Far less to paint than a whole bumper.
Word I was just saying. .I dont think my H/E would of fit behind the stock bumper.It barely fits behind the SSNA bumper lol.It took alot of persuasion to get it back there lol

The SS bumpers are the only ones that actually look decent everything afrtemarket fits and looks like ****

Not always, if done by a reputable body shop. There is obviously no way to beat OEM quality, but not everything aftermarket looks and fits like ****. If you are buying off eBay and having Macco do your body work and paint then yes.

Sure.. Fitment might be fixable, but you can't fix ugly.

I like it to, but it's got the price tag like it belongs on a vette. Not the best marketing research.

just because i have 4 doors doesnt mean i dont have potential. i could get the front lip and side skirts but then my ass end would be plain, because there is no rear lip for sedans. it really pisses me off

I love that G5 rear lip from RK sport, Ill probably get that with SS sideskirts and the JP Vizage front lip for xmas. Im already saving for those, its going to look amazing I think.
