Ordered AutoExe Front Bumper

[ophten]

I really do love the way that bumper looks, as everyone else, with the exception of the license place holder protruding. You'd think two small flush mounting holes for a *gasp* flush mounting bracket (like the one that came with your car) wouldn't be too difficult.

I do kind of miss the flying wing. I don't suppose its built in a such a way that could could keep the wing mounted in the top vent?

That looks great! Hope the intake doesn't drown when it rains..

opeing semas liek it better wuited for a fmic and well the liscense thing i woudl shave it!!!

+5 for being the first i kow of for having one!!!

I think it looks pretty sweet, and that deep intake would look even better with a front mount intercooler peering through....

Not sure if Im getting it painted since I might not have my car for much longer. If my car is lemoned then Ill most likely get black or white, I do like my color but I wont want the same color again...

But even if it is black (mica) then you'll still have an offset of colors between a solid black to a black with specs in the sunlight.

That would look real bad ass with a FMIC to match it though hehe

Lol god Im not saying I would keep it as is if I had a black car. Im saying I dont want to get it painted cosmic blue and then get a black mica and have to get it painted again....

As for the front mount, I was peicing one together, I have all the pipes, silicone, t bolt clamps... I was planning on buying the core from Ets on a monday (june 25th) but my motor dropped on the 24th so that really changed my mind on that. I agree though that would look really bad ass!!! It is planned if I decide to keep a ms3 in the garage..

Have you noticed any difference with your intake/power since there is a more direct airflow?

I havent felt any difference.... NONE lol, no really though I havent noticed anything except how paranoid I am driving up and down into parking lots.

For everyone else, If I keep the bumper I might shave the front plate mount, Im very handy with fiberglassing so it really wouldnt be too big of a problem, just more time than anything. It is an expensive bumper though so I might just keep it As Is for values sake...

I say shave it. You could probably even save the mount and figure out a way to remount via screws if you absolutely had to.

+1 on shaving off the plate mount. I think that bumper would look great on black mica.

someone should photoshop the colors of the ms3 with that bumper
