So if I'm an idiot, do it?
I find it funny that it had 300 views and maybe 1 person noticed the difference before I posted the before picture.
I have never been a fan of the bumperettes.

OP - The first one looks a tad bit plain. But if you were to add a front chin spoiler, that might spice it up and it'll look a lot better.
The second one looks aggressive as it is. Add a chin spoiler and it'll look more aggressive. It'll come down to your personal taste.
Hope this helps

actually i was correct, they are the same pics, he photoshopped out the bumperets, which makes it look C6 ish. It was presented that he actually did something to the car, which is not the case...
The change is so subtle that no one notices ( even after looking for it ) and i guess no one cares either...

It makes so little difference that it doesn't matter. Money wasted, IMO. And playing with the membership here is just silly. If people here aren't picking up on his minor tweak, there's your answer right there.

Not playing with the membership here. Every time I walk by the front of my car I picture it without the bumperettes. I was looking for opinions on it. Isn't that what forums are all about? Geez.
Minor, maybe but I thought it to be major. It would not be an easy change and there are no "bolt on" parts for this. All said and done I suspect it would be a couple thousand dollars to modify it and have it look good as in not bondo'd.
And yes actually the fact almost no one picked up on it so it would be subtle but certainly different. It's funny how after posting the original picture everyone hated it but they didn't even notice it before LOL.
There is so little that I don't like about the car that it leaves almost nothing to change/customize. I don't like the bumperettes though.
