Oh...and where do i get the first and last grill shown? i understand that the last grill shown is just a stock ss grill...but i still need to know where to get it. thanks

The bumper should be fine. I am pretty sure that is not the stock ss grille. It is custom as far as I know. I have no idea where the grilles come from. I suppose you can search the sponsors, or pm them, or start a new thread asking for the manufacturer of that grille in the appearance section.

I know one of the x-sponsors (i think q.m.p.) had that same grille on their single turbo shop car.
