I LOVE the look of the TS bumper WITHOUT the chin spoiler. And I do mean LOVE. I'd do naughty things to it if I could ever afford one..

Not to mention, combine the chinless bumper with that custom carbon fiber spoiler made by one of the guys here, and you have something quite wicked.

I vote with... I think it brings the front end down in the front giving it more of a lower look... Again just my own opinion....

With the chin spoiler, don't even think of lowering...even on stock bolts. Unless you don't mind scraping.
