Some of you may or may not remember what I did to my poor car few months ago:

Needed new bumper and hood, heres the VIS:

Easy install and a good purchase, stock hood 36lbs VIS 16lbs


Now for the bumper...picked up the E.D. Vadar 2. The fit of the bumper?....well take a look:
Here is Jay (Blacktibby00) sanding away

more sanding

more sanding

As you can see here it sits WAY far from the headlights.

Its going to be a long process I think. Gonna have to fill in the headlights I guess somehow. Its like the whole bumper is way wider than the car....oh well get what you paid for.


Hopefully will look good when done. smile.gif

It's good to see that your car is better now. Not talking about the new bumper. I hate that bumper!!
I had that bumper, and same fitment issues cause it was from the same place i bought it from. Be prepared to see a lot of stress cracks, specially around the corner lights.
Other than that, you are getting same stuff that i have/had. Same VIS hood, and same ED bumper which i thew away cause of a lil accident i had and it was useless after that. I didnt like the fitment around the headlights, it drived me crazy looking at the headlights like that. I hope yours turns out better.

Ironic you should say that.....it was seeing you car that made me get this bumper. 02.gif
Lol, sorry about that. you should of searched before you bought nana.gif
We have a lot of threads saying that that bumper with the Veilside nock off kit from ED are not good. I personally said it was not good and that i had it. Crappy fitment and such. It's not nothing it cant be fixed but it will cost you a little.
Personally i recomend you do all the work your self, like the filling in the head light area. Then take it for paint.
Good luck with it though, and watch out for the pott holes.

lol, I didnt fill them actually, the bodyshop only coverd them with this kind of rubber around them and glued the rubber. It wasnt notisable but i didnt like it.
I had told them to fill them with FG but they said they couldnt do it so they did the ruber thing, so i hated it more >
