I'm not 100% sure, but it looks like he got a Type-S rear lip and had it molded to his bumper.

Your not gonna get a bumper to look exactly like that without custom body work. Thats the type s rear bumper but he had the whole kit molded to his car.

Nice alternative to paint. I'm surprised Steven Bell hasn't done this to his ride, knowing his passion for CF.
