Default ***UPDATE**** NEW PICS: Look what just arrived!

RKSport Front Bumper:





With my Eibach Sportlines, I'll only have about 4 inches or so of clearance...yikes!! But it will be worth it.

Paint and Install Pics to come soon!

****UPDATE*****

Here is what I have so far.. what do you guys think??





I think it turned out pretty damn good, but it was a HUGE pain. This bumper had nothing pre-drilled, pre-cut, and didn't really even fit the OE mounting hardware. We had to do a lot of cutting, drilling, shaving to get it to work. After about 5 hours we got it looking pretty good. Obviously the grille is not on yet. This is because we need a different tool and I figured that if I was going to put another couple hours into this, then I might as well get the grille I'm eventually going to get anyways (center mount fog, mesh). I wasn't going to put the lower mesh on, but I needed something to cover the bumper that is visible through the larger air dam. Once we put the mesh on and painted the bumper black, you couldn't see it. I was going to go with a black billete fog delete, but now I am going to do the mesh so it matches. To any that are looking to put this on, good luck and block out a whole day
