Default 2006 front and Chargespeed replica rear on 2004
Wanted to change the look on my 2004.5. I'm adding an 2006 OEM front bumper and a VIS Racing Chargespeed replica rear bumper.

I'm installing all the components from my original bumpers before getting them painted. The rear is a pretty good fit but will need adjustments.

I also decided to go with LED's in the reflectors. The front facing LED's will be my DRL and the side amber LED's will be tied in with my signals.

Do yourself a favor and don't get the bumpers painted like that. You're just asking for problems.

He's refering to having the bumpers painted with the components installed and I agree. Could be a headache waiting to happen.

I am just test fitting all the parts and drilling new mounting holes because they don't line up. They will all be removed before painting.

IMO,some body components don't work the same on a roadster vs a coupe.
The problem is the top.The angle of the rear of the top ruins the original
350 design.It just does'nt flow.Suggest adding some conservative skirts to
compliment your rear bumper.Shine SPEC-S skirts look great on the roadster.
Also,lowers the look of your car.

I'm planning on side skirts and lip in the near future. I was thinking of chargespeed skirts and maybe Stillen lip. I'll check out the SPEC-S also.

Looks good. I absolutely love the Chargespeed rear. Its my next mod.

Also, funny how everyone used to hate on the people who would put LEDs in the front reflector and call it ricey, but the new 370 will have them standard. These look well done.

Nice car.
