That's a nice bumper, looks like a slightly updated 99 Spec.

I'd love to see that bump with a more 911 approach to the placement of those LEDs, seems weird to split the oil cooler ducts in half like that.

Something like this




Always cool to see the FD still get fantastic aftermarket love like this though ^^

Elliot, the bumper is FRP, so it has some play; however, not as flexible as OEM.

Thanks for the props, gentlemen. Car has a long way to go, but I will get there!


Thatdon, I hear you. Not sure why the lights were incorporated that way. This bumper is a few years old, so it is dated slightly.

I am not convinced I am staying with these wheels. I will be test fitting some others this weekend.

Charlie, car looks great my friend. Love that last front three-quarters shot

I agree on the wheel, that ring of fasteners looks odd to me. I think it makes the wheels are appear smaller, and the tires appear larger. What size is the setup?

I've also been on and off looking for black interior parts. Mainly seats and door panels. Dont mind getting the seats redone, but I haven't been quick enough to get some nice black door panels.

and its a Toyota color from the RAV4s and such. Kind of a muted bronze.



whats the exact name of that color ? pyrite micha?

Rich,

I think the black lips are throwing perception off...they are 18X10 CCW with 285/30 on all four corners. The fasteners are brand new too...

A still need to add side skirts, rear diffuser, and maybe a mirror change. More to follow.

They look like they may be 17's. Even 16's? Look small.
