hmm...yeah, you're right. I went back and looked. they dont have any on ebay anymore but there are some on their website www.genkituning.com. the only thing is that they are a little more expensive on thier website. Hope this helps.

i ordered from genki tuning yesterday and was thrilled that they had them, then they called me that night and said they didnt have them but they could send me the titanium. i said no i have to have black, so they told me theyd cancel my order.

talk about a let down...

^^^ really??? my friend just ordered his from there less than a week ago and they still had them...i guess they went pretty fast...sorry bout that...i think the titanium would still look pretty good on a SW though...just my .02.

how was the experience?

it was really easy...the most time consuming part was taking off the front bumper and then putting it back on...i was a little nervous b/c it was the first time i'd done it. total time was about 45 mins. heres a couple pics:

is there a guide for removal of the front bumper anywhere on this site? i did a search but it was being lame

^^^

Step 1: There are 5 black bolts on the bottom of the bumper that needs to be removed. The "center" bolt is actually more towards the driver side.

Step 2: There are also 2 silver bolts that need to be removed, one on each side of the car. these are connected to the splash guards underneath with an extension stemming from the actual bumper

Step 3: Go to the wheelwell and remove the bolt connecting the fender underliner to the bumper.

Step 4: Pull out the fender liner a little and you'll see another bolt connecting the bumper to the car.

Step 5: Now go back up to the top of the bumper. There are two plastic plugs on each side of the car near the headlights. Use a flathead screwdriver here to pry the plugs off.

Step 6: There is one bolt in the center of the bumper (on top) connecting it to the frame. Use the flathead again here.

Step 7: Once all those bolts are removed, start removing the bumper from the sides first and then simply slide out. (it snaps in just in front of the wheel wells and behind the headlights so dont be afraid to tug a little on the sides to get it off)

ALL DONE!!

yeah i remember when i was doing it i was afraid of tugging hard.

all paranoid about breaking it or the plastic teeths that hold the grill in place.

Has anyone tried to paint the VRD titanium flat black?
