Which Bumper is Which??
So now that I know what the rear spoiler is going to look like, the only outstanding question I still have is which bumper goes on the Sport model?
IMO, I would guess that the sport bumper is the one on the left. What do you guys think? Kenny (da mayor), do you happen to know which is which?

One of the things I liked about the 05/06 sedan over the 03/04 was the coupe-type front bumper. However, I'm still not satisfied with the stock bumper. The ducts are practically flush with the rest of the bumper, unlike the coupe's bumper which features a greater degree of recess.
To me, the bumper on the left looks to much like the current 05/06 stock bumper. It's meaner, yes, and definitely an improvement. But I just love the massive overhang of the bumper on the right.
In fact, the bumper first-gen bumper is the biggest fault in it's style IMO. I'd love to go with an aftermarket bumper, but there are so few options for the 05/06, and frankly, most of the aftermarket bumpers are too rice. The one's that aren't too rice are too VIP(whatever the hell that's supposed to mean). I think the bumper on the right is a good compromise.
Sorry for the dissertation.

I just checked Shane, and even on the '06 you have to have the Sport to get the Aero package with the spoiler, guess that's why the aftermarket spoiler is so popular an option with the dealer.
