I'd say burnout...

I'm not sure if it's just the official MS "black bar" that makes it look better, but I don't generally like the look of the replicas for some reason.

I would go with the burnout kit ONLY because your ms is replica. If it was authentic MS all the ******* way. But fitment issues and deep down inside you just know its not authentic. Kind of an OCD thing liek you mentioned lol.

Why would you do an MS replica? Just get the real thing.

^I'd rather hit a cone with a replica kit than I would for the authentic MS kit, to much $$ to have a cone mess it up. I already got a nice black touch-up on the right of my bumper, had to make a cone yield for me one run. It didn't realize I had the right of way..

But if you're going for show, yeah, go authentic.

Seeing that MS there with the little cf things on the sides of it made me wonder.. I wonder how an MS front would look, with some sort of lip to it. Possibly sweet, or possibly retarded as hell, hmm..

I wish I were better with PS, or I'd do something about it.

I like both though, but I feel like there's just too many openings with the Burnout kit on the front. I'd say MS.

The authentic bumper will take MASSIVE amounts of impact before it is damaged. It is made out of way better material than the replicas.
I nail cones with mine constantly. And berms. Occasionally walls. lol

I've hit a couple cones, no damage, but I basically painted a section of my front bumper black. I've tried washing, waxing, clay barring, it's just as smooth as glass, only black there.

Should've just taped the corners with some masking tape. Ah well.

My vote is for the OEM+burnout lip. Love the rotary accent, and i think it would look great with the badge removed.

if not then go with the burnout lip. or find a different lip if you are tired of the burnout lip!

IMHO.. car looks sick even if you take the bumper out and throw it in the dumpster.. With that said, Id go for the MS look even though is a fake.. As long as fitting is right. Hell I have one. Do you know how many people that have seen my car asked me if its a replica? 000.000 NONE.. to busy looking at the turbo.. Your car is SICK Atila.. don't matter what you throw at it, it will still look sick.. Love the car, keep up the great work. MS vote here, But who cares.. lol

Found a pic of one with the MS kit, with some form of a splitter! Just the side ones though.

"halimsteven"s car, found it in the Calling all VR's thread, page 118.

See, I can quote my sources still.
