I got a bunch of wiring and lighting mods up my sleeve also.

Honestly, I think custom bumpers look crappy 99% of the time.

They just look bulky and clunky.

I have to respect how other people view them though, they like em, that's their choice.

I just love the looks of our stock bumper honestly.

Sometimes I don't care for our rear bumper, but most aftermarket options for either are gawdy.

Home made bumpers tend to look better than any aftermarket bolt on.


Here's a mod for ya.
Why dont you put on an RSK, You can do it in a day.

send your IDM to swamps, stage IIs, swap the turbo for a D66, colder AC mod, 6.0 fan or e-fans, pedestal delete, melling LPOP, rear disc brakes, Warn hubs, some LEDs, HIDs, 08+ diff cover, more gauges, oil bypass filter
