      I would do the back bumper right now, but I already put a deposit on a Euro Valence so I'll get the valence next, then euro fogs, then rear bumper.
      I'm hoping you bought the m-tech time pieces. It isn't an end all, but it looks like you are trying to do it right.
      When the valance goes between the bumper and the trim, the trim gets pushed out a little and the mtech pieces are longer to keep gaps from showing.

      This of course assumes that you meant you are getting the valance that goes between the bumper and the trim and not just a valance (like what you have now) that goes behind the bumper.

      BTW very pretty looking. I wish I had gone with new ones back in the day, but the cost at the time wasn't worth it to me.

        When you work your way back, a euro rear fog would really complement that car's euro-ness.

            Ya i know all about that. The mtech trim is only for tech 1 valences. Im just getting the regular valence that accomadate fogs, and yes I will be getting fogs

            what?

            that makes no sense...
            That makes total sense. just my opinion though, do whatever you want

                to me when you rice out a car, you focus on aesthetics. albeit shitty aesthetics, its still the appearance of the car. which is what you said you're focusing on. that's the only thing i didn't understand. :D

                  i love it and i followed the thread. well read all 11 pages ( i think that is how many it was) how much was the overall cost of the bumper? i know you had to find the corners on ebay so it might differ some but i just want to get a rough estimate of how much it might cost for me to do the same.

                    buying parts just OEM it would be around $500-$600

                    I spent about $350 or maybe $300 i didn't keep track
