So I noticed the lower grill/air dam is, um, gone. You have any plans to remedy that? Some customizing or re-fabing the stock piece? If not, with just a bumper and that lQQk, you'll have people pulling over when they see that coming up fast in the rear view mirror.
(story time) Speaking of coming up fast in the rvm, I live up in a remote canyon outside of LA where it's a 7 mile uphill drive on curvy canyon roads to get to my place. If there's no one to stop me, I prefer motoring up at a good clip. Nothing extreme, since I'm always mindful of tire wear, but faster than most cars and what the state of California allows. So I'm driving home at 2am this past weekend and looking forward to nice quick pace climb under ideal cool temp conditions. I'm taking the s turns leading up to the incline when I see way in the distance a set of headlights. In a matter of seconds those headlights are fast approaching. Before I could even decide what to do (speed up or pull over) that car flew past me with it's high reved import tuned exhaust sound - on a blind curve!!! Then as I'm halfway up the 3 mile hill, pulling a steady 8 psi in 4th, doing 45 mph, slicing through the curves, yet another set of headlights approaches and flies past me, also on a blind curve. Not long ago I actually saw one of them make too fast a turn and end up hitting the canyon wall after his back end spun around. His brakes kept him from doing serious damage. Headlight and corner lights all mangled, he spun his wheels in reverse to pull out of the ditch and continued flying down the hill. These guys are nuts!
