Carbon fiber splitter and diffuser, painted brakes, and black tail lights installed

This weekend I installed a Carbon Fiber front splitter and rear diffuser, GM black tail lights, TredWear tire lettering, painted the brake calipers with G2 paint, debadged the SS emblem and replaced it with a hybrid emblem (for sh*ts and giggles), switched the license plate lights to LEDs and applied a side marker/reflector tint kit as well as the third brake light tint with the "Camaro" cutout. Installed all of this with the help of a friend at home so feel free to let me know if you have any questions about the install process.

Carbon side skirts, and CF wicker bill spoiler are next on my list for cosmetic mods and possibly a CF hood.

I did the install at home without any cutting but the edge where the diffuser meets the bumper isn't completely flush with the bumper but I think you could fix that by sanding down the edge a bit. But as you can tell even without doing that you can't really notice the gap.

Here's a link to a video I made to show the fitment issue and why it happens https://youtu.be/rfGnEEsI704
The gap is also exaggerated a bit because I have a really small dent there as well

Hey, could you take pics to see how low the front splitter is?
I may put BMR springs but my apartment's entrance may not allow it so ;(
