Love your car .

I know you have the OPC styling, are the front and rear bumpers a direct bolt on or are there mods that need to be made? There is a good chance I will be getting the OPC style kit, But I want to make sure I know what I'm getting into.

I assume the front would be good, my real concern is the rear bumper. Any help would be great.

  • front rebar needs to be modified to fit the bumper, rear rebar needs to be replaced with the European one
  • The foglights have to be toyed with to still use the US wiring harness
  • Obviously the exhaust has to be custom done to fit the turbo bits to it, including adding the center hanger
  • Need to drill the mounting holes in the frame for the underside of the sideskirts

I dont believe it'd fit a 5 door, as the entire rear of the car is differently shaped panels.
