Got my bumper back on, and lowered her about an inch more. If I go any lower my muffler will scrape on the speed bumps lol Here's the rest of the pictures I took tonight:

Some douche bag backed into mine and dented/cracked the front bumper next to the grill. It's not bad but annoys me all the same

They painted the mesh red? Looks horrible man. You need to do something about that crash bar too. Oh and those horns are lame Subie ****. So close, yest so far. Personally I just don't think the bumper flows with the side skirts at all maybe that is what sticks out.

Did they at least mask off the stuff behind the bumper, or is everything in there just terrible over spray red?

Devil Pup, I took the bumper off and gave it to them. I assumed they would mask over the grill (A little bit of tape, it would take like 5 minutes). Instead the painted the whole damn thing and it took me probably 4 hours to mask the whole bumper and paint the grill. It was glued on so I couldn't just take the grill off and paint it separate. But it's back to black and that's what matters I guess.

What wheels are on that S2? I'm hoping they're the real deal, all I keep seeing is replicas and I really like that style...

Re-amemiya actually make 2 S2 bumpers which retro-fitted the S1. One which used the oem S2 grill and a second with their RE-A grill. Pay close attention to the fender and bumper connection point. This will be hopefully be my new setup next spring.


Using OEM Grill


Using RE-A Grill



All of the front bumpers from re-amemiya is OEM fitment, no trimming or adjustment needed.

I think this previous VR is the only one I've seen taking a S2 bumper, cutting it and molding it and also modifying the S1 fenders to fit. Maybe its the angle of the pic, but the connecting points between the fender and the bumper is a bit off.

Look great from far tho.

That bumper would actually look pretty nice if it didn't have that double lip. Haha
