For the bumper: Who gives a ****, he is boosting! I think later down the road a more neat IC piping and FMIC would be nice but for now function > fashion.
For the wheels: Keep polishing Alice!

i say paint them
12 sec car huh? you need to update your sig then
just playing, but if you make that sort of time then who cares what your front looks like because most people will be looking at your tailights

Re: paint or polish wheels? (JDM EJ1 95)
Personally about the wheels...i think polished would look a hell of a lot better than painted...thats just me. Ive never seen these wheels polished but i bet they look sick as hell....and as for the bumper **** that ****.... If its a 12 second car who cares man...these **** are just complaining cause their car doesnt do 12s... Post some pics when the wheels are done

with the polishing... the only problems ive come across is getting the stock pitting out of the metal of the wheels.. takes forever to sand it all down to a polishable surface... and the ones i have done.. theyre just starting to pit again....so i think im just gonna paint them

I'd have to agree, that looks like ***.
