I love that bumper, Good choice. This year it is already extremely hard to come by, Yet i have seen quite a few people popping up showing them off. Very nice

Off Topic question, Your blow off valve is on the hot side. I have been reading a lot and there seems to be a big disagreement about weather or not it is A.Safer to have it on the intake side or B.More responsive. My questions to you are; what blow off valve are you using? have you ever experienced problems with it mounted on that side? have you ever experienced a BOV on the intake side (not sure if i am phrasing that right)? Are you blowing to atmosphere or recirculated?

Thanks ^^

That's the argument Megan part owners use.

There's seriously nothing wrong with spacers though.

since when does spacers = failure??

Please elaborate... I know tons (well, maybe not tons) of people dailying and tracking spaced out wheels, including myself (slip on 10mm's for like 3 years now... same studs and same slips)

I was just going to ask what kind of bumper that was. I never thought I would be a fan of green rims but they look nice.

Hubcentric spacers are fine. Non hubcentric spacers are crap.

You got a very good deal. With or without bumper support?
