Haha, it HAS been forever. I think the inmates have been lazy... they gotta improve the turnaround time on vanity plates.... lol. But I could get the new plates today if I get out of work early.

Fogs.... yes. Let's make it happen!

Looks good, but is it just me or the back bumper is not color matched?

Most SSM/ASM and WDP have mismatched bumpers.
its from being painted at different places/times.

justnspace is right, not to mention the material is also different (at least that's what I'm hearing causes paint mis-match).

I hate it when people point out my mis-matched bumper =(

It's not that bad, though.

Usually, the lighting in pictures make it appear worst than it actually is.

I have 15mm all the way around, so it's as if they were 18x8 +25. I'm damn close to rubbing as is.... but if I get my fenders rolled, I may consider 20mm front / 25mm rear....... possibly.

No worries man, the back bumper pisses me off every single day. It's especially bad in lower light, like my pics.

Did you have to cut the stock lug bolts down using the Ichiba V2 with the GT3s or did they fit without any problems?
