Expression front bumper is on...

Finally, having to "mutilate" my stock C32 bumper reinforcement and foam, we got the Expression bumper on my C32!!! There is still a bulge on the bottom of the bumper after we installed it but we have tried everything, including attatching 2 screws in the center, the bulge under the bumper just got smaller and moved to the side....isnt that noticable though but Im picky so I will have to cut the bottom and mend it with fiberglass, then resand that part and blend it! Looks good so far though...

Benzo the kit honestly flows w/the car almost PERFECT. Great choice...as far as the grille...I am not really feeling it =/ Just my opinion though, good to see you modding the heck out of your car-you work friggin QUICK!

You've got to work on those gaps. (If you're picky you already know anyway) But the hood gap on the left is higher than the gap on the right and the gaps around the lights from the aftermarket bumper and hood seem to be about twice the size of the gaps from the factory fenders to the headlights.

That looks amazing! Now I'm really sad that my used Expression bumper purchase fell through.

IMHO the stock bumper aint that much of a difference to that one, and to go through all that hassle for a fairly similiar bumper is it really worth it !!

just my $0.02 thats all

overall great car, looks great.

enjoy

Looks Great But....

Why the hell can expression not make their products fit correctly. I know my grille was a pain in the **** and that bumper was next on my list when i get back home from my trip. I love the look of the car though, it is really coming together and that bumper is truley unique now that every damn c230 has our body kit. Keep up the good modding.
