This pic really helped me see difference in the front bumper alone about which kit will fit onto my 01. I've been debating a handful of things:

1) paint all the textered black in blue to match the body
2) leave the textured black and install one of these kits in blue
3) vinyl wrap the textured plastic in the new wet look carbon fiber wrap that's out now (which means I'd have to smooth the current rockers and bumpers)
4) do number 3 and install one of these kits.

I'm not really into the flared fenders because my iForged 20's have the perfect offset already and are dead flush w/ the fenders. If I installed the flares then I'd feel I needed to run spacers in the rear...and I'm all over the highway in regards to how I feel about the safety of spacers when driving the car hard that weighs as much as this.
