That looks good! I agree about the '06 front lip. It looks way too tacked on for my taste. I'd leave it stock or go the route you went. '04-'05 is much better.

It was 420 shipped from Morris at boom plus toys. And it does come prepainted, but I think they are only available in the JDM colors.
I dont have a preinstall pic, but its a 1 peice lip that covers the fog light area, you have to take out the stock fog light and fake vent to install this. If you look at your stock 06 bumper, the fog light trim piece just pops out from the back and this goes right in there. Its the same way the 04-05 euro R lips are. As for the lower grille area, it pretty much stays the same, the lip wraps the sides and bottom of the lower grill so its ever so slightly smaller.
The install was 2 hours, you have to uninstall the front bumper and disconnect the foglights, if i were to do it again it would take 1 hour.

Looks just like the OEM front bumper but with two horizontal slit next to each foglight....it looks good though. I actually like the '06 front bumper better than 04/05. I think it makes the car look more aggressive.

Hey activeaero I know you have the OEM sides and rear. Can you post full body pics of your car, like a side shot and some different angle front shots. Also, anyway someone can get better pics of the OEM front lip so I can compare it to the Euro-R front lip.
Thanks

Yeah I will try this weekend, I have the A-spec sides and rear with the spoon rear spoiler. I've been meaning to take real pics.
BTW I didn't take pics at the dealership since a really good comparison pic was already posted.
