Please excuse the lopsided exhaust, it has been fixed.

Quick question
VS
It looks like you have the stock front bumper, but with the front slats painted all flat black. I dig the look, reminds me of Initial D. What is that spoiler on the lower part of your front bumper? I really like the look. It's simple and goes along with the car. OEM+ if you know what I mean.

I didn't like my car's stock "teeth" look, with BOTH the horizontal AND the vertical slats/supports painted white
...The VERTICAL slats have a "cap" fitted OVER the actual supports and these can be 'snapped' off and painted flat black (what I did).
This leaves only the horizontal cross support in the bumpers mouth. I think it looks good with the 'mouth' like this, but after several months I got tired of it and began looking into the different ways that it could be painted.
It's not easy to do it right, because the cross support "flares" into the sides of the mouth.
The lip was sourced off an s13 Nissan 240sx. It's *kind of* a hard to find factory option. It fits with little modification. Problem is, it costs about as much as a stock s5 TII lip because it's in high demand (about $200).

I loved the Harbor Blue on my old 1989 GTU, but I guess that I'll have to settle for Blaze Red on my 1991 with 16,000 miles. Fortunately it's not faded to the dull orange color you normally see with FC's.
