I feel you on the bumper looking to wide but this car is actually missing some Custom side skirt to match the front (Car is not Completed yet) and for the headlights i just mocked this up but i will eventually change it to non Pop ups. F.Y.I. I do know that this is not the proper way of installing the Aerocatch pins but i just like the upside down look and the idea of the pins from mounting underneath just dont look very safe to me

by the way, here's the way you can "properly" install the latches using that same spot for the pins. ANGRY EYEBROWS!

Lot's of guys do feed fender and re bumper, long as you have full re pro diffuser and front cf canards, you would have to install feed fender to re bumper to understand Re facer bumper is 30mm all the way feed is 20mm you have no choice but to stretch out the fender and little pull to meet 30mm re bumper and line them out so it turns to 30mm,also autoboy is actully right way of installing aero hood pin or it's all what ever u want as long as the pin is placed at right place but first time seeing installed that way... entire re car installed both right on top of headlight cover stright so circle is not on the way for Re amemiya head lights or ksp, evo r ect.. because ur gonna have to trim plastic part that mounts bolts and hold entire headlight kit.
I love the bumper but it looks weird on your car because you don't have the right fenders/side skirts to go with it. The car looks super wide in the front, but then just behind the wheels you have FEED fenders instead of the RE-Amemiya fenders to match the bumper, so the car looks super skinny.
Your headlights seem to be aiming at the ground...do they even light the road at night? I understand you want the sleepy-eye look, but you should adjust the lamp mounting brackets so the lights themselves still aim straight. As of right now, you've ruined your nighttime lighting in favor of style choice.
Also your AeroCatch latches are installed wrong, for 2 reasons:
#1 the wider end of the latch is supposed to go toward the back of the car. Obviously you can't do that with the location where you have the pins, so in that case the latches are supposed to be sideways or angled. This is how they are supposed to be aligned:
#2 you have the "flush" style (model #125) that are supposed to mount on the underside of the hood, but you have them mounted on top of the hood. For the kind that mounts on top of the hood, you want model #120.
See the difference:
