buckeye, what do you mean by "cut mine down a little". Im thinking this would look pretty nice on my on my black sedan, and if it were a minor gap the black paint could kinda hide it. Im have a steady hand but dont want to be spending more than about 4-5 hours if I were to fit this.

LOL, idk how I'm planning to pull it off in NY, forget winter, the regular streets can tear a bumper off if your low enough, thats why no drop for this DD, also hoping it don't scrape coming in/out of the garage

Thats the problem with the oem bumper, I can't confirm though. The trim design on the aftermarket bumper is slightly different than oem, thats why I believe theres a lot more gap on the sides...on black you can't even notice the gap

I just had to cut down the top part where the plastic clips go. and I had to trim a little bit on the bottom. Nothing on the sides or anything that you would see. It was just a little big. Grant had to do the same thing with his. Once I trimmed it it fit fine.Just make sure your buying the one for the 05-06 not the 03-04.

Heres another pic that I really like for some reason of the grille.

Nope, it's 05-06 and it will be up for sale soon, I'll try locally first, unless I get a better offer to ship...

There really is no "official" name - but Karookie isnt it.
