Oh yea, the real reason I wanna put the T/A bumper on is cause I ordered those corsa clone tips from Josh. I don't think they will look good with a formy bumper.

yea that's my main concern. I don't wanna see the side of the tips where they have been welded on and stuff. I wish I could find a high rise spoiler!

I've got it done so I could do the full ceta treatment and use Josh's clone tips. I like the look of it without the hi rise spoiler.

It looks good, but the only weird thing is the rear bumper sits a bit lower than the rest. Plus it has that flange at the bottom that mates with the TA sideskirts.

actually the rear ta bumper is even with the stock v-6 sides. The side skirt of a TA is a lot lower than the rear bumper. Your minds playing a trick on you. But, the sideskirts are easily added as well
