Hey there, sharpshooter. Those are stock European/ROW bumpers. You know, the ones that were designed to fit the front of the car, instead of a style-free slab of aluminum and rubber put there to meet US specs.

Hey, your pretty "sharp" yourself!

I realized that, having seen them before.

Although they look better than US, IMHO I don't like either!

Bumpers are for people who don't know how to drive! (I think, since I've never used one, except in D-Derby )

I meant that I don't have a problem with the stock style lights, AT ALL!

If anything, I would want to change, alter, or just plain remove the stock style bumper (at least the US-spec version on my car). So take it easy there Turbo!

I heard someone mention (maybe Joe?) something about "pushing the bumpers in". I think that would look alright. Much better than hanging out like they do. How is this done?

Thanks for the link jpab924, but the photos were gone. Does anyone have any good photos of this done, front and back?
