    tucked

    While waiting around in a parking structure I decided to tuck my front bumper with the help of my buddy and a wall.

    I think i did a decent job. i pre drilled the shocks and drained them like a week ago.

    it was a fun experience. initially when i bumped the wall the right side tucked and the left popped out so i changed angles and then the left would tuck and the right would pop out. after get frustrated i just bumper the wall a bit harder. heard a crunch and bam tucked bumper :)

    heres the outcome :D and yes i need a wash

          wow is tat the rear put onto the front?? look super clean. i really wish i could paint them but even if i did my car still would not look as appealing. on top of that i bought a valance and its white so its all mismatched at this point.

            No it's not my car :) Here is the build thread:


            I believe that's a euro bumper trim, no rear put onto the front.

                  no joke but I think you can tuck them more. It looks like the shocks still have fluid in them.
                  feedback?!

                    looks like a clean tuck. Just be careful not to tick too much or getting to the bolts to take the bumper off can be a huge PITA. Honestly I think you've done a properly good tuck.

                    What color is your car by the way?

                        i would if i could take the passenger side shock out to properly compress in a vice but as i was unbolting the bumper shocks i found that one of the nuts were rounded and i wasnt able to get them off. sooo i drilled and used a wall. kinda scared to go any harder into a wall.

                        acutally in the process of trying to get an even tuck i was able to pull the bumper out with ease so hopefully itll be easy once i do a valance swap this week. and as for the color its from a PO and its flaking maaco blue

                            haha ok I'll take that back. I was thinking about late model bumper trims.

                              Its all good, might wanna just refrain from posting if your not 100% sure about something though. Wrong info sucks.

                              Even if it were plastic bumpers, the whole topic of this thread wouldn't make any sense. Also euro plastic bumper trim is just the side marker delete, not the front turn signals.
