if you get the dmax position lights with the 2 bulbs in it you can run both turns and position, kinda like the half amber half clear signals

Looks MUCH better, in my opinion.
Lights close to the ground look cool at night. That's the only reason I want to use the turn signals.

I am guessing that it can be, but I would like some other opinions. If it can't be, I can always buy a new oem front bumper- but I'd love to save this one. Obviously I would want to do it right (i.e. no zip ties). It's funny, it looks like the turn signals were cleared out as well... I ordered new oem turn signals and position lamps, since one of the lamps was cracked and the signals are cleared out.

It was pricey, but I really wanted that OEM front lip.

Its fixable, there doesnt seem to be to much distortion. A clean crack like that is an easy fix.

Good to hear it should be fixable- thanks for the input.

I like the look with the turn signals personally. If I change my mind later, I can always remove them. I'm feelin' the OEM vibe...

The wheels are nice, the tires are just a bit too tall. A smaller profile will lower it a bit while also giving more room for more lowering.

At least they make it to the second round. Unlike the Flames. They've made it to the second round once in 19 years.

I've been trying to figure out the complication between the VS and OEM for some time now. I've had multiple people say it's not shorter, yet at the same time I'm almost positive I can see that it is.

I asked slow240sx this a while ago as I believe he had dealt with both bumpers, and said they sit relatively the same depending on how you mount them.

Chime in?

I'm trying to find either the VS one or OEM here locally in Canada but fuck is it ever hard. I'm not willing to pay another $400 for shipping here AND pay over $200 in duties. It's damn near pointless for JUST a bumper.

So far everyone one here doesn't really want to ship to me and I don't really blame them, but fml, i want!!!!


Thanks for the insight though s0ap!
