Probably cause he came to his senses and realized it was hideous.

Looking good troll.

[S4toSTI]

Where are the pics of the sebring?

[jspek]

haha the sebring, forgot about that. im still a huge fan of the chargespeed bumper.

[TROLL]

oh much debate about the bumper... well when i first got it i was in love but looking back i dont think it flows all that well. on mine it was just unbalanced with oem sideskirts and an oem rear lip, i think the new setup just flows and looks cleaner. i did like the full chargespeed kit on rob's red wrx though.
and another big thing about it is that it was low, fiberglass, and expensive. i felt like a little priss driving my car around because i had to be so gentle around bumps or ramps or whatever else. also, that bumper pretty much needs a front mount as so many of you were kind enough to remind me on a regular basis.
now i dont have to worry about the bumper/lip too much but i still think it looks good, although it definitely doesnt get as many looks as the chargespeed did. i'm pretty happy with my exterior now so i think i'll focus on other areas of the car .

so yeah... enough about the bumper... i think i'll try to get more info about mods and other stuff into this thread today since i'm sitting at work not doing much. then once we're all caught up to present day i've got some current stuff going on thats pretty cool.
