Fenders and lights are looking good, the cutouts in the fenders could look good if they follow the contours of the taillight opening, but they might get very close to your tires.

Not digging the front grille surround/lip though, I think the car looks better without it. I'd be tempted to try a simple sheet plastic cover over the depressed area under the radiator opening and attaching the mesh inside the opening somewhere. I think the mesh will pop out at higher speeds if you try to stick it in with sealant, you definitely want some proper mechanical retention using small bolts or hidden zip ties - auto manufacturers tend to use plastic clips for holding mesh in.

Thanks for the comment. There were many that shared your concerns and suggested mechanical connection. I will see what I can come up with.
