| Picsssss, I didn't really think I'd like it when you said which one you picked, but then you showed the pic of it pained and I thought it looked good. | |

| Ishaq, I know something is missing, especially from the pic looking down (that's why I took that pic). I think it is missing some kind of horizontal line or groove dividing the black and the blue... like there is on the side, or like there would be if I installed a lip on the OEM bumper.
My first idea before I even installed it was to cut out the fins and smooth out the black section, but now I see the bottom is just too wide and ugly. Oh well, a $1000 mistake lol. Plan B! | |

| yeah, that's the same bumper, but it's got the optional carbon-fiber diffuser underneath (that's what the fins are for). The general consensus (and I agree) is that looks even uglier. You might have gotten the best shot of it LOL! | |

Haha I was gonna suggest getting rid of the fins.... Personally, I think that's what makes it look funny, I think I'd like it better without them. But what's plan B? | |

| Yeah, but once I installed it, I saw how extra wide the bottom was, and you can see the bottom corners jut out. I've been looking at it ever since trying to figure it out, but I've reverted back to plan B, I would want to sell this bumper without damaging it. Plan B.... go back to stock bumper and install the right lip and side skirts (carbon fiber), as shown in these pictures (without all the drifting though lol  )    and I'll paint the lips of course. | |

| Ahh I like the look of the lips much better I think. And the pics give a good visual since the car is the same colour as yours. | |

| In my opinion, I think your previous bumper looked real good compared to these. It looks just right without going overboard. The Chargespeed is a bit strange and the one with the lip just looks too simple (maybe b/c its not painted in that one pic). :/ | |

| It does look simple, that's why I love it. But, I think in combination with my wheels and tail lights, it wouldn't look too simple, especially painted. I've found another rear bumper already painted that I can get, I don't know. | |
