Well i have a few more plans for the car. As money comes available I want to do an mtech rear with cf diffuser, mtech sides, suspension, then exhaust. But who knows. I'm open to suggestions.

Sig change coming soon. I want to get some good shots of the car in the next few days

Hey guys. Just got the car home. Its been raining here for a while, so once it clears up, a photoshoot is next on the list. But heres a few driveway shots. Fitment is great, no issues whatsoever. Just need to get new headlight washer brackets to fit. Let me know what you think, good or bad...
Looks fantastic. I really want to do this mod... I have been putting it off until I find a new job, my plant is closing in September and I'm hording cash until I find something more stable.

Who installed it?

Was it hard to find a shop willing to do it?

Can I ask how much the install cost?

Why do you need new headlight washer brackets?

Sorry for all the questions but I have headlight washers and PDC and I want everything to work when I'm done.

No problem at all. I had no trouble finding a shop to install it, my local shop just required a test fit before they agreed. In total the installation/paint/labor came to $360. This seems to be at the lower-middle end of the price spectrum.

As for the headlight brackets, the stock ones simply don't fit umnitzas bumper. I haven't corrected thisyet but I believe you need the ones for the mtech bumper, but shaving them down is still required. But honestly other than that my shop saidthey were very impressed with the fitment for a replica. I can't find one alignment issue, great fit

If anyone has anymore questtions let me know, this bumper is a great deal
