New *pics* had some work done...
Took it to the local vinyl shop, and had them do the rear valance and front grill inserts. Not 100% perfect, but I'm happy.
Cost me $100, and if I don't like 'em, well, I'll just peel em off
The only problem with what they did, was that my stupid license plate mount is broken and I can't remove the screws (dealer must have done it when they took my plate off recently
) so the vinyl work was a little sloppy around it...but you can only see it if you are lying underneath the car. I figure its a cosmetic mod, and I don't see why somebody would be lying underneath my car 
ps my car is really really dirty

now if you could find a way to put a raised strip across the middle it would look alot like the ings face duct
i did a photoshop of it once, but it's at home, i will post a pic after work
edit: did a cheesy one with mspaint, but you can get the idea

For $100, I would take it back and demand that they redo it correctly. I'd be pretty pissed if it was that crooked. It's obvious enough to see in a small pic on a computer, so I'd be really bothered if I had to see it in person, and it was my ride...

1 - buy the vinyl yourself and cut if to the right shape (I'm not that skilled at cutting vinyl to odd shapes)
2 - Buy Bat's, which would have cost ~$75 for the pair, wait for them to be mailed, and then install them myself
3 - Pay $100 to have a shop do it all
I'm not sure if I feel it's nessasary to bring it back...I am happy with how it looks, so I guess it's a matter of should it be "100% perfect" or not...and I'm not so sure it would ever be perfect, regardless of who does it.
