hmm...either one looks good.

however i think i liked the octane bumper more because it was unique with the TRD sideskirts and valences.

i think the car looks better with the stock bumper and i would put the fog lights back on

Yea, i'd rather have the octane bumper on there. but it's fiberglass and needs a little bit of repairing. There's a hole on the bottom near the front of the bumper and a gash to the side from my bro backing out of a lift and hits the arm of the lift...

I actually like it A LOT the way it is right now. I prefer the TRD lip kit, and for some reason the no fog lights accent the lower grille pretty nicely. Definitely looks good man

Thats a good look Jimmy. Why dont you consider maybe mesh in the fog light holes and also in the rear valence. I think it would look nice with the silver paint of your car. If not then my vote is to get the fog lights back in there.

yeah... i kinda like it without the foglights too... i can go either way in terms of the octane or the trd lip. they both look hot!

Simple solution - Ride on oem bumper for the intown commutes, ride on the octane bumper for the meets/shows. As far as looking odd w/o fogs....not at all....

I like the new one better

Either one looks good to me. . . If you got a CAI just leave the fogs off and try custom work to fill the holes and still let mass air through.

I would try to go with a custom work on that stock bumper to try and fill the gap between the front lips to get that full front lip look. That would accent the rear spoiler to make it a nice complete lip style. That's what I would do if I had the funds. Two phat lips. :wink:

Either way your car makes me drool!

I showed pics from our meets to some of the guys in the tuner scene, and most of them like your octane bumper the best. One said it has the "clean JDM look."

I think while your running the stock bumper, you should run with the foglights unless you have a reason not to, like a CAI. It looks incomplete to me.
