Have you already bought your bumper and headlights?

I've got a V6 front bumper, with fogs and signals. Also a v4 with the same parts, as well as OEM Blacked out OEM glass headlights and JDM side markers.

Also....edit..i forgot, I've got JDM taillights sitting here.
If anything interests you...let me know and I can send pictures to you.
