Just snapped some new PICS of the 2002 LSE...

The LSE in this thread has all OEM LSE body parts, including the front bumper cover. The CDC kit has a different front bumper cover, where the lower front part is fully open. Many (like myself) who have the CDC front bumper cover have created their own mesh grill using the stainless steel gutter guard from Lowes/Home Depot.

I unpacked the used one we just bought and it is the OEM one with the slats just as you said. ...gotta do more sanding and a little fiberglass work to get it ready for painting and installation. Amazing the amount of pitting from the road these things have to endure!

And they look great and 19s to me are the optimal "look" for the car.

With the lowered stance it really works!

When Brian at LLSOC had the StopTech big brake kit on his LS the rotors filled up the whole inner wheel area and that took it to yet another level.

Not particularly optimum for the pot holes around here, but I agree. Wish I had the dough for the big brake kit!!
