    So I spent $500 today

    No, I didn't get the car below, but I did order the rear bumper that it has. Got a couple of questions guys....First of all, why are photos of this dtm look so hard to find? Cant find any in white. You guys have a pic of a white one?

    Also, but this is kind of a long shot.... Does anyone know how to find out the paint code for the paint the factory uses on the black valance area? If Im doing it, I want to get as factory as possible

    Lastly, why is it when i see people upgrading to this rear bumper do they not eliminate the rear reflector like seen below? Cant be that hard right?

    I simply ordered the bumper cover. Not sure if there is any mounting hardware necessary. If you guys know otherwise, feel free to chime in. I also heard something about some tabs needing to be trimmed too.

    I had to pay for it today. I'm getting the flash tomorrow. The shop I am going to typically isn't open on Saturday, but the owner is coming is solely for me at 10AM tomorrow. And depending on what my ECU# is, I may be able to get a 93 Octane specific file of the GIAC-X flash.

    Yea I'm definitely thinking about this rear bumper as a possibility. I doubt my dealer would be able to get me one, they seem pretty clueless when it comes to any part inquiries I have. Do you know of anywhere online where I could get one?

    The mounting Hardware is the same what you have on your car right now. so none of that should be needed. You might need the little vent that goes in the opening. some come with the vents i've heard and some don't. As for a the paint, I would go for a flatter black but not totally flat, a little gloss.
    The usual things!!
