I like it. I'm planning on a complete shave of mine, no vents or lower lip lines, but it's an 08 so less chunky bumper to start with. For the side vents I would say to change out the two center grills and match them to it.

Love it! Really like the removal of the lower bumps that go into the vents. I dont do bodywork, how much do you think a body shop woud charge to do that, and repaint bumper.

thanks all, it does look like a storm trooper! i work in a collision center doing body work so i know how to do this stuff, but since it isnt a custom shop i wouldnt know what the cost would be to do the work. i would guess it could easily be 500 for the work and then a couple hundred more for the paint work.

I really dig it. Looses a bit of that aggressive look, but not enough to give it a 09-10 look.

Nice Job!
Only (fantasy) improvement would be to have the '08-'10 5-Axis lip kit fit...
