I like the look. Not everyone has to agree, otherwise we'd all drive mustangs.

What's the purpose in removing the round cover from the front bumper?

Looking at the pics on the sparks site I actually prefer the look of the line showing over the line blending in.

Does that work? I took the driver side pseudo vent cover off to get more air to the CAI. I don't think removing the bumper cover does anything for performance.

they are actually relatively inexpensive, but your offset will be crazy, hence why he has a +5mm offset.

like tcholic said, its a spacer, however they bolt up to your stock hubs, then they instead of drilling it into a 5x100 normally, they drill a 5x114.3.. pretty simple right?

do you have more info how this works or a link?

I was making an attempt at humor. I guess I failed.

DonnyDarko;
I bet that you would wouldn't have any problems if you aren't rubbing now, but I'm just guessing here. I haven't even seen these in person so maybe you should contact the owner of that car for more info. Also, what's the offset of your wheels? I think that unless you're running a low offset, the flares will make the wheels look sunk in.

I guess that's what spacers are for....
