Agreed 100%. The pitcrew conversion doesn't fit the lines of the car AT ALL.

I think id prefer the 99/00 bumper. I like the opening on this one better.

the NB's have a much bigger opening...something to consider for sure...look for damaged bumpers for sale to score for pretty cheap...great success
