That front bumper is functional for proper air flow.

 

I already had that bumper on my last G, there are many more bumpers that would be functional with proper AF

 

First one without a doubt, just change the front bumper

 

Work the price down on the IP, its a better car. 2 yrs newer and less miles.

 

OPTION 2 !!!

Super clean. Super sleeper.

 

I also have this bumper on my turbo G. I added the mesh grille insert for a cleaner look.

 

#2 hands down. newer model, more features, better resale value, only around 30 ponies less and..... ask yourself this.... "are you seriously NOT going to spend another 5000$ on the car after you get it?"

I think you will.... so you might as well spend it upfront for a much better car. Black is Black... but if the colors were swapped, everyone would go for the 07. for around 3000$, you can change your color... but you will not get the same features as the 07 on an 05.

my 2 cents

 

lol why did u bump the thread

 

I had to support our IPs!!!!! Plus option 2 in MY opinion was a better investment with more potential returns in performance and looks

 

true lol

 

I vote option 1.

 

Yes, but the issue is no longer relevant. The thread is 6 months old, if the OP was looking o make a decision he would have done it a long time ago.
