good looks on starting a group for the younger crowd. it'll let the imaginations flow a bit more, but don't forget the older guys know what they're doing.

Yeah I suppose that makes sense. I've been wanting a splitter and the sema grill but $400 for a piece of plastic is hard to justify. Especially since its the same cost for a i7-6700k + 1080 and I have been eyeing those.

Edit: I was also curious to see how much the front bumper would cost if I ever needed a replacement and its $1500!

Bumper cover is $250-$300, oem. Painted, maybe $500-$700. But if you wanna spend $1500, let me give you our number. Unless you need grilles, lights, etc. then $1500 aint bad.

It could be worse. You could be boring.
