Most likely the original got damaged, I think OP should find the Original IX bumper though.

Same here. Nice car but the previous owner put a ricer gauge set up in it. Clean it up and it will be perfect.

the previous owner swapped to the 8 bumper, i really like the 9 but the 8 has really grown on me these last two weeks, yeah the gauges are going to be gone soon, going for an stri or defi set-up. short antenna is in the mail as an xmas gift from my gf's mom lol. otherwise id had bought it. fuel pump and synapse bov is coming next month along with new plugs. by march i hope to either have cams and a tune or injectors, injen intake kit, gauges, e85 tune. im really torn between the two options. i also hate hood pins but they prolly wont be gone till summer time, replacing to a cf oem hood

good start bro...i'd stick with an oem hood. you won't have to worry about fitment, fading, or any other issues. but to each his own...keep up with the maintenance and she'll last.

Toss a couple Viagra in the tank at next fill. It will straighten that antenna right up.
