Thanks, I'm really loving them. Here are some added info to have it looking flawless...
I've been fixing up cars and playing with fiberglass for nearly a decade. If it doesnt fit right, you can always heat it up and force it into place. After it cools off, it'll settle and stay that way. I had a little problem getting the bottom of my face ducts to stick. It mostly because of my molded lip that kept it from going all the way down, and partly because of the slight curve of the bottom of the face ducts. So what I did was put the double sided tape on, get it into place, hold it down with my hands while wearing thick work gloves and a towel, and hit it with blow dryer. A heat gun would work too, but I didnt have a working one at the time. I got the entire lower half as hot as possible while forcing it into place. After it was done, I took my california dusters, put them in the face ducts, and leaned the dusters against the wall... and left it there over night. As long as its held in place while it cools off and has time to settle after its heated, it should stay in place.
And if you ever want more shine out of it, just hand pollish it with some pollishing compound, or even some chrome pollish.

hey silverbolt--know you from the photo share page
anyways, i love the look, and since i have the BS i think it could look just as good.
after reading a bunch i kinda missed some things:
you're using the stock bumper and oem front lip???
then just added these ducts? if i have a standard front lip it should fit right in?
thanks
love it
