    Jumped on the bandwagon --;

    Hey guys. Some of you know that I've been wanting to do a bumper swap. Well, I ended up doing everything myself like prepping and painting the whole front end. I learned a lot during the process... and here are the pics:

    The first week I bought the car:


    Now:





    crappy pics, took them in a hurry. I'm happy with the end results though!

      Did you paint the front end stuff using a spray can? How are the results? Is there a noticeable difference between the spray canned section and the other parts?

      I'm planning on repainting my bumper this summer.

        Front looks good, get the rear done and it will be that much better.

        Get a suspension on to. You could do a Sky Jacker commercial. Keep us posted

            Cool...well done!


            Are you going to get fogs or at least fillers? That would really complete the front end.

                Thanks guys, I'm probably going to get some iS sideskirts next. I'd like to do the rear bumper, but I'm not in the mood for the fabrication work atm.

                I painted the whole front end with spray cans. I got 138 zinno paint, and it matches pretty well. I can see a very slight difference but its only noticeable in certain light.

                I have fogs but I don't have the hardware for them, or the harnesses yet so that'll have to wait til this weekend.

                More to come soon!

                        Sorry, I don't have the bumper/valance/lip. I gave it to my brother YESTERDAY and it got ruined today lol. That's in my other thread xd.

                        Thx for letting me know about the groupbuy. Unfortunately prom is coming up so I dont have the funds for them right now. I graduate next month and i should get some money from my family. If its still up, il definitely buy them.
