ASM I.S. Design Rear Aero Bumper -04 Type S:

Finally got in the rear bumper I have had my eyes on for some time now.











Really looking forward to test fitting and getting this painted. Built quality is as perfect as one would expect from ASM. Awesome to see that the mesh pieces come coated/painted black ready to go, and it also comes with nice hardware, better than what the OEM bumper uses even. The 1x1 carbon lower piece should match the side diffusers perfectly. Hopefully this week I can get it test fitted, get the side mounting tabs relocated, JDM bumper support and license plate frame mounted, and have ready to send off for paint.

The carbon lower piece is so, so nice...

Stating the obvious, but you'll love the fitment. It fits perfect the first time and it is such a nice piece. #statingtheobvious

Glad you finally got the bumper in, I also love this bumper vs the wide version but wanted the dual exhaust version. Excited to see how this looks once painted. Would be curious to know drag comparisons between this bumper and the stock piece, especially when mated with their rear diffuser. Looking great as always Andrew.

Photo I snapped today after getting out of my car today heading into work. Exhaust was sitting pretty in this sun so decided to snap a photo. I remember someone asking how the coloring of the tip was holding up over time and as I mentioned before it pretty much looks identical to when I got it. The piping color shifts around but because the way the tip color is done it stays pretty much the same.

Got the latest S2000 HyperRev yesterday, and noticed a car with 17x9.5+40 ZE40s. First time seeing a square setup on an S2000, these should be using the same face that will be on my 17x9.5+47s that will arrive this year. Good to see they are just as good looking in 17" as they are in 18".

I think this and the EVS-70SSP are the only exhausts with tip designs I like 100%. So many use tips that are either very narrow or very short and don't extend out far enough.

I like the Origin single as well but not so much on a street car.

I like how most of the muffler is hidden (until that bumper goes on!!)
And the tip fills the hole ;-/

I almost feel my Urge exhaust is too loud plus i dont like how it hangs by the differential. It seems too low.
The Amuse looks to be tucked up high like oem. Bulletproof said i could get euro s without a resonator or a different one than standard, but im wondering how that would sound. Could be an expensive mistake
The things I try and justify!!!!
