Yes, totally worth it! I bought it and it is amazing. You will need to buy a roll of 3M tape, and I would suggest buying that clear 3M bumper paint protection film to help prevent rock chips. As for relocating your license plate take a look at 2zero6factory.com there are some billet style pegs that bolt right up in your lower grille. That way you don't have do drill holes in your cf bumper cap. Here is a pic so you can see how it looks all together.

Super easy. Just pull the license plate frame off the front, clean the bumper really well throw some 3M double sided tape on the top, the front, and the angled area and press it on. Ding Dong Done.

Guess you missed the disclaimer:

Extra Passenger required when buying this product...due to eliminating the tow hook access pushing the car will be the only way to move the car in the event it breaks down....buy at your own risk and expense!

j/k this is one of the reasons I decided not to buy the cover...well that and the fact that you can get carbon fiber wrap for about $40 vs almost $200 but that is just me...

At a lot of body shops etc, you can by the clear 3M protective vinyl that would normally cover your stock bumper, hood bra, etc. I was gonna buy that for the cf bumper cap to help protect the clear coat. As for the "cf" vinyl that is exactly what it is... vinyl. In MY opinion, why buy a vinyl applique that isn't as resistant to rockchips and debris as actual resin. It would seem to me that one would have to replace it on a regular basis just to maintain it's appearance.

But like I said, it is just MY opinion. Freedom of choice, it's what makes this country great.
