Teaser of Upcoming Mod!

Okay okay guys, you've been criticizing my front bumper for so long and I've finally done something about it. No, I didn't get a new front bumper...but I did get a lip, so maybe once I get it painted my front end will look fresh! I taped it up to the bumper to get an idea of what it will look like when it's installed. I still need to find a local shop to paint and install.

Screw painting it, leave it how it is. That's how everyone else from around here rolls. No one will even notice AND you can save $$$!!! Even better, I found a picture to help inspire your next round of mods while your at it. I mean yea, his kit is painted, but the guy is clearly a baller.



Do it up meng!

Nah, just get some zip-ties and you'll be all set.

Looks good! Be careful parking when you get it on there.

My RF got snagged on a parking partition yesterday. Bumper REinstall FTL.

Nice, when its installed can you please take a picture of it comparing it to the bottom of the sides? Just so I know how much it'll stick out.

I'm willing to bet that 3 months after you get the lip installed, you'll get tired of it and get a whole new bumper.
