Guys thank you for all the compliments. To answer a few questions. The bumper is a Hippo Sleek Bumper from Japan. There are none available in the US, so you have to import it over. As for the IC, the slant has to do with the piping. To make the IC straight you would have to put angles in the IC piping near the intercooler. That would resist flow, so the intercooler is a hair slanted. Heck, still looks good to me.

Looks great to me! I bet the slant doesn't hurt air flow through it and helps with aerodynamics!
