Title: Bumper and Rocker Trim Delete on Japanese Car

Photos courtesy of Motoring Con Brio. Removal of bumpers is interesting, color-matching rockers and removal of trim there is much less so. Wheels and stickers need no comment. But the bumper deletion does give a clean look.

Yeah, the mounts for the bumpers are hidden front and rear.  They did a good job for what they were trying to do, but I'm not a fan.  I usually hang out on the side of originality in these debates.  The lowering of the suspension makes for some serious rear axle negative camber!
