Yeah, okay...I grew up around too many biker gangs But I used to tell my teachers FTW was "Fight to Win"



So, is this bumper cover an aftermarket glass or OEM plastic (flexible) piece? If OEM what can be used to fill/fix those without being brittle and breaking apart the first time it's touched?

I vote for no letters with the smooth look, but I could go either way. Also, the LED lights look very different and could turn out great, but I would prefer the stock foglights myself (with an HID kit of course).

Is that the greenwood kit, plus hood vents, rise, and other goodies? Looks much nicer on your car with the color scheme then on their website.
