      I reckon it looked fantastic... Although, here's mine with a matte black grille.


      They both look good, but I would easily go back to the gloss... Maybe one day.
      Where did you get the gloss black one?

          Its all in the prep - I didn't do a very good job of it... Please don't look too closely.

                Does anyone know how to pull down the underneath part of the bumper? I'm installing my splitter and need to access the inside of the front bumper without actually removing it. Taking off the big sump protector didn't seem to get me far, this shot is after I pit it back on..

                  Looking at the manual - it's a one piece bumper
                  Looks like you have proceed as if you are actually going to remove the bumper
