I could be mistaken but I would guess the bottom portion of the bumper that protrudes forward is supposed to act as an air splitter. They just built it in. Personally I like it, I think it looks better than the ones that get added on with the rods. H&R has one on their TC, and I like this one better. It would look even better and not stand out so much if Canards were added, giving it an overall JGTC / Race look. Just IMO.

 

yeah, but come one. this isn't Nascar where you need to get that front bumper as low to the ground as possible to give you an edge when you're doing 200mph. that lip will get torn up in everyday driving. can that thing even go over a speed bump?

 

did you say Nascar? LOL. Of course the car will never see speeds anywhere near 200 mph, but its just about style. Realistically how many aerodynamic parts on daily driven cars actually help? My guess is VERY few. Unless you are talking about a Bomex air scoop for an MR2, or a properly designed bumper that will allow more air to hit the Intercooler / Brakes / CAI, then we know most parts people run on any type of Import are for show. Besides that particular front is Urethane, and it will not get tore up, plus she has stated multiple times that her car is too low and she is going to raise it up. For the record I have the same bumper on my car, only in Carbon, which WILL crack if I am not careful but I drive all over the place and hav yet to scrape over anything. Of course, just to be safe I am putting the FRP version on this weekend for daily, but I dont plan on messing that one up either.

 

Really, if you think these bumpers give a difference on REAL difference on the street, you're really dreaming. I Drive 160mph on a regular basis and ONLY at 140+ do these bumpers really make a difference. Let me tell you, you really do need downforce at over 140 cuz my car feels like it's going to lift off and fly. So Yes, if your Scion goes over 140, then definately get a kit. If you want an awesome looking car, definately get the kit anyhow!

car looks good i think. i actually like the star touch, its interesting (and yes i like girls all you haterz). haha. when you put the gold rims back on are you going to space the back ones to be flush with the body? that's really the only thing i think the car needs (other than f/i for the gap in the front).

nice work

 

Agreed!!.

Looks good outside. A different angle tho. But. still love the kit. Cars looks good.
