Default Call me a ricer, I don't care~ ;)

I needed more front openings for time attack races.. So, I got this Weber sports knock off bumper.
I'm not trying to be a GTR35 poser, I just needed more air!!!
Anyway... It fits pretty good. Now, off to a paint shop...

That's what I said...are you on a speedway track or something where the car is constantly at high rpm at a high rate of speed?

Great fitment by the way...now it's really down to how you paint it that holds this in the balance...

I too loved your old setup...

Yes--> "Time attack races" in a 100+F temp weather = I need more air..

I didn't get rid of it.. I'm going to use this Weber sports knock off for the time attack race only.. But then.. I might get lazy and just leave this bumper on several months after the race.. HAHAHA~

I'm sure there was something that could have been done using your old front bumper to get more air.

You might not believe it, but this knock off bumper was actually already in Korea!! So, less work for me to bring in a bumper from Japan...

Yeah, but I didn't want to jack up the purty Amuse bumper..
