Just as long as you don't start redundant new threads discussing old topics that could be posted in previous threads...that's fine by me.

thx 07c63amg...but it's not coming along great....it's been done for 14 months already...LOL LOL

in between I went through 2 sets of tail lights, 2 sets of wheels (Carlsson gone, DCR now gone), rebadged the car with Carlsson emblem, coilover, pulley kit, ecu, etc etc. LOL

I'm sure you've seen my BBS thread...with the car in it's current state

I forgot exactly how much since I bought everything together. I think the front by itself was $1400-1500 ish retail and the foglights were $500 ish.

ground clearance is very good with this bumper even with at no finger gap on the 19" which at one point my car was like that. I never scraped this bumper.
