Fully love the wheels, but that front bumper is pretty nasty looking from the pics sorry.

Like you said though the pics might not quite do it justcie, so in real life it might be bearable.

I think the mesh may need to be a bit more discrete...perhaps black?
And either get some spot lights or caps to cover the holes( like you can on wrx bumpers) It doesnt look quite right with so much mesh where lights should be...


But hey each to their own!

8O

If I am to be as bold as the others and voice my opinion too....

1: Get rid of that tiny holed mesh and put some better stuff in there! Something with bigger gaps in it, and paint it black!

2: Either put spotlights in those holes or get covers for them. And paint them black!

3: Put a pod filter behind one of the outer holes and run some piping to your intake... Mean Cold Air Induction!

4: And if you want to be really 'Rice', mount a big shiny Front Mount Intercooler in the middle gap! Every if your car is not turbo!
.....or you could always turbo it!

Your Opinion Means 1/16th Of Stuff All To Me So Dont Bother Arguing With Me About It As I Just Dont Care.

I like the car but not the mesh... but from the pic above(the mesh), it looks like they have been re-sized, so maybe it's screwing up the look of it(note the weird left and right angles on the mesh).

F@#k you're a bunch of opinionated assholes :D hahaha!!

Nah Ive seen this car in person and looks way better, the photo makes the mesh look all munted and wobbly, much better in the flesh.

If you guys saw the bumper before it went on you'd definitely be impressed, lots of cutting, sanding and swearing :lol:

you should cut the heads of a couple off dolls and staple them to the mesh in the spottie holes... now that would be a garunted(sp) head turner!!
The list so far
