That's weird. I liked your idea of going Bronze with them.

Me too, however finding something that's going to be close to what the Volk colour is will be hard and I won't be able to have a polished anodized lip, but I'm still going to try. He has this colour available so I'll give it a whirl.

who ever is powdercoating, you need to ask if you can get strips coated for you so you can see the colors in person

He has color swatches in person, that's how I chose the colour I originally had.

He basically owes me a free coating, so I'll take it.

Apparently it's not a UV friendly coating. His shop is still relatively new, so he hasn't sprayed all 1000+ colours he has available, so it's trial and error for him.

I love the simplicity of the AP1 bumper with the OEM lip, but if I could have my way I'd get a Shine Amuse bumper like you.

And to get RPF1's or not - that is the question.

My RPF1s are back on the car and there is a really good chance they are staying. I just like the clean and simple look no matter how many times I've seen them done over. Plus it will free up some funds for a few other parts I've been wanting for a while. I don't even really care about all of those that will be bummed to see the CEs go. Of course nothing is set in stone until one of the sets Is sold but right now they are on the chopping block
