I would at least finish off the small section between the front bumper and wheel arch in black, it looks way broken up IMO. Looks like a puzzle piece fits in there

I think you should definitely do what I highlighted in yellow, and possibly what I have highlighted in red.

I don't think you can do the yellow unless you tape it perfectly.....actually don't bother - what he has done already looks good b/c there is separation already between upper and lower halves of the front bumper.....

and if he does the red he'll want to do the entire skirt! Where does it end! =)

yea, if there was a section that was separated on the yellow part I would do it, but I like the way it looks. Ill prob just do some of the interior trim and the chrome trim.

That is the factory aero kit and they ALL have that area cut off at the end of the arches. It's pretty standard issue with the factory aero kit.
