I'm sure this new bumper styling will get mixed feedback.


Old and busted OEM bumper with grill that has been cut out + Abflug Lip





S2 airguide





The airguide was massaged/trimmed so that it fits perfectly.





Molding in S2 airguide





Modified the Abflug lip to S2 style by chopping the side burns. Also, the parts that overlap the bumper were chopped off for a cleaner look.





The round tunnels for projector lights.





Primed.




The backside






End result




Pardon the picture quality for now.

Got some goodies in the mail this week.







Stopped by the Japanese Classic Car Show in Long Beach yesterday and picked up some fun items.

While I do have Shine replica aero on my car...I found the Engrish in this JDM Ego license plate frame amusing, so I had to have it.
