Default Wanted: 05 Silverstone front bumper (SoCal/OC only)

Hi Socal'ers. I need a 05 Silverstone front bumper. I will trade my current front bumper with Varis air duct for yours + $100.

This bumper has it's usual chips front highway driving but nothing noticeable unless you are closeup and looking for it. Yes, there are dealer plate holes but they are plugged up with color matching plugs.

Bonus!: Included is the 'chrome strip door moulding grill' It's teh HAWTNESS!! You can take them off if you want.

I am down in Irvine and we can swap at my place or yours.







^^^I hope THE_TECH doesn't mind me using his pictures that he took of my car but I have have to give credit to him.

I haven't had any issue (or heard of any) with water getting into the popcharger. Unless you are shooting a hose directly into the duct at bumper level, you wouldn't have to worry.

Fitment should not be an issue... the only reason why I specify 05 is because some of the 03's and 04's I've seen have a different shade to them possibly from being painted in different factory or they ran out of the SS and got another color similar.

To give an example, THE_TECH's Z (the left of my Z in the pic) is also SS but a lighter version, his is 03.

04.5 might be the same but I wouldn't know unless we meet up and park side by side to find out.

**Answer a few common questions I've been getting**
1. The duct is ~4 months old and installed it 3 months ago, the track pic is the week I put it on
2. I did not use the supplied Varis screws but got my own at Lowes so I would not have to sand the holes out. The screws are secured by nylock nuts so you have to get a socket and philips to take it off.
3. YES it is a genuine VARIS
