I like how the intake pipe says DSM when that is not a DSM.

That's off topic, but I'll bite the hook. Let us not forget that there is a true variant DSM producing a whopping 92 horsepower... With this car being on MegaSquirt and turbocharged, it's safe to assume that it has at least 3x the output. Perhaps this is false advertising, but with no ill intent. Take a trip to Gautemala. Every 2g Eclipse is heavily badged "DSM" from windows to bumpers, but all of them were 420a equipped. It isn't a Diamond Star Motor, rather a Mopar Motor. But it's the appearance that they're after, 4g63 is not readily available, and they may just lack understanding of what a DSM truly means. Anyway, that's my shpeil on this comment,

On the topic of front bumpers. You have a few options.
1. Use a stock front bumper, and modify/alter it to achieve whichever style you desire.
2. Buy one of the still offered aftermarket front bumpers, but end up modifying/reconstructing it anyway because fitment is horrible.
3. Do some deep digging to find a used aftermarket bumper, which may be damaged and need repairs/modification.
I chose option 1, to modify a stock bumper and achieve my desired appearance. I still haven't finished the damn thing though. Fiberglass skills will be handy.
