I live about 20 miles south of omaha. I know there are a couple of nice g coupes in omaha but I haven't seen any badass sedans around, which is what I'm trying to fix

I really want the oem grill too, I'm just unsure of how much work it will take to fit like I want it to. I know I need a wash, but I live in Nebraska and it's hard to keep a black car clean

Thanks, and that's exactly why I want to put my oem grill on it. The coupe's K2 integrated grill is flush with the hood and it looks alright, although I still like the oem grill better

Thanks, and distance shots are coming soon!

Thanks, and I think I'm gonna do it. I went and bought a car wash, but the damn thing is broken I might just use some meguires quick detailer to clean the front end up though

I actually filed the fiberglass down and got them to fit in, but one side was so thin it broke. The stock bumper has metal brackets that hold the side marker lights and are riveted in. I just drilled them out and then modified them to fit to my K2. The side marker lights fit much better this way and are a lot more solid. I know I could make the oem grill work, but I don't think it's gonna be easy.

Yea I just threw these pics up because there is a lot of interest in the K2 since strafe finished them. I bought the first one and the only other pics are from strafe. I stated above that I would be updating as I progress so I will get some more pics up soon.

I agree, I don't like it there. I got a fix it ticket so I just threw it up for now. Still haven't decided on where to put it...

it might have been said already - but re-size the pics... I scrolled right by most of them because they are too big to even appreciate the bumper... those pics arent doing anything to draw proper attention...

Cracks are not in the fiberglass, they are in the primer. I have taking the bumper on and off so many times to re work it
