No, I'm keepoing the stock rear diffuser (sp?). I don't like any other the aftermarker rear bumpers/diffusers that any of the companies have released. I am totally happy with the stock rear.. besides, it matches the lines of the MS kit very well.. that and I like the rotary accent on the rear and the 'wire mesh' look

I'm not quire sure what you mean by front bar in front? You'll have to explain a bit more.

**EDIT** Oh.... I think I know what you mean now.. you're talking about the black plastic in front of the wire mesh. I think it is removable. I'm going to look into that in a little bit. I think it's there in case you want to connect a front license plate. If I can remove it, I will. **EDIT**

That front black plastic thingie is to cover the styrofoam piece from the crash bar (US spec only).. it is removable, but the grill would have to be replaced as well since it only comes up to that piece...there would be a huge gap if you take it off and the white styrofoam will show and look tacky.. some people tried to paint it, but.. doesn't look quite right... some people remove it completely.. not safe IMO...

haha, i took out the styrofoam peice anyhow.. along with the black plastic box that covers the stock intake hose system. blocks too much airflow... by the way.. the stock oil cooler air flow guids are pretty heavy.. they are made out of pretty thick rubber, not plastic

Looks great!

It really shows the intercooler more than the stock front end.

I thought you were keeping it off for the winter? Just couldn't wait for spring huh?

All together I am shooting for 3-5 gauges. That's all dependant on if I can find the right style of gauge pods. I am using the Defi-Link Meter BF series gauges. All with white display. http://www.defi-shop.com/product/bf/bf_top.html

These three at a minimum to be put center dash:
Boost
Exhaust Gas Temp
Fuel Pressure

These last two if I can find a reasonably priced gauge pod for the cigarette lighter spot:
Air/Fuel
Oil Temp
