Looking good so far! Can't wait to see how it turns out :thumbup:

Oh, and just because I have to...it's bumper, not bumber :)
If I could just figure out how to meld the Outback and the Neon into one car...

From what I hear, You will have a gap where the bottom of your headlights meet the bumper. 03+ headlights slope farther down than 00-02 headlights IIRC.

just throwing that out there, someone else on this board has done it though. Too lazy to search for pic though.

Who, the guy I posted a pic of? I'll be honest, I didn't read the thread I just looked at the pics, so that's possible. Either way, it can be done.

Looks kinda funny with the crash bar visible, but I do like how it looks on the 00-02 models.

Can't wait for more pics!

wow, that is worse than I thought it would be. Good luck with the fiberglassing. I'm thinking that you could make the headlights look semi-recessed by fiberglassing straight back and under the headlights, Ill try to explain what I mean in photoshop later.

Maybe you could ask EvilCreations or that guy with the blue SRT( I cant remember his name) what they did to make it work. Your gap looks worse that Evil's; but it could be the angle also.
