I know this has been done before, but I was able to get one for three bucks,including the dollar to get in the yard, so I figured I would post it up.
It wasn't a bad install, the main issue was cutting off all the plastic snap on tabs on the back of the lip. Once that's done,it lines up pretty well.

I had found one with half the lip missing, and I was lucky enough to find the other half about ten cars away.

I need to do a bunch of body work on the bumper again,as I had hit a dog at about 70, the bumper is physically fixed, but needs cosmetic work is all.

I'm probably going to change the grill to black, and I'm going to lengthen the lamp wires to clean them up, as far as putting on the lip, I used about eight long throat vise grip clamps to clamp it, then drilled all the holes for the screws

yea some dumbfuck let his German Sheppard roam loose near a high speed road, dog hit the corner flew in the air and shot past the drivers side window, it cracked the corner and the area where the turn signal was, I repaired everything, but it needs cosmetic finish work and repaint, I've been working on other stuff, i just got the bumper out of the loft
