That's cool, to each their own. you can't buy the front bumper anyways, it's one off.

I needed the hood to help with keeping the underhood temps in check because of this.


Front bumper was built for purpose, to channel air to this

I like it so I guess that's all that counts. And it sounds a little like this.



Where did your sunroof go, Sir?!
Never had one, wanted one, but didn't wanna pay the premium for it

Mine has cloth (suede) interior. (European model, though)

I like the suede, it seems to give better "grip" when doing a little spirited driving/drifting.

IIRC, theres an extremely low end model GS that I guess not very many were made had no sunroof and an ugly cloth interior. There was one guy in here that had I believe a white one with some tan cloth on the inside...

Looks good, the exterior matches the performance under the hood!
