Got a great deal on it in stock at a local dealership. I have the mustache and the rest of the stuff required for the swap on the way.

I'll also be selling my current splitter and getting a new one from Verus as they have a specific model for '17 bumpers.

I've also ordered the ONLY Blitz oil cooler kit for the 2017 bumper headed to North America this month! I decided to part ways with the modified Perrin kit I have. I actually recycled the core as it's too risky to possibly run with bearing junk in it, so the lines and sandwich plate will be sold to someone else who can buy a new core for them.

I love everything about the Blitz kit, though. The shroud that directs airflow, the position off to the side to allow my intercooler but not invade my brake cooling hoses, the braided steel hoses, and a thermostatic plate with two ports for pressure and temp sensors! Very excited about it.


Lastly, I'm bringing the motor down to Mazworx next Friday!
Mind telling us the cost of the "17 bumper and the rest of the parts to put it together? Thinking about doing this myself.
