Default Has anyone installed this bumper?

I haven't done a mod to my GS in over a year and I was looking to change it up a bit. Has anyone tried this front bumper? The only thing I dislike is that there aren't fogs available for it...

there was a recent thread discussing this exact bumper. I think the consensus was it looks good if the fitment is good (but who knows without someone taking one for the team) and also the lack of bumper cutouts for parking sensors/headlight washers is a concern.

I don't really understand what the issue is. This is not fiberglass. It should be quite simple to take a rotary or step-bits and cut-out perfect slots for the sensors and washers. Right....? lol

EDIT: Oh I see... the front two parking sensors... eh... 3M tape? LOL

You can drill the holes in that black plastic bar behind the grill for the front 2 parking sensors.

Eddie this mod is all you, let's make it happen, but first let's focuse on the dynamic cruise control and HUD mods

Which steering wheel did you get? My steering wheel upgrade was one of the best mods I've done.

I got a CF one from Josh at DCTMS. He posts in the vendor forums quite a bit. I'll be posting pics once I put the dash and cluster gauge back together. Doing a lot of work on the car at the moment.
