Opinions On My Aggressive Wheel Plan: Enkei RPF1 17x9 +45 Rear & 17x8 +45 Front

JDM bumpers are a performance mod because it makes the car shorter. Shorter cars go through slalom cones quicker. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hsugh.gif

But removing USDM bumpers makes the car handle like a noodle... they add sooooo much rigidity to the chassis!

Quoting turbowop:
IMO, that car would look better with wheels that fit without so much negative rear camber in a non-staggered setup.



No way brah...If he did that he would have to change the center tail section lettering from "LIPS" back to ECLIPSE. That would just mess up the entire car's chi.

JDM bumpers have larger fog lights increasing the performance of the lighting system. They have larger openings for large front mount intercoolers to receive a greater airflow, increasing performance. JDM bumpers increase your performance in the bedroom. They also feature air ducts to cool the front brakes which increase the braking performance by decreasing brake fade.

Ok might be a bit of a stretch...

^^^ Or, you could mount a www.speedpreformanceracingturbodriftcarbonfibre.com JDM anodized red forward facing tow hook that does all of this as well. Don't waste your time clicking the link, it doesn't do anything, just like the JDM bumper.
