un-official progress thread: bumper swap

[etta325]

Monster import is fucking great, your car is looking sick. Once the lip is painted and if you pull the corners as well it will look 10x better

Thanks man! Haha dude I don't want to spill any thing on the new interior so import is the only way to go!! Haha. Might be a newb question but what do you mean by pull the corners?

Big improvement! I just swapped to plastics myself and am loving them.

thanks bro! I'm loving it! Was the rear hard for you or dd you have someone else cut the bumper? What did you use for a rear apron?

I drove up to vacaville today and me and danny threw on the front plastic bumper today. too much work for the other one for now.

took some time but with some persuasion we got the newly painted valence (which i thought i did an alright job on but it actually isnt amazing and also still needs to be polished) and the bumper (which hasnt been painted yet) on. turned out really good IMO. I love it.

we also took the time to put the IS lip I had laying around on the car and everything just makes it looke 10X better. thanks so much danny for helping me with the car. couldnt have done it with out you bud!

now on to the pics

just bumper and valence on, not finished yet.




iS lip, not painted yet but still looks clean.







threw on the 740 volvo lip I got a couple weeks ago at a P&P, once I got home. cut it quick and placed it on. need to do it right but had to get back to school so it is zip tied on haha











oh and got some vynal for the roundel from a bud earlier that day.



what do you guys think?

looks like a whole nother car.

the lip will be painted in due time. just need to take it back off but i already have the paint but i need sand paper, I will also wet sand and clean up the tails as well to make them Purty!
