Alright guys this should both let you know what im doing and maybe give you a laugh as well. Tonight I went out to find some fabrics for some misc stuff im doing with the car, and really didnt see anything I liked. On my way home I decided to stop at a couple body shops, well I decided to stop at their dumpsters anyways...

Didn't your mother ever teach you that if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all? Mine neither so fuck off :wave-finger:
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Anyways just trying something different, and If i cant get the fascia to work at all It could also be used to make a nice lip for the stock fascia. Work starts tommorow at dawn.

Yeah that pic makes it look kinda funny. It looks like the fascia is way too wide, in fact its just right. Some trimming will need to be done to the middle and some fiberglass added to fill in the gaps around the headlights.

Lol well today in the daylight it seems the bumper isnt as close of a fit as I thought and would be too much fiberglassing for me to do being a nub and all. I am now dremeling the hell out of it!

So is taking a pile of dog shit and smearing it on a hood and saying it's a custom paint job.

I know it's not that bad but still.

don't forget about the dude from canada.... the one with the ghetto garage bumper (i think thats what it was) the bottom half of his front/rear bumper belonged to other cars.
