That's too bad blackjack I really really REALLY liked your mod. Does that mean right now your 8 will have a different bumper? You are not going to stick to the RE Amemiya front bumper, right? How did you crash it?

EDIT: what rear bumper do you have on?

oh man! That really sucks! I like that rear piece! I was thinking of adding that rear piece to my rear bumper and then putting up RE Amemiya's side diffuser, but now I cannot have the rear piece - crap! Do you know any other places where I can get my hands on one? Oh and would it be ok if you get some close-up shots of the rear piece? As soon as your car is all fixed up of course. Thank you in advance !

Here's mine. The first picture is when the car was just 3 days old waiting for the tint job.

The second photo I just took this morning. 5.1.07. I'm sure it won't stay looking like this too long.

My car club Europrojektz is sponsored by DTM Autobody so I got a sponsor-rate eventhough it's not the car that's sponsored cause they're cool like that.

Retail for full color-change using non-metallic paint is $5,000
I bought the front bumper from them, but not sure where they got it from, but it's a replica and not original. It fits perfect because they probably shaved or added to the bumper to make it fit like that. I had a replica before this one that didn't fit good at all and changed it after it broke from bottoming out.

I actually wanted to have the bottom painted black, but they forgot, I just need to find the time to take it back in, they said they'd do it for free since it was their mistake.
