was the front bumper painted? is this also true for the 08 front bumper?
currently my front bumper has swirls from a fender bender and tons of chip marks +other stuff that looks like crap.rather just start fresh. get 08 bumper from infinitiparts and the tsp front lip from 180.

Where is the confusion? There are 3 bumpers (correct me if I'm wrong guys), normal, aero, and IPL. Aero and IPL are essentially identical except for the fact that the IPL comes in the 2 IPL colors and costs $1600. This is the front bumper everybody on here has ordered.

Guys, I couldn't stand looking at that big box in my living room while I wait for my fogs so I installed everything today...on my last bolt when the UPS guy comes and drops the fogs at my house..lol of course!

It's dark and I'm done with this thing for the day, but anybody think I can install the fogs without removing the entire bumper. Took me sometime to remove to begin with...don't wanna do it again if I can avoid it.

Thinking of trying to install them from underneath...any suggestions?

I have thought about running the TS-p through 180, its just been around for a long time and its getting somewhat old. Plus knowing that its a replica would bother me I guess. I still am thinking about doing it though and running fog lights like (G-Lover, Brian) did. Buying the Zele front would be best idea, run it with aero sides and rear

yea the zele kit is sick. going to need a big tax refund to consider that purchase. i too favor the 'real' product rather than a replica...its just the $. If you want to be legit, buy legit. If I get the front bumer il certainly do some aero sides.

I am sure with enough influence accompanied by the anticipation of Zdayz I will surely splurge more money on my car than I originally forecasted

getting that mod itch...

Zele doesnt come painted that I know of. But a couple members on here are selling. Or order it now and it will be here in time for summer, hopefully. Tuff decision.

Heck no! LOL! I don't even know how some of you guys tapped into the headlight wires without removing the headlights. I took both of em out to wire the fogs into the headlights, I couldn't find an easier alternative

So I received my OB bumper today ordered on Jan 2nd.

Overall the condition came pretty good 9.8/10

Now my question is what are those black foam pieces on the backside?? I imagine they stay on but I haven't tried installing yet as I am waiting for my fogs to come in.
