That must of cost a pretty penny. Atleast that way it would be a perfect fit.

It's a perfect fit, but I'm actually growing tired of it. I might go a different route.

I had both and although I ended up keeping the one with out the euro plate, the europlate looks pretty mean imo...

It's actually 359 Tanzanite Blue. I'll keep you updated if I decide to sell. I thought the europlate looked good too. I tried to change my order, but it was too late.

Good luck! Looking forward to seeing how this worked. You might've just made this vendor a very busy guy if this works as well as it should

whatever does not fit right, gonna let vis know.

they will modify whatever i feel needs to be fixed.

Alright guys...Sorry it took so long to post. The fitment on the top of the bumper didn't fit to well so VIS will be remolding it and it'll be available in about 1.5 months. Here are some pictures. Also, is anyone interested in a Carbon Fiber mold? Thanks.

they are not charging anything because they can't sell a kit that don't fit. they are reworking it right now...test fit one more time, if it fit then they are gonna make a new mold.

the left side looks pretty good. from your pics it seems that only the right(driver side) needs to be modified? anyways, hope everything works out.
