Love that upper without the holes. Looks great. Did you install it yourself?

The upper cf is pretty stiff and straight, but the part of the bumper that it adheres to is a consistent curve. Did you have any problems with it staying stuck at the edges? Any gap? I'm having that issue with mine.

So far, so good. It's only been on for a few days though. I bought 3m bonding agent that u put on the tape. It's pretty solid... No gaps.

I just ordered the same piece for my Gun Mettalic.

Is there a specific name for the 3M bonding agent? I assume you can pick it up at Home Depot or Lowes?

Thanks!
