I can now say my Fabulous endeavor is complete. So I decided to go with my gut, and paint the exhaust area black. I wanted cutouts, so I decided to cut out vents above the exhaust opening where everything flows in a subtle way, which still keeps its original design.
Sweating bullets cutting this thing.
Now completing the Fabulous kit, or parts of the kit I fancy, (the side skirts are not my thing), Fabulous really took design cues of the Mugen front and rear bumper, as they are similar in simplistic lines and design. I didn't get to take a side pic of the car, as the side is my favorite part of the bumper, will do next time, but its shorter in length compared to OEM, and similar in shape and length as the Mugen rear bumper. The Varis diffuser took some cutting and alterations to sit flush with the body, and fit the Kent Works Exhaust. The result turned out well, with with no gaps to the diffuser and looks like it will diffuse.
I also had to get the JDM license plate bracket and JDM bumper reinforcement, as USDMs did not fit. To go with the overall clean look of the Fabulous bumper, I decided to remove the Fabulous emblem, and shave the trunk emblem. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the kit and result, and everything turned out well how I visualized I wanted it to be. Although its going back to the shop to get minor adjustments and alterations to the bumper as there are minor imperfections. I also got the Craft Square mirrors painted same color as body to go with the clean look that the car portrays.

Thanks Steve, I agree I'm glad I did too. Although if I did paint it one single color, I would of figure out some way to make it work. But I would probably be cutting the bumper more than I would like to
