    It's very rice, and the lack of repairability makes it even worse. After all, a stock setup wouldn't have been noticeably damaged by the hit that did all that damage.

      well i agree with the stock setup wouldn't have been as noticeable from damage yes, but rice? i don't think it's rice, it's a stock IS lip and brake ducts molded without fogs lol

              As much as I don't like they way European people rice out their car with the hood/fender molding, yours actually looks pretty good. Not exaggerated at all.

              Good job.
              Good luck with the swap!

                  I think the valence looks kind of cheap/unfinished. Not meant to hate at all, just being honest.

                  Anyway, good luck on the S50 swap. I just picked up my own S50 yesterday am getting to get my swap underway. :up:
