    Makes the front end seem more beefy. I'm definitely going to have to do this.
    
    Thread hijack! Is the front bumper easy to fit JDub?

    Literally just swap them over but you'll need to cable tie in the edges if you're not planning on putting on the arches and sideskirt.

    But doing that would mean lowering, cutting the rear arches and spending more on the full kit. All in all it would be a lot more expensive.
    
    Replacing the front bumper with the VT one is a nice, subtle upgrade that does look the part and fitting the front arches and skirts like JDub won't require much work either!
