$1050 later (thats right...ON TOP OF THE $800 for the bumper) it finally got done.
Im not sure what some of you guys find acceptable with afm parts but this thing sucks ayse. Def. not worth all the dough. The material itself is super flimsy. The guy said it was like working with the wet-cooked noodle. There is a ton of things they needed to modify behind the bumper cover, so theres much, much more to it than what Ill be telling you.
on to the pics... The final product looks great. Only giving "props" to the Bodyshop for pulling it off for me.
Sorry, Im no pro in taking or touching up pics.
They needed to modify the inner corners where the bumper meets the fenders. (mega overlapping over the headlights)
They also needed to modify the right front upper bumper leg. (where it meets the hood.) The hood wouldnt shut because of interfence. (mega overlap as well)
Check out my ground clearance. Used my verizon EN-V as a prop.
OK now for all those who say I need "sides". Its in the works fellas. I had a set of Ings sides from Eric but they really didnt work out to well for me. So I think Im gonna do a set of Nismo sides. I basically want plug and play parts that fit like OEM. Im tired of B.S'ing around.
Ok, so for those who want a Kuruma, based on my expirience, either look for something else OR get ready to pay to get it to FIT like OEM. It should, Its fuvking expensive enough, ya know.
Comments good or bad welcome!

Is it really that bad? I thought or think I am pretty picky about things like this also. I just purchased a Carbon Creations carbon fiber GReddy look a like and it was a piece of **** also, the side markers wouldn't fit. So I took it back getting taxed a 25% restock fee from the shop when I picked it up from Extreme Dimensions. I have the GReddy fiber glass bumper on there right now and it's not that great in fitment but alot better then Carbon Creation crap when they just duped the GReddy. Everyone states because it's aftermarket it's not going to fit properly. Just because it's aftermarket doesn't mean it has to be a piece of ****. I see on the right side where the fender/bumper meet but the rest looks pretty good. Is that mesh grill metal or plastic?
I got mine from Coz too... I did the fitting myself in about an hour, only a couple small fixes. Not bad considering I'd never installed any body parts before. Not sure why yours would be so far off, I'm surprised to hear it.

You were wrong?? C'mon man use your head. Just because this guy had an issue does that really mean that fitments are ALWAYS horrific? Obviously not if you look at the comments made by some others that have it.
If you read the thread, the fitment isnt that bad on the Karuma Z. If you have a good shop do the install, they can make it work. I think the guy who started this thread is just a n00b who got raped.
