i think most people bubble wrap it and hide it. since it throws a code cutting it off.

Sweet stuff looks pretty good!

What did you do about the under carriage cover ? Did it extend all the way to the bumper?

Also the wheel wells, what'd you do to extend it down to meet with the bumper?

The bulbs are bubble wrapped and tied back. No codes. It would not be difficult to re-install with a little ingenuity, but at this time I'm working on an idea using race-inspired brake cooling ducts and a custom duct to funnel air directly into my VK oil cooler. On the drivers side - I'm toying with the idea of creating a funnel to direct the air up into the engine compartment, it's a clear shot to my Injen DCI. Could act as a semi cold air intake.

Like all non-oem - it does not fit as perfectly as an oem part. That being said, it can be made to fit very well (most people would think it's oem) and I recommend working with a good body shop to get a good paint match (which I did)

Again, will need some tlc while installing, but can be made to fit pretty damn good.

I had the M-tech so the centerpiece was moved forward an inch and work great. I'll be working on the wheel wells by taking an extra set of wheel well skirts (free from a body shop) and epoxy/heat gun a set of custom covers.
