    I'm getting rid of the replica front end I have on my car. I hate fiberglass and the crappyness of it when you hit a small animal or scrub it. Going back to OEM.

    So what do you guys think of this look? OEM front bumper with a Polyurethane front lip that few if any people have? I want the JDM fogs but dunno if I can get them to work with my Perrin FMIC.

    it's clean....I like it

    Trey had the FMIC and JDM foglamps on his 04 with no issues...I'm not sure which FMIC he had though.

    Very WRC-ish. I like it. If I had the money, I would possible get that front end. Lots cheaper than the WRC Burn-up Kit I want.

    If I get this I don't think the JDM fogs will work :( I have the Perrin FMIC and no one has confirmed fitment. Only confirmed fitments is the ebay FMIC and the TurboXS FMIC.

    Well guys it's official.

    I got rid of a bunch of OEM stuff and was able to make enough money to completely do my front end.

    I have the EDM lip ordered. I have the JDM fogs ordered and on the way now. The car will look like this.

    Crap......the EDM lip is gonna cost $450 to ship from Europe. NEGATIVE.

    I'm probably getting the Cusco GT lip. Oh and I have a set of Aspen White JDM fogs sitting at the house :dirrty:

    EDM lip interesting, still like the v-limited lip look quite a bit

    The EDM lip is hot but I'm not paying close to $1000 for that shipped.

    The Cusco lip is hard to find....no one has one in stock :(

    Crap.....V-limited is looking better and better.

    They want too much for it. I could get it for $360 shipped but I don't want to wait 2-3 months.

    I've already order the STi splitters and a polyurethane vlimited lip. I thought long and hard and I'm sick of dumping all that money on fixing front lips so I am ending up with something that is cheap, looks good, and will last.

    Sounds good.. What are you doing with the replica bumper?

    Gonna fix the small pits and cracks in it (I can professionally do fiberglass) and I will sell it for dirt cheap since it will need to be sanded and painted.

    Well my new look is on. Got a TurboXS FMIC and factory front bumper. Sti splitters with a vlim lip and *GASP* JDM fogs!

    Car never looked better and my exterior is 100% done except maybe a light smoking of the rear tail lights.

    Car is filthy dirty now and it's been raining for 2 days. Soon as I can get her washed and cleaned I'll snap some pics.
