So far so good, honestly I couldn't be happier. The heavy winter in Montreal is punishing the car and so far the headlights and the HIDs are performing perfect.
No leaks or condensation, so far. The rubber and glue are brand new, gotta check in the long term.
Under the hood.
New air intake really giving that little extra push to the new "extra pounds" from the new bumper.
The car definitely feels heavier with the bumper, and Im under the impression I lost 1/2 inch in the front. Im still getting use to how she drives, I feel kinda weird driving...
Detailed photos of the new bumper.
Gap between the radiator grille and the end of the bumper (hood open)
Gap with the hood closed
Had the fog lights connected to a switch I can turn on or off, independent from the rest of the lights.
On my to do list;
Find a way to cover the gap...

Couldn't be happier with them, they really changed the look of the ride.
Hope this helps.
I know this picture doesn't do justice (taken with the cellphone), I got my car after 8 hours of waiting so no sunlight. Didn't know installing a ARB bumper took that much work.
I'm very satisfied but still need to do some detailing, there is the gap that needs to be dealt with, I have the old...
Big day today;
After weeks of delay, waiting for the package to arrive finally installing ARB front bumper and K&N air intake. Hopefully everything goes as planned, should have my car back in the 4-5 hours.
Very excited to see the final result.
The bulbs are H11 for the low beams with 8000k HID, the headlight assembly came with the HID bulb ready in the unit. Great deal for the price.
Now high beam I don't have anything yet.
I know, I looked at my thread as a guest and I can't see any pics. I reported the post to see if I can get any help from the administrator.
I'm using chrome as well but from a Mac.
For now you can check the pics in my album, while I fix the problem.
The 285 are doing very good actually, had them for 3 and half years now, I have no wheel spacers so they touch the upper arm when I try a full U turn. I didn't trim the bumper.

The front view with the new headlights. I will eventually be replacing the broken bumper. Just waiting for the new one to arrive.
I also need the fillers for the bumper gaps.
This is how she looked two weeks ago, I ordered new headlights since the ones I had were in horrible shape... Long story short.
Finally I could get to installing the new headlights. HID low beans 8000k black matching with the LED tail lights also black. I went with the 06-09 headlights.
