Looks great.
I see you're also suffering from the dreaded premature rear strut failure.

looks great so far even unpainted! haha
is there a reason why your rear spoiler is removed? i thought the rear bumper cover can be taken off without needing to remove the rear spoiler (unless you have a ducktail i guess)

Car has a techart body kit on it, so the rear spoiler is fixed. Has to be removed in order to remove the bumper

Thanks. Like I said, I feel like I need something a little “‘more” now in the back to tie the whole kit together. Think the .2 bumper will do the trick!

Alright guys, here's the final product. A few notes:

- Ended up painting the heat shield black and then using some wire mesh from amazon that I painted satin black to cover the two side vents
- I think due to either my Techart spoiler or the bumper I sourced actually being a GTS there was a center gap. Instead of adding the center/3rd tail light (would have been too many with the one already in the spoiler) I trimmed that out with the same mesh as the side vents. I think this turned out well, provides a unique and agressive look, and ties everything together nicely.
- The tail lights are factory smoked units. Wanted to dial down the red so it wouldn't compete with the custom Miami Blue brake calipers and seat belts I added to the car
