New MaShaw GT2 bumper installed Pics inside...

Hey guys, thought would post some pics of my new GT2 replica from MaShaw. I bought this off another forum member and just fitted it over the weekend. I think it really transforms the car and makes it look much more aggressive. Fit and finish were pretty good overall. My body shop had to do little modifications to make it look great. I also had them install some mesh screen in the vent area on top of the bumper as well as painting everything behind black. I decided to mod the side radiator ducts which was very easy to do. IMO they look just fine and there is no need to purchase the GT2 ducts. The center duct doesnt line up perfect but it is not that noticeable One thing to note is the CF lip that comes with the bumper sits LOW so you have to be very carfefull driving. I am thinking I might just get another for back up as I know this wont last long




Let me know what you guys think.

Looks good. I love your wheels. Did the bumper come with the tow hook plug or did you have to modify it? Mine didn't.
