there you go bro
 
Yeah, that rear bumper is uggerly, I'm not a fan of the trunk spoiler either...

The sides and front are sweet though. The rerar bumper looks good from the side, but from the back, those big square cut-outs are just weird.
 
i love how he asks where to buy it from.. but no one answers haha. www.corksport.com but beware, u need to modify the rear bumper if u want that rear to kit correctly. good luck - chris
 
That white one has the Type 2 rear .... I have the Type 1. If you get the MB kit you will need to do 1 of 2 things to get the rear piece to fit.

1. Cut it apart and re-fiberglass it to fit the US rear bumper

or

2. Go the way I did .... import the real JDM rear bumper and support brackets so the MB piece bolts right up :)

You can see the JDM rear vs the US rear plus some more pics of the Type 1 HERE

that other bumper is fugly too. it looks like the damn onderground s***, only with a little better molding. why cant anyone make a decent ass end for our cars? unless its because our cars dont need bodykits and silly ten foot high spoilers. :rolleyes:

I dunno but the vents on the OG kit are HUGE compared to the MB ones .. plus the OG kit adds that extra body line and lip to the bottom of the bumper towards the sides

thats what i was referring to about the molding. but still essentially the same design.
 
hmm, gotta disagree matt, ths skinnier vents are so much more cleaner in my own opinion. i think the MB one looks coo, OD just looks horrible.... i think though with the type 1 rear and a little molding to get ride of the line between the euro bumper and MB lip, it would look hella clean

just my opinion, to each there own
 
Type 2 rear rules :D and yes the front is so lovely:

BTW Mintblue will be coming out with a U.S. spec rear very soon. Price will be $435 :eek:
 
i can see what matt is saying and i agree. IN GENERAL, the rear looks the same, but not fully. OG just copied MB and did a bad job, thats all. same with the grill, they copied AE and did a bad job... and they copied WW with that horrible hood vent crap. idk. hope u can find a site dude. peace - chris
