Unfortunately, it doesn't match up if you have the tech pack. The ICC Sensor is in a slightly different location.
Ooops, my bad.

Nah, it's solid too. No vents on the sport either.

Wrong...
You have a sport with solid frontt corners?

My friends S has real vents, not simulated.

I'm the one who owns the sport and you're going to say I'm wrong?

The bumper splitters are non functional and solid.

are those vents molded to the plastic or are they fixed on with click tabs or whatever, meaning they can be popped off?

They are fixed to the bumper, therefore they CANNOT be popped off.

By looking at them several times, I would have bet a nut.
Good thing I didn't!

Nice work on drilling those holes. I am def looking into drilling my own holes on the lower front end bumper. So what exactly did you do?

Yup, they are molded in. The only way to get them off is to cut them out.

@ Tekieru: I just drilled those holes while the bumper is still on the car. 0 problem. However, you have to be careful and got a steady hands. Don't drill or scratch the paint on your bumper

Just drilled my holes. They look fine. One problem though, water is leaking out of my right side bumper.
