Not only that but even if I were to want to run one I would be more than happy to buy one/build my own if my gf bought me that bumper.
Building one together would be pretty fun too!

Option 1: JDM Bumper [best website to order from]

Option 2:Spoolin Up COP [great product]

I'm reaaaalllly loving this bumper!

Since he's gone mainly aethetics I'd say go for the JDM rear if you really want to say I love you!

Your from NYC so speak to Howard on TriStateEvo.com. NJ9MR

Post a thread on there or feel free to PM me and I'll speak to him as I have his number and will get you a price.

If your dead set on 6-700, I'd go with evo9 SElip, Rexpeed side skirt extensions and sidespats.

That would set off his aethetics nicely without making a huge switch to the JDM rear.

My car JDM rear:



Here is what the rexpeed additions would look like. You have to disregard the extra changes to see how well it will look with his setup!

Get him a DEFI gauge set up from the classifieds section on the forum. It is right in your budget and he will love the baller jdm Gauges.

If not, Maybe a blow off valve, JDM side markers, Shift knob, carbon fiber cooling plate or other engine bay dress up mods totaling $500. Either way, he's a lucky guy.

Good luck.

Get him a big bling bling intercooler core upgrade. The ETS 3.5 core is in your budget, looks great and will help overall performance. It also will be good for many mods to come!

Would I also have to get a new crash beam to fit the JDM bumper?

I'm probably asking really stupid questions lol
