I am going to be taking off my whole front clip tomorrow and sanding it all down and priming it getting ready for the flares to be molded on. i was contemplating cutting up my bumper a bit to make it a little different.. my headlights and corner lense will also be tinted soon on the outside, and have about a 50% tint to them.

the new color of the tib will be a darker blue if that helps you with answering the question.


here is what i may do.


here is what it looks like now..


well i f***ed up the poll and it wont let me edit tha damn thing, so just say, change it, or leave it.. lol lmao.gif

I think it would look good without the center bar. You may want to look into doing something for the lower section to keep it from getting droopy over time though.

yeah, imma make some type of fiberglass reinforcement type frame for the bumper to keep it from drooping down, and take the weight off the middle of it.

TAKE IT OUT, that makes the bumper look alot better, shows the intercooler off fing02.gif

i dont see the middle droopin over time there isnt much weight to bring it down, but the reinforcement frame is always a good idea
