Looks great! But I'm not sure about the rear vents on the bumper. It may just be the camera angle, but to me it looks like they installed the vents upside down. If you look at the upper corners of it, they look like they're lower than the middle of it, so it's kind of sneering. Whereas, had the vent been flipped around, it would have followed the lines of where the decklid meets the bumper a little better. But again, it may just be the angle of the photo. Other than that minor issue, the car looks fantastic, congrats!

thanks =)... just old fashion paint.

the duct is straight, but the angle of the bumper is round, so doesn't blend in completely. ok from some angles but others not. Not sure whether I'll keep it. recognize the duct?

Ahhh!!! Ducts from an Evo, very creative. Since they're plastic, maybe you can have them heated up to better fit the contours of the bumper. But honestly, that's a very minor detail, looks great!

Nice! I like that. Anyone know how to pull off the rear bumperettes on a US car? Is it safe?

getting the bumperettes off is easy, one bolt, accessed from the underside of the bumperette, there is a small flap that pulls down and if you look inside you will see the bolt

you will be left with aluminum 'brackets' sticking out from the bumper though, if you want to get rid of them thats more involved and you will havbe to have bodywork done to fill the holes left in the bumper

love the white/black look, rear vents if they were louvered and black like the front hood? bring to the top of the bumper where the trunk meets? It's important because a lot of people will be looking at it as you pass them by

glad you guys like it.

unfortunately the duct cant be moved again with out a new bumper because holes were opened to match the ducts.

Part 62001 is the back plate, 62079 is the duct. being 2 pc helps it sit flush to the face of the bumper but the 996 bumper curves up slightly like a smile. Looked at adjusting higher but the closer it is either to top or bottom, more the optical illusion that the duct is curved. similar effect with contrasting color. what i should have done was cut the duct in half and slightly angle them to the lines of the bumper. we'll see I'll just leave it for now.
