i was gonna get the knock off Version Select version. i heard good things about the fitment from them. lol. as for fenders im gonna keep that oem. so only the side skirts and the front bump. for the rear i wanna get the chargespeed rear bump since it has that rear diffuser look going on. but for now im gonna leave my rear stock since i didnt get damaged in that area. i've been meaning to ask you though. i know you either have to modify your crash bar or take it off completly to run the front bump. what did you do to yours?
but yea assuming what you're getting is the same, minus minor fitment issues i would think you would have to either get rid of the US crash bar or buy a JDM crash bar. i was actually told that if i cut off the corners of the US crash bar it would fit but in the end the bodyshop said no go. but honestly you don't exactly need the crash bar... besides the japan crash bar is thinner and if insurance finds out it's not US spec then it's not gonna be good. so either way kinda the same. that being said i went and got me a japan crash bar just to be on the safe side.

its going to be inside the lens. Im thinking about tapping into my mirrors so it dims on/off with the puddles. Plus, wiring up a switch to turn them on/off, thats possible right? I want to paint the housing Hyper Black along with the rest of my chrome. I think itll be different.

so i decided not to go with an aftermarket bumper and just stick to a clean OEM look with a nice lip kit.
much mahalos to Kai_10 of FH for selling me his old bumper for a good price.
