              Looking great, chrome kidneys do look better on your car but is IS BEGGING for a bumper tuck.

                  The front spoiler would then be flush with the bumper and look badass.

                  Sold it.

                        The rear bumper is a piece of cake and it tucks nicely. The front is going to take more work, but nothing unreasonable. DO IT. ;)

                            tuck the rear, but not the front. the front spoiler will look out of place and goofy imho.

                            either way your car will be hot though. very nice looking car man.

                              you ever think about repainting your bumper trim the same color too, instead of the faded black. Thatd look awsome.
