    I'd guess the struts are no longer there, and are replaced with a shorter fabbed bracket. Best looking US bumper car out there, no doubt. Lots of time in those bumpers though.

      I'd guess the real trick is modifying the plastic bumper surround so there's no gap. The further you push the bumpers in the more gap there is on the sides.

        Just keep pushing it in... when you think you can't push it in any farther, push harder.

              Maybe no bumper shock at all... Maybe he modified the bracket that attaches the bumper to the shock so that it mounts right to the body of the car.... Or fabbed his own bracket?


              I don't really like the look. Looks like it has overbite.
