Have you thought about just painting the tow hook area black? Ive heard of several other people doing that when they cant cover it up, anymore.

I might be making this up, but I vaguely remember someone removing the center square portion and then reinforcing the center bar from behind somehow. I don't remember whether they used a metal rod or what. But I think leaving the square painted flat black might look decent, as an alternative.

Yes, and that's what I'd do if my car was any other color than black. I want to give it the contrasting look that the gunmetal grill will achieve but NOT with a black box in the middle of the mesh. In the pic that I posted the drive way is a contrasting color to the bumper and that black box sticks out like a sore thumb imo. I just don't like it, but..... at the same time I don't want that center bar sagging down making it look like a freaking smiley face.

just installed my aerosync but no longer have my undershroud. Was considering just buy the front half of the z speed aluminum undershround for more support under the bumper. The bumper tends to get pulled down at high speeds. My car is super low also so I hit everything.

Does anyone have the z speed aluminum undershround installed or made one for more support.

I have the Z speed under tray connected to my Aerosync and it is rock solid. It helps firm it up alot.

Alright cool. My roommate has it on his stock bumper and he told me all I would really need is the front half. He is also lowered and said he destroyed the back piece.

Default Where can you buy this?

I know I'm mad late to the party.. but does anyone know where you can buy this bumper? I keep seeing a lot of old threads with Gruppe-s but their page is no longer active.
