leave it standard, before i had the tech 2 i always wanted a kit, now after a while im bored and want to go back to standard bumpers, which i will when i get the paint done.

car goods good the way it is.

look up some pics.. decide for yourself.. :wink:

I think you should run no bumper at all.. instead just strap two pillows to the ends of the chassis rails..

Tech 2 ok especially on a genuine sport but too predictable on a modded car. Leave as is.

Thanks for the feedback so far guys. My personal preference is also keeping it standard bumper.

it looks mint because i did the paint correction and detailing on it :D

its decent and 100 times better than it was when i got my hands on it, but a respray is what the guy wants to make it perfect
