Ok heres my car finally back frm the body shop. Before i get flamed for the bumper, it wasnt my choice, but its growing on me, almost as big a the hole in the middle of it. but w/e comments appreciated, also im looking for some black tails and a carbon spoiler, or at least insert to keep the whole cf thing going. ThankS!!

What do you mean you didn't choose the bumper? It's too aggressive for the sideskirts IMO. Maybe too aggressive for the whole car. I like your wheels though, 02/03 stockies, yeah!

Can't say I'm a fan, as eehjay already pointed out the front bumper is way too aggressive for the car and the side skirts just look too bulky.

Time for new wheels! Love those headlights, really looks better than stock. (fill the gaping hole with an intercooler! )

This was an insurance bout, the car was supposed to look just like the before pic, but w cf hood. Unfortuantely no-one here in my wonderful hick community understands imports so the body shop ordered the wrong crp like 15 times. In short the body shop bought , in thier own words, just an aftermarket bumpercover and a fiber hood. The first kit was on the car when i got it, i believe its an accolade evo 8 kit. I really like the look of it then my camrea phone jst didnt do i t justice.

I usually don't like bumpers like that but it kinda follows the curves of the car I think. It'd look terrible on an 02/03 model but on yours it looks decent

Yep definately walker front bumper. Im not sure what to do, i might source out some new skirts and rear, the back has a couple cracks where the people before me drug thier tip...and the sides have some deep black gouges from my first day with a cast on my broken foot. I wish i still had the horns slvr0z, but my buddy put em back on his ranger lol. Thanks for the comments everyone!
