Kenstyle rear bumper owners

My car is at the shop at the moment getting the kit installed but I've ran across a slight problem. You know where the holes are there is a huge piece of aluminum showing I'm not sure what it is I think it's a re-enforcement bar or something. Did you guys remove this? I'm planning to paint it black. I've already purchased mesh from www.customautomesh.com but I want it to look completely blacked out when you look into the holes. How did you guys accomplish this look?

Also for the guys with the replica kits, what did you use to install the mesh? The extra two dollars I paid for "installation tools" for the mesh was a total joke.

Klumzyee the fitment was about 90% which is very good for a replica kit. The bodyshop is only charging me an extra $150 to modify the pieces. I still saved about a grand compared to buying the authentic kits. The KurumaZ front bumper has perfect fitment and needs no modifcation. Speaking of the KurumaZ bumper it's VERY low, I bought Tein's but it looks like I won't be putting them on anymore.

Pot holes here are horrible after our crazy winter. I think even a 1" drop would cause scrapping.

+1 just spray the reinforcement black. As for the mesh, the shop i went to used some sort of paste/putty to attach the mesh.

Should have dropped and stayed with the stock body then. I would much rather see a car with a clean drop and wheels than a car with a full body kit at stock height and 4x4 stance

I can't wait until this Friday when I get my car back. I'll definitely post pictures although I'm sure everybody is sick of this combo already.
