Before & After Bumper Tuck Pics?

You will hate it while you are doing it, but when you are done, you will love them again lol lots of hard work.

Did you use a buffer or plain ol' elbow grease?

First you have to sand the protective coating off, then when its down to the raw aluminum, you can sand with a 600 grit to smooth it, then 1000 grit, then polish, then wax it to keep it shines. Lots of work....

[mike866]

rims

looks kool, i rather do the swap.
this is mine after the swap.

what type of rims are those

[mbonanni]

I still have yet to do this.

I realllly want to, but now I also really want a four door. I may keep the bumpers stock for resale purposes and then hopefully will get a decent four door early model that I can tuck bumpers on till I get euro bumpers

My problem is I have an exhaust tip in the way. So I gotta find something that is sticking out and at the correct height to only push the bumper in and not the tips. Any suggestions?
Pic for reference.

Yeah man, just look under you bumper. There are two bolts holding the shock to the bumper. undo each of them and voila bumper is removed. now drill your shocks and sledge hammer them in. reattach bumper with the 4 bolts total and you are set. that way you wont hurt your exhaust. Or just put some wood against your bumper and sledge it. kinda like back in the day how you could hold magazines up to a nerd before you punched umm so it wouldn't bruise.

I thought the rear bumper was the hardest to do? I was hoping I could just drill the shocks with the bumper still on. But I guess I'll have to take the back bumper off.. The front I can leave on luckily...

this has inspired me to do tucked polished DB's and go back to chrome kidneys! f&%^ing gorgeous!

Before I did my rear plastic swap, I drilled the shocks and hit up a near by brick wall. I ran into that thing a good 6 times hard and the bumper never moved. Thats when I gave up and put the plastic on.

with 90 vert shorter bumper shocks, the perfect amount of tuck

I wanna see MORE!!!!!

The rear bumper shocks actually have 3 bolts not 2, one is above the muffler shield and the other is on the other side.
