In the past I was used to more rigid lighter material ie: fiberglass or even plastic. After speaking with the auto body shop they said rubber requires a little extra prep work to get the proper primer to adhere to the rubber because of the oil in the rubber, but it would not be a big deal. After installed and mounted the flexibility was no longer an issue as I thought it would be (but still not as hard as the factory plastic). The middle bottom area of the fascia was left as the original rubber. If you are considering this and are concerned either about the fitment or the rubber material all I can say is don't, because it goes together fine and the paint matching and quality are perfect. The only real modification is they have to replace the windshield washer reservoir with the one that comes with the kit.
The old stock reservoir has two connectors to it, one is a sensor to let you know when you're low and the other is for the pump. The new reservoir does not come with the "empty" sensor so you won't get the dummy light when you are low on fluid. Also the reservoir is about 1/4 smaller than the stock.
My body shop gave me a 6 year warranty on their work and offered to do touch ups for free if I get any small pits/dings in the front area from road gravel etc.... Something you may want to ask your body shop prior to having the work done. The body shop I went to is family owned and gave me a better price than the chain franchise and it was just a better experience over the corporate thing... If you are a DIY type then you could probably have all 3 pieces painted for around $450 bucks and do the install yourself, if you wanted to save a buck. My price out the door was $800 not including the cost of the parts themselves. If you have any questions feel free to PM me.
