    The best fiberglass you ever saw lol. OK, ALMOST $1k, and it includes the shipping this time. If the intake is $600 (plus s&h) a $1k bumper seems reasonable enough

    This is exactly what happened to my front lip, but I hit a bridge transition and it shattered. I think you demonstrated my point precisely.

    It was definitely an option to have, and there were several altezza digital gauges. Not in the IS300 though.

    Just give it time you'll come around and like the bumper. Remember who's had your back through the carbon hood phase :D

    Therefore it should be cheaper. lolz
    I don't want to be mean but if I spent $1000 on a bumper that looked like that I would be pissed to the max.

    Here are some pics I took at work on an even worse camera. The car is definitely dirty, and I haven't used the front wheel spacers in a while.

    Because in all your other pictures with "HDR," you try so hard that it ruins the photo, ironically though with your "crappy camera," you manage to take the best pictures you ever have before.

    Roach, it seems to look better from far away, and in the dark. haha.

    here's an after/before.... almost exactly the same photo, I just happened to notice that they are the same an hour ago.

    It is growing on me... right now I'm keeping it, we'll see. I did find someone who is willing to ship an OEM bumper already painted my color for $250.

    1000 for the bumper is cheap compared to the parts for the newer IS's. :(
