Recent Kaminari front bumper review?

I searched and read the majority of the kaminari front bumper/body kit threads and I am heavily considering buying the front bumper. I found a place where I can get it for 475 shipped. So, my question is....

Does anyone have a recent review on the front bumper/kit?

I have the kit and I love it. The front bumper isn't the most aggressive front out there, but it's decent. If there was one thing I would change about the kit, it would be a more aggressive front bumper. But I like the sideskirts and rear. They flow well with the car and don't look too intense. The quality is top notch. Kaminari has been around forever, and the kit is urethane so it won't break. I've hit my front bumper tons of times and it's still perfect. I did have it repainted once already though (damn winter weather). Installation is easy, fitment is perfect. Just depends on the look you want. If you want something aggressive, I woulnd't go with Kaminari. I've seen a few cars with the kaminari sides and rear, but a different front end and that usually looks really good. I was going to get rid of my front end for another, but now that I had to custom fab my bumper to fit my intercooler, I just decided to keep it. The kit is definitely worth the money and will make the car look a lot nicer though.

Thanks for the input. The reason why I want the kaminari front bumper is because it isn't too agressive. I want a little change but without massive attention. Looks like I am going to have to cut the bumper to fit my intercooler also. I had to cut the stock bumper. I'll order it probably midweek.

Any other reviews.

Honestly, I have no idea. I got it from a local shop. They told me it was a VIS, but it's not. There's no name badges on it anywhere so I'm assuming it's a knock-off. But it's holding up really well if it is a knock-off. No fading, cracking, or anything. It's almost 3 years old and still looks great.

best fitment in the market. however, ur paying a little too much if ur getting just the fronnt bumper for 475$USD (even though its shipped). especially for a kit that came out more than 3 years ago.

i bought it when it came out a few years back, and still i love it.

I've been shopping around and I found that to be the best price for the bumper online. However, I did call a couple contacts and got the price down a little bit more.
