Then the front I am having custom clear bra up to mid of hood. Thats after the hood pins and NISMO hood vents are cut out.

Sounds good! The reason I was thinking of painting the mouth and lip parts black is because my car is white so it makes a nice contrast.

Yeah alls I care about is the rear so send to shop and they'll have it done in no time. I'm still trying to figure out why you didn't it yourself. With all that GB money I wouldn't be doing any of that.

was it hitting the plastic piece? or was the plastic piece in the wrong spot and touching a differnt part of the bumper? is there no bottom end support for this bumper. if not i guess ill have to get that diffuser.
