beautiful FD...you really had to stuff that intercooler up in there. You can the little ripples of teh bumper from where you had to trim it away.

I would say SSR's look the best.

Actually they are not ripples. On FD's there is a rotary simbol on the bumper mouth. That's what looks like a ripple. That the part that took me the longest to get right. I had to trim the bumper little by little just to get a perffect flush mount look.

i heard its actually functional and someone showed me how and it makes sense

if you look at an fds bumper youll notice the dip slants upwards and right into the intake diverter that feeds into the box that splits up air between the intercooler and intake.

actually the color of that FD Tornado Red. The preveious owner had painted that way 2 month before I got it. It was a little barked than VR which added more depth to the paint.

I remember reading about the dip on the bumper also now that yopu mention it.

X-PED, during this cruise low maybe you could post some videos of past cruises up? PLEASE! I know others would like to have them as well. www.savefile.com allows up to 60 mg uploads and it is free of charge. How about? Maybe you know of a better distribution method.

I know that, it would be cool if he could join us once in awhile. Must be really busy with school..

Dan is the founder of the "Malibu Cruz".
