Really like the stock look too, I'm probably going to get rid of the do-luck and go back to a stock bumper with the whifbitz lower lip. The only thing thats stopping me is the airflow problems it'll cause with the FMIC.

 

Nooooo! :tongue: I had to defend mine at Blenheim with a squirt demo :D

 

That was hilarious, how to make a complete bloody mess of you car in 2 seconds! :D

Homer, I've a standard bumper and was thinking about getting a two row FMIC. Will my standard bumper be a problem?

It'll fit fine mate - many poeple have them without issue. My 3 row fitted without any cutting. The only concern I had was the stock bumper only allows airflow to 60% of the FMIC front area.

It had crossed my mind about only half the IC getting air, as already said I'm not keen on any of the aftermarket bumpers so maybe a rethink for me.

I have always liked the stock look, simple yet effective. But I do agree that it needs lowering a touch and wheels can make a car. Never been a fan of bodykits, extra bits of plastic (weight)stuck on that serve no useful purpose (ie. no wind tunnel testing etc)apart from looks if thats you're thing:D . All IMO of course:)

For those that like the stockish look (Jamie & Conrad), have you considered the Stillen?

 

I love the Stillen side skirts! However, I also love the Bitz ones - not too OTT but lower the side profile nicely. I don't like any of the front bumpers I've seen so far but managed to get a Greddy style front bib spoiler which (in my opinion) lowers the front end without losing too much of the stock look. Subtlety is the key I recon:d Once I get my Blitz sideskirts fitted I'll be on the lookout for a fairly clean, un-fussy set of spats to finish it off before I start looking at a rear end (ooh err!):D

 

Stock looks the mutts on a black car but not so good on Silver as the black bits show too much for my likeing and make the car look a little too high off the ground:)

don't whifbitz do a deeper stock look bumper, i'm sure i've seen something somewhere.

I have a stock front with the lip painted and looks ok, but with the toyota skirts looking from the side its a bit to high at the front. Only reason i haven't changed is cause its getting rarer to see a kitted one!
