should say that i think they're gay coz most of the time you see them 'bodged' up on crappy wee novas and the likes..

i suppose if it's done correctly and doesn't stick out too much it could be ok. i suppose.

My new white bumper went yellow around the exhaust in 2 track days

Although saying my car used to run rich was a bit of an understatement

Ooh, and people who say they are gay obviously dont have problems with melting bumpers due heat/flames.

I can take one on mine, but as you know my car is white.

Shield is hardly visible from a distance.

Sorry it took so long but i had to wash before taking any pics.

Bit crappy pic, too bright in the sunlight and too dark in the shadows.

Dave, you can get it from Amber Performance or directly from Spec-R
