I like it. Now fill that big hole up front with an intercooler attached to the FI kit of your choice.

Ryan, your car looks/sounds great. I'd like to test drive your car to really hear that HKS at full throttle as I feel its sounds more bad *** than my borla. I hope you get those corner issues squared away with the bumper soon. Sucks it wasn't a perfect mold, but they rarely come like that. What's the next mod?

That is the link to my post in the body/interior/exterior/styling section.
A lot more pictures and details were posted. Yuichi, who made this bumper, has placed customer satisfaction at top priority. He sent me a PM trying to help me out.

Ian, a test drive is more than welcome anytime you want.

As for the next mod, I'm hoping to be finished. IPossibly splash guards to match with the new bumper. I have spent too much money on this car. I'm saving for the 07/08 model, whichever it will be.

Bumper is back on, along with the customautomesh. I went back to All Fleet today to talk abot the paint issue. Richard's wife (sorry, I forget her name) said that the only way the paint will match perfectly is if they blend the bumper with the quarter panels and hood ($450). I said no thank you, as I do not want to spend anymore more money on this car that doesn't need to be spent. I will inspect the bumper tomorrow to really see if I need to blend the bumper or not. Pictures will follow tomorrow.

The colors look pretty close in the daylight pictures. Maybe the color difference is more noticeable at night because of the different material or something...

It looks pretty darn good to me!

These are the same pictures as posted in the Exterior section...but I know I don't stray away from the FGC forum often, so I'm posting the pictures here, too.

Notice the left side of the clear corner opening where the clip goes in (this is where it needed to be sanded down...everything fits perfect now)


I decided to take advantage of my headlight overlay I have had sitting in my trunk for a year now


Naked


The reason why I wanted a new bumper...this is my OEM bumper


Kuruma bumper with customautomesh (I ordered the mesh on a Friday and it was at my door by Monday...super fast service!!!)


Now for the goods...I took a ton of pictures that look all the same, so I'm sorry if they look repetitive. I bought my gf a Canon SDH550 for Christmas, so I'm still learning how to mess with it. The car is extremely dirty...sorry for that, too.

Looks good! The screen in the grill gives it a more finished look, too..

Sometimes I think we go overboard and inspect our cars at a microscopic level... Look at the pictures... it looks superb... I'm looking forward to seeing it at the Lokey Meet.

But... Take the white parking pass off your mirror the next time you take pictures... That's the only thing I could find to nitpick.
