why the bumper switch? The R1 looked great with your set up.

..Not that I don't like the new one because I do

That's what I thought at first but it's actually pretty close to the same size as the R1. I will most likely getting side skirts to match.

I've always wanted this bumper ever since it came out, and I feel like it would be a good change, but don't worry I'm keeping the R1 as well

Sorry for the lag on updates! I've actually made a drastic decision and sold off the hardtop, all the latches, and the bumper! The more I worked on them the more the quality just irked me. If and when I can afford the real parts I will buy them, but until then I just can't handle this rep stuff

Also, I rearranged all of my pics on my photobucket not knowing it was going to break all the links for my pictures. I'll go back and fix the links soon.

Selling it was the right choice, IMO. Looked much better before it.

Yes I had this whole vision in my head but I would need all the parts painted and installed at once. Piecing it together would have taken long and it would have just looked weird lol.

the quest for the perfect suzuka... you are already there man! Glad you kept the R1 bumper. I think a OEM hard top would complete the picture but that's just my opinion.

I'm a massive fan of voltex bumpers and Mugen hardtops (I have 1 of each) but I loved the way the car looked before with the amuse front bar. Agree with above. Prefect suzuka = already there!

Thanks alot guys I really appreciate it! After selling off everything I've come to realize that the setup it has now is perfect already. Believe it or not the car had an oem hardtop when I bought it off my buddy, but at the time I just couldn't afford to buy the car and spend the extra $3k on the top. He took it and eventually put it on his gf's gpw s2k

I had it on for a while before I gave it back to him so I was able to enjoy it and snap some pics before I returned it





In the future I'll either be buying a real mugen top or an oem top
