Finally! Athens Blue with Kuruma Z. lots of pics

After some time, the Kuruma Z is finally painted and on the car. I've included a pic to show that it matches up with stock sides and splash guards quite well. It is a tad lower than stock. There are practically no gaps in grill/hood area. the color is off because of bad lighting and there is a big *** storm coming.



And for how it fits. Maybe I'm too **** but there are a few issues.
The major gap is by the driver side headlight.
The paint is a little darker, but not too noticeable.
Little gaps by the sidemarkers.
The mesh grills are not tight.
I don't know much about bodywork, but apparently polyurethane is harder to work with than fiberglass, ie smoothing out the surfaces and filling in gaps.




Overall impression:
The bumper itself is of very good construction and flexible. Bought it from Coz at Concept Z performance and he was always quick to respond and very helpful. The body guy said it was one of the better aftermarket bumpers he's seen. It fits as well as any aftermarket bumper can be expected to fit, not 100% but close. You can't see the imperfections unless you look closely. It looks awesome and I'm happy with the work that was done.
I have other pics so if there are requests for other angles I will post them.

Thanks to J&M Motorsports, Gilley, 98intrigue, and Accordfreak.

def gonna be cheaper than getting a new set of tires/rims

looks good izmir. glad everything worked out for you.

the bumper isn't too aggressive which matches the sides/mudflaps just fine. you can always get side skirts later. Just save up for those nice wheels check out some DPEs

I actually think the new bumper looks good with the mud guards on. I would leave it as is. Great Job.
