Again, no disrespect to you or your ride but that would drive me crazy.

Love that grill, wish they made those for the '14+
They do make it for the 14, djgrilles.comName:  uploadfromtaptalk1430942690692.jpg

Your car isn't lowered at all is it, it's at stock ride height, correct? How much clearance do you have in the front now?

The bumper is a lot lower, I haven't had any issues with scraping besides leaving my drive way which had a slight incline, I use to drive a lower eclipse so, just gotta take some driveways at a angle that's all.

Good to hear, problem for me is, my car is already lowered 1.5" on Pedders sport coils... I'm worried I'll be prohibitively low with this fascia. What do you think?

Your front bumper will drop another 1" at dead center nose. With the 1.5" drop you will need to be very careful with inclines into driveways and such.

Shop got it all lined up after some body work, just waiting on the painter. Would've taken a pic at the shop but nothing to see, the bumper was facing down and he was installing the mesh grille.

Does anyone know what shipping company is used to ship the bumpers? Tony said my bumper was shipped the week of April 23. It's been two weeks and I still have not received my bumper nor a tracking number. I am on the East Coast so I know it will take a minute. Generally things I have shipped from the West Coast I've received within this timeframe.

Also, the bumper paint color looks different from the rest of the car in all of the pics.

I went down the aggressor road twice - the 1 and 2. The first was a total mess, the second was better but still could never get it to fit right after months of adjustments and readjustments. Unfortunate because I always thought this was the best looking bumper out there.

As far as a drop goes, my car was almost 2 inches low on coilovers and as you might expect, speed bumps or inclines were basically impossible. When I switched back to an SS bumper, had no more issues.

What did you end up doing afterall with the bumper?

I've taken my bumper to 2 shops and they both warned me it wouldn't work.
So I ended up taking it to one of the most expensive shops in San Antonio.

They called me Friday letting me know that the bumper install is so far unsuccessful, that it keeps folding in the very center and basically said that after it's all said and done. My bumper in particular "will not come out the way it was intended to."

This is very disappointing :/

The painters used then original paint and they said due to the plastic it's hard to get the same look but they trying to make it brighter, it's getting repainted next weekend

I don't see why they having a hard time, there little modification that's needed and without them it fits pretty good, I had issue in the marker area and the fender gap but that will be getting fix this weekend. Besides that I think it looks fineName:  uploadfromtaptalk1431288903497.jpg
