alright!
So I bought an SS/NA rear bumper and my new wheels today. Gonna go pick them up monday

Should I put the fascia on asap or should I wait til I put my sportlines back on after winter?

lool thanks!

I like subtlety. I'm not all about the huge Fast and the Furious body kits with crazy spoilers and hoods. I like how it's clean cut and simple.

Yeah it's a bit too rice-ey imo, but I just wanted to know if I can change the shifter of an automatic from an aesthetic point of view.
