I think even that would have been better that what's on that car now
although the crappy bumper on it does kind of fit the overall theme of the car

@Jedi54 Saw my folding bumper at SS27, and while fitment isn't perfect its still pretty good and I was even able to remove the bumper, clean my MAF, and reinstall on the car in just a couple of minutes when I arrived. It definitely looked far better than any duraflex or other cheap garbage, and is a nice compromise losing some the sweet fitment of a lot of nice kits like Shine or other japanese kits for durability. Hit -anything- with one of those nice kits and youre going straight to the body shop. I barely get to enjoy my car with these gas prices, I dont have time or money to be in the body shop all the time. Before you know it, my 8 will be as make believe as some of the forum admins

Kinda dumb, but I was helping one of my buddies with his FC and his Walmart everstart literally cranked like 30times in a row without quitting.

I tried those Antigrav batteries, but they are such a headache. One already died on me after a year because apparently they cant be left out when its under 40degF outside.
