    for the license plate part which style would you like more? style one is much easier and since its hidden by a plate its doesn't have to cover the connecting crack.

    style 2 would be heavier, harder for me to make, but would look better when you have no plate.

      both look like they would be fine with no front plate. you could always get one of those rub strips with BMW stamped on them to cover the brackets. also consider painting or powdercoating these black

                      building stability bar today,its coming out great so far and has 1.5 inches of adjust ability.

                      how much inches of a difference is their between DBs and plastic bumpers from front of bumper to grill?

                        depends, the 88 boards are shorter. I would just have them mount without pressing on the grill, that way people dont have to worry if their shit is tucked, or if they have the shorter 88 bumpers

                          I read this and thought it was stupid, but after looking at it I kind of like it. How about a 4-light bar across the top of the bumper? Driving lights aren't as effective when they're below the bumper.

                            well I got a lot more work done today, stability bar is made just need a little more adjustments(looks sweet), tabs are made(pain in the butt!), everything is measured out, just need to weld the license plate tabs on then find out wether I want to weld the stability bars on or have them be removable.

                            I plan on selling an entire kit which will include wiring,on/off switch,lights,covers and the mounting bar(basically everything you would need).
