    It astounds me what you can do with a couple of buddies...a couple of beers, and a cut-off wheel. :)

    Now all we need...is the emblem.

    not at all... perfect clearance all around. when we built the prototype for what was to be the Spool Turbo Kit we made sure it would clear on not only a stock 98-00 bumper but the foglamps on a 01-02 bumper as well. in either case, you need only make minor modification to the bumper under-lip on the drivers side to clear the bottom 1/4" of the IC piping. The tops are set to clear foglamps, bodykits, etc...


    indeed sir.

    the only problem with this? it's 200 + shipping

    You can purchase a bumper from a certi-fit (if you have one near you) for about $35 and have a local shop paint/match it for about $100 - so for about $100 less you get it matched to your car and you don't have to have it shipped. :)

    Good find though for those that don't have the luxury of a cheap place to get the bumper. :)
