I drive a bit higher than that, in my opinion that look is just perfect right there for when my car sits but when I drive I want it more aggressive, when I hit my switches up a bit the whole wheel sticks out more giving it a insane aggressive look that looks like a caveman walking through cause of my negative offsets. So I do not drive like that, but I do ride low and rub hard, where it sits in the pictures is only for parking.
If you heard that than I know exactly who you heard that from, but in my opinion the bumper was fine, I'm used to aftermarket fiberglass bumpers so nothing new to me. I didn't have to add layers to the bumper but of course, ALL aftermarket bumper requires work to make it fit 100%, ALL. And I had the AIT TS bumper before and the quality of glass was way worse along with fitment so I'm very happy with mine. I use AIT for an example because it's the only other full bumper out that looks good in my opinion and I had first hand experience with it.

Love the look, and it would look awesome with a nice intercooler showing. Problem is, there is some SERIOUS fitment problem where the bumper meets the fender above the headlight. Other than that, hands off to you.
And no matter what anyone says, those wheels are the sex.

I'm sorry sir I respect your projects and info but you've stated a few times "all" fiberglass and aftermarket bumpers have fitment issues and I just want to tell you that's just not true. It's the quality of parts produced by the manufactures you're personally dealing with, I'm in no way insulting you, but you're buying budget brand mass produced products which are lower monies so it would be obsurd to expect exellance. My Zele (fiberglass) bumper fit better than OEM, I know you're in the sceen, feel free to contact Long @ DTM for a reference, but then again I did pay $1,600 for the front bumper. Sorry for butting in but you saying "all" need work just isn't true, but you do get what you pay for, but your car looks great I just finally wanted to express that to you.
