The Wise Bumper looks sweet.

John, the front looks tight, nice aggressive but not overly aggressive..That intercooler is awesome. Cant wait to see the whole car done !



yeah, your kit seems higher than your tte lip for some reason which is good ! Now you can drop the front more.

this is why i read every post before i say anything... EVERYONE is looking at the bumper (which is nice and i have seen it in person, and i think it looks better in blue than on silver ), but the very FIRST thing i noticed is that the middle bar of the RMM is sagging down and looks soooo sloppy. when i 1st started looking into grilles, the RMM was my favorite. then i noticed this defect, so i stayed away... do yourself a favor and get another grille... thats just my $.02


btw, that front is sooooooooooooo hot

EDIT: that intercooler NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDS to be lowered

I was also going to suggest maybe going with another grille, I like the "double open mouth" look of either a carbon fiber TRD or painted TTE grille (what I have and fitment was good)...

I agree about the grille, i dont like how it sags in the middle. I think the trd would fit with the wise bumper much better. I love the wise bumper but would only do it if there was an intercooler to go behind that opening. Your front looks really sick now

Looks sick, Johnny...I love the Wise bumper, bro!

I would agree with an open grill though...I really like the one slat grills, especially the L-tuned, but I think an open grill would look so much better with your set-up.
