What happen to the front window visors?
And you're wrong about the door fillers being "overdone"
I took forever trimming, tugging, removing, refitting that front bumper. That's as good as it gets unfortunately. Looking at pictures of other aero kit cars I saw that many had a larger gap at the fender than I would expect from a factory body kit. Also all but 1 of the tabs on the bumper that lock into the plastic "hooks" on the fender brackets were broken before I got the truck... probably contributing a little to the fitment. Extremely poor mounting design as it is not very durable.

Thanks fellas. Yep, not worried, we all can't like everything fellow members do to their X's. Personal taste is still a thing here. I definitely like it and it's killing me not being able to drive it yet. I haven't put a tank of gas in it since Nov 3rd!
