Driifter d, just wanted to correct you on what front bumper this is: it's an Extreme Dimensions competition front bumper.

So it is an REW using renesis throttle and intake manifold... unless my eyes are deceiving me. I'm guessing they are retaining the drive-by-wire, ABS, TCS/DCS, etc. with that Electromotive Tec3 stand-alone?

you're right on the kit above. however, i responded to dan-o-mite's question. he attached a pic of the blue 8 in his post. the front bumper on that kit is the Carisma Autotec Air Force One kit.
