Simply beautiful... first one I've seen on BS - I've been back and forth with this and now I know this is definitely the bumper I have to get - do you have the factory splash guards as well? I'm contemplating on whether I should keep the f/r splash guards or replace the front ones with the ING +1 sideskirts...
the only difference is that I'm going to paint the insides of the inlets black and get a Gialla Grille...

TYPE-N FRONT BUMPER
Here is what you see w/o the OEM center piece:
And here is what it looks like from the back:
Notice how you can't get to the hook. You'd have to have the body shop cut a hole for the hook if you wanted to access it.
