   hahaha. nah, i doubt he does. dunno how the lights fit in. i'd get some and then think about that bit lol. it should be fairly easy to work out when all the parts are infront of you.

    This might be a silly question.......
    If he puts a vt front bumper on, wont it be lower than the back bumper?? I thought the vt bumpers were deeper for a more aggressive look, no??
    
    If so it will look silly, you would have to replace both front and rear with vt bumpers.
    Or am i just being a bumper lol

    spose i could try getting to scrappy and taking the brackets off a bumper down there. i dunno how i'd fit the bracket to the bumper though. i wonder how much it would be to just stick it in at a body shop

    vt rear is alot harder to do. requires alot of firbeglassing to build the side rub strips out to match.

    The only thing is the VTR/S got the arches and the bumper joins on to it, wont u have a gap where the front wings are cos you havent got the arches?
    
    I dont no but just a suggestion

    I'd say your bumper, but with Smoked fogs, and wide mouth your little grill.. Bit more unique than a vt bumper then aswell.

    the brackets need to be modified on the vtr bumper apparently then it'll fit flush with the arches...i think/hope lol
