dainfamous001020: Thanks for posting those pics. I really like the front end. The rear end doesn't look bad either. How was mounting the bumpers? How much fabrication did you have to do?

Getting there. Euro trim, oem fogs and chrome kidneys would bring it on home.

Can always go sport bumpers later :D

these look great! im in the process of mounting my front bumper. i would like to know how you got the front to sit so high, and flush. did you cut part out of the top of the bumper? where mine gets to the fender well, it is about 3/4in lower than yours. im kind of going by trial and error here. any help would be greatly appreciated.

any pointers?

Can you post a full side profile of the car with the new bumpers? Looks pretty good to me!

You must be having a rough Friday. It's not Victor Martinez who had put a damper on it, is it? :D

Catcher for the Tigers. Tigers beat the Mariners tonight. They call baseball a thinking man's game.

I like it. Curious to see it with sport bumpers but at $750 for thrashed ones, not something to just try on a whim.
