    front bumper swap

    so after crap loads of money being poured into my motor, i decided it was time to do something nice for my car.

    in the past seven to ten days my buddy at digger werk dubs helped me put in my smiley head lights and my new bumper. I also slapped a roof rack onto it...

              You should have swapped a driver side fender with the money you could have saved by not buying them eyebrows.
              Whats the point of installing them with city lights??

                They still give off a glow eventhough they are covered by the eyebrows.

                    wow. i didnt connect my city lights but now i want to. my cousin actually bought me the smileys for christmas because i bought him HIDs for his b-day.

                    and yea, the new driver fender will be ready to go soon. we just have to grind back some rust, weld in some new metal in the rust pits, flatten it out, and prime it.

                        Man, some of you northeasterners are dedicated! Out here if your fender has rust on it you just go to the junkyard and find a clean one. I would never even consider welding new tin into a bolt on body part, a quarter or rocker maybe, but not a fender.

                              there's enough salt on our roads to recreate the Oklahoma city bombing. if it's just flurrying, the towns are like, "ok we better pound the raods with sailt." so everything rusts 10x faster.
