dang dude... VERY observant!!!
yes, the bumper is a shade lighter...
i did it cause of the holes the previous owner had for the front plate...and there was some scratches here and there... i might get it resprayed...not sure yet tho...

as for the airbox and intake tube...my friend manufactures parts so we fab'd this one up for the show. we're still doing some tests to get it just right

if there's any input on it, let me know. we're thinking about mass producing these but not sure if it will sell or not...

Who did the LED lights in your front fender vents? I'd like to do that, but have a slightly different idea for its use.

some ppl have been asking me more about the LEDs...here's one more angle... you can see the refelction on the top showing where the LEDs are...the strip is adhered to the inside of the vent and the LEDs are shining straing into the fender...during the day or when they're off, you can't tell they're even there unless you run your finger inside the vent. also, they don't block any airflow at all...
