Opinions of this new wide rear fender and bumper combo?

I've seen this wide body rear being sold on some web site and found this short video of a guy that bought it and has it on his Boxster with a GT2 front end. I'm not so sure that is the best front end for this new wider looking rear. What are everyones opinions? It's all fiberglass and comes with the side skirts and replaces the 986 intake vents with 987 vents. Replaces the rear fenders also and makes them 1 inch widder on both sides.

I don't know that I'm observant enough that I would have noticed the rear flares were 1" wider. So, it looks fine I guess.

The front end end looks ok, just don't like the black lip under it.

All that money spent on parts and paint and you leave your bumperettes black?

Yes, I agree. First thing I would have done would be to change the tail lights and de-amber the headlights in addition to painting the bumperetts. It's hard to see how much wider it really is in the rear after painted, but I have seen the parts primer gray on the Boxster before painting and it is very obvious. I'll have to find those pictures.
