Hey Guys, I guess I'm busted I was trying to keep the front of the car out of conversation until I got the fogs fitted but yes this is the new front bumper that we now carry. I ordered it a long time ago (when I thought there would be no more L-SPORTLINE), and have had it mounted a couple weeks back. Just like the authentic L-SPORTLINE, the bumper has no brakets for the fogs, so I have to have some fabricated, and things have just been so crazy. The whole ICE setup and wheels/tires were done last Thursday and friday!!
Hameed - no forced induction, but yes a new bumper.
Rominl - you know how I strive to put the best face forward and empty foglight holes in the bumper are driving me crazy, thus no pics from me!
Neo - you called it!!
Ted920- yes I added some ice stuff, only to attract prospective custoemers at shows (I was tired of people walking up at shows, looking at the outside, then peering inside the car and giving me that "wheres the rest" look). There is a 7" monitor in lieu of the rearview, a camera flush mounted in the 3rd brake light, a DVD player and a 15" drop down screen in the rear. I also added a amp sub yadda yadda yadda. All work was done at one of D2-AUTOSPORT's audio/visual partners - Rayco in Auburn, MA - (pm member Lexis11 for more assistance)

ah so this is the kit huh, indeed it looks just like the lsportline.
how about the sides, why you are not putting that on, derrick? i hope the fogs bracket would be here too, i think the car looks funny without it
the more i look at the pics the more i noticed that the wheels are pretty conservative? maybe both front and back could be pushed out more? especially the front?

nah its the pics and the rear camber. I have no fender mods at all, and you cant sqeeze a finger in the rear. The front tires are 235/35-20 and the front wheel is pretty aggressive on offset, but it doesnt stick out. Mathematically a 245/35 has a larger overall diamter than a 275/30-20 and it annoyed me that my rear tire had a sexy slight strectch, while the front tire was bulkier. I wanted them both to have the same sexy slight stretch, now they do
The bumper is a little lower than L-SPORLINE (maybe 15-25% more aggressive) and I like that. And yes, car looks like a damn rice rocket with no fogs!

We then determined maybe in the third brake light but what seems to be a bit of a problem is it isn't high enough to clear the spoiler so we have to adjust it just a little.
Derrick will chime in I am sure but I just wanted to let you guys know how we came about the third brake light.
