Haha, well it'll be probably a similar ride height again come spring, it's raised an inch now for winter, should probably raise it more but I can't bring myself too, it starts looking too lame..

All comes with being at the right place at the right time.
Most of the things I've done would have otherwise been incredibly cost prohibitive especially for an hourly employee like myself.

Maybe consider my car the next best thing minus the turbo and the cage... although those items will be around on SL via locals as well.

They're part of a moroso kill switch that was on the car these bumpers came from, he tracked the car and those sorts of things are required, I'll delete them eventually as they're non-functional for me right now unless I move my battery to the trunk and re-wire all of that junk... no thanks. I have the parts just not interested in using them for the tC, probably will go on my friends and my track 240 if/when we ever buy it.
I'll probably just get some plastic and a can of FM spray paint and cut it to fill the holes there and bondo it in place from the back so it just looks like 3 circles similar to the tow hook cover on the front bumper.
Also on these bumpers there are two slits; one front, one rear; where the Nukabe tow hooks were on the car.
Here's the thread of the car these are all from:

dodaddy's tC now owned by a different guy up here in WA and soon to be back to stock and traded in if he can get a hold of everything he needs.
edit: and yellowxhoodie beat me to it, heh.

Well, I know what I'm doing for the rear kill-switch/battery terminal covers, I'm going to buy 3 of the tow-hook covers in FM, and cut them to fit the cutouts over there so it'll just look like 3 FM circles for some weird reason, plus this way it's FM OEM paint, no weird matching/blending issues.
The tow-hook slits I'll probably find some sort of plastic and get some FM spray paint, cut it to fit and paste it on the bumper foam to keep it in place, It'd be way harder to bondo and paint to match the whole bumpers than to just fill the slits with plastic which will be 98% as good anyway.
