Bumper Detail
Here's some stuff you can't see from the pictures that I posted. The bumpers are actually two-tone. RMMGS4 floated the idea and I had it done - what's the worst that can happen, right?! As you can see the front and rear bumpers have a nice line/cut-out that lends to the look. Suppose black would have also worked. The silver/gray does not quite match the rims, but I was thinking about having them re-done anyways.

Your car looks great. I was wondering about the front fog lights. The older version of the Toms kit does not allow the stock fog lights. I'm guessing you're using stock foglights in this new version?
Not being able to use the stock fog lights witht he Toms front bumper was the only reason i didn't get it.

Here's some pictures of one of the many poorly kept secrets surrounding EOS V3. Strangely enough, I don't have any good pictures [bad light and car is dirty] and I have none from the big meet last week. Have been buried at work before and after the meet but will get some better pictures this weekend.
Quick refresher on the car: 98 GS 400 [officially 7 year old last month], Cinnabar, Nach and factory HIDs, Stoptech 4 corner BBK w/metal master pads, Tein HA, TRD sways, Tom's front/rear strut tower braces, Tom's front/rear lower chassis braces, Tom's 6-Link Brace Kit, Tanabe Hyper Medallion Exhaust w/resonators deleted, ATS Carbon LSD w/stock gearing, PI Torque Converter, B&M Tranny Cooler, K&N FIPK, Optima Yellow, TeCK Grounding Kit, RMM CF Engine Cover, RMM Grill, Tom's S630 Aristo Body Kit inc/ Side Skirts and Front/Rear Bumpers, Tom's Rear Window Spoiler, Staggered 18" Volk LE37K's w/Good Year GS-D3, '01 Tails, and custom Venture Tape [clear bra] installed by PMAG. Next, new exhaust and audio upgrades. Oh, and probably a set of JP Tails.
Along with the kit, the hood, grill and mirrors were re-shot and the front fenders blended. Regarding the grill mesh - matching mesh was used in the RMM grill and Tom's bumper. And yes, it's directional mesh aligned the same direction - problem is the mesh in the bumper leans forward while the mesh in the grill is tilted back. So I'll also be changing out the mesh when I get around to it.

Wow, that 7 year old car looks better than most all 2005 cars sold today.
