    My new Bumper

    I've been workin' on a custom bumper for about a month now.... I've finally gotten it to some form of completion... Atleast enough to put it back on and be able to drive it... It really didn't turn out at all how I pictured it or how I wanted it to... To be quite frank... I don't like it... N' I'm pretty upset with how it turned out... Here it is though what you guys think??...




    In this last one you can kinda see where i cracked the bumper...I got pissed off when I was putting the mesh in...And kicked the bumper accrossed the basement... Only that little crack though...I was surprised....

    and one more
    Thats what outside looked like this mourning...

    so no working on the car...
    I plan on fixin the crack...Then puttin a couple more coats of primer... Then I have one more peice to add.... It's a spoon/touring type front spoiler...It'll look good...

    Here you go.... I got another 3g bumper cover... Cut the top off.... Then I bolted it to the lower portion of my bumper.... Then came the fiber glass and a shit-ton of sanding...

    It's hard to juge without it being done.Mabey after paint and lip it will look better.

    so im trying to figure out exactly whats going on. Your bumper now looks like a mirror image of the top half of the bumper on the bottom.......awesome concept.

    i think it looks sweet.
