Went through all 20 pages of your thread and enjoyed looking at all of the pictures minus the accident!

Car looks great and definitely makes me want the ASPEC kit more than before! I'm just hesitant about drilling holes into my bumper.. thinking long term.

Keep up the good work! Car looks amazing!

You'll never NOT want to have the aspec kit on the car...don't worry about the drilling of holes.

Thank you! And J (Rockstar143) is right. You'll want the A-Spec kit on the car no matter what drilling you have to do. Since it is an OEM part, selling the car down the road should you ever do that, would actually help the value of the car and not hurt it. Plus it actually is a better selling point because in my opinion it enhances the stock look 10x. Go for it man, you won't regret it!

Naw...he almost bought one, but he couldn't handle the added HP. He found it too hard to control.
