that's a happy looking car!! do you think that is the new r3 ms front, but modified with a bigger opening, or is that how it is normally? i'll stick with my ms bumper, thank you.

Modified R3. Lower corners are different and they removed the 'stache in the center. Hard to tell if they actually made the openings any larger, but if they did it wasn't by much.

Looks more like a radiator due to the intercooler popping out from the hood vents. VMIC instead of FMIC ftw.
