    Good Job
    did you have to use any kind of heat on it or just bend it back in place?

    Re: de-uglyfied my bumper

    nah i aint got those fancy heating things, only a hot glue gun. the heater aint hot enough, i just left the bumper the way it was there overnight and screwed it down

    it may not look absolutly perfect, but i only put the bumper on to see how it looked, i still gotta get another headlight asl for the rhs before i put the bumper on properly

    yeah, its one of those ones that are suposed to take all the damage when you go up our driveway or over speed bumps so in 20 years time when you take it off, the bottom of it looks new its like a condom for a bumper

    Re: de-uglyfied my bumper

    dunno, the so called "gloss white" paint i bought turned out to be a ugly cream color, o well ya get what ya pay for ($2) but i refuse to pay $10. as for the lip, you can have it if ya want ill chop it to pieces so shipping will be cheap, and you can glue/tape/weld it back together :p

    Ohhhh...haha! Now that is good stuff. Job well done on the cheap fabrication man, as long as it gets the job done.

    That's got to be the cleanest living DX I've ever seen.

    Wow, that's absolutely amazing-that car does not look like it's 20 years old!
