I'm guessing custom too. If I had that much custom work on my car, I wouldn't have a non-custom bumper. :P

I'm not diggin the interior lol. I guess it's cool with how many freakin screens there are(even that one in the tach!), but the steering wheel and dash wrapped in suede....negatory man.

As for that bumper, I'm pretty sure it's custom. I spot a problem on it though. It looks like there is a 1/4 or 1/2 inch gap where the bumper meets the fender. Or maybe it's just a reflection. it's a pretty common problem with fiberglass bumpers if not shaped correctly.

Not my taste but definitely different. Gotta give him /her credit for that.

The center section of the front bumper is reminiscent of the BMW E46 M3.

I'm guessing it's custom, perhaps has one or more elements grafted onto it
from other bumper(s). It's pretty sharp, but it still has the same characteristic
that the OE bumper has where it "dies" at the lower corners- not very aggressive.

I actually like the suede dash. I'm doing this in my MR2, only black w/ red stitching. The light-colored steering wheel center pad definitely stands out...

I also like the fender detail and the mirror treatment.

Did anyone else notice that the paint is satin, not gloss? They say this is the new trend in paint, but I'm not into it - looks cleap and unfinished, like someone forgot to clearcoat it.
