I believe the FEED bumper is designed for the JDM bumper bar, or no bar at all. Because I need to get it on before this coming Saturday, I didn't have time to modify it/the bumper bar. Hence why the OEM bumper was off here, to create some bumper support brackets. Indeed, will be rocking the Authentic FEED + Ings+1 sides. If/when I do another bumper it will be the Autoexe SE-03C.
Konig - They are still finalizing their launch but have a shop up and running. Custom multi-piece wheels, wheel refinishing, even simple powder coating - they do it all. When they have their official hard launch, I'll probably post about it here on the forum

Thanks for the compliments guys! I have to say, I'm loving the wheels - I have a hard time imagining what will come next.

They're great! With a UTQG of 140 they don't last long, they're stiff, and they're noisy but the grip is phenomenal. This is my second set and I have to say I'm loving them!
There will be plenty more in the future, about a week or so.
If there's a point I have the front on without the sides, I'll snap a few. I think side skirts are a must with aftermarket bumpers to help with the visual flow. The FEED bumper is a great piece though as I think it can be pulled off with the OEM front mud guards and side aero just fine.

Dammit, I was trying to not take any pictures until it was all done but I love seeing a car with no front bumper! Bumper was off as I was fabbing up a quick bumper support for when the bumper bar is not present.

Wheels are three piece BBS LM's with 19" faces front mounted on reverse lips + barrels, work done by a local SoCal shop who will soon blow up! Specs are 18x11 ET25 all around with 265/35/18 Hankook R-S3's. No rubbing, of course!

It was good to shoot the **** w/you Tilt, spouting off about random numbers relating to fitment n' clearance didn't make me feel so weird when the person i'm talking to actually understands it. lol.
btw, DON'T STEAL MY IDEA!!!
