You should have no problem getting that trade, but I'd maybe get the paint off of your grille or do it black or something. Better chance of moving IMO.

paint comes of very easy .. but that would be the choice of the one who wants to trade ;)

i hope to get this trade fast .. i really doubt for a long time .. but sinds i have the dodge emblem on the back .. and wanting a black grill .

i know i wont feel sorry after a while .. dodge is more populair here than chrysler , there with you guys its the other way around :P

:/ someone is joking here .. b.l.a.c.k is the grill .. but if you write b.l.a.c.k it turns to g.r.e.e.n. on the site ... april fools :))

I've only painted a few things, but I hear thick layers are a recipe for disaster. Otherwise, looking good mate.

I just put Boogers in my SRT and they made a huge difference for me also. Everything is super stiff. The lip looks good! Awesome that you tinted the third brake light :D

ok time for new updates with the pic's to proof :)

i bought myself an civic type r lip from an e-bay like www.
the thing was that it was broken in the corner so it cost me 30 euro's or 25 dollar :D

been busy today and look what i ve done in 4 hour :D

first of .. sawed the top lip of and shortend it.

Image

then i begone bending the thing with a little help of a small torch .. works like a charm :D
just heat it from the inside en start bending it slowley ;)

after that i had to make it one piece again.
the trick how ive done that issss .

Image

and heres the trick to keep it strong ( used special cleu btw )

Image

those liitle blue plates are there to make the whole thing a bid strong ... and works fine ...
want proof ???? ok heres the proof ... 30 min after glueing it.

Image

it fits soo thight ... it hangs by itself :D yeah baby ;)

heres the old crack ive glued.

Image

and here i pic that shows how nice the fit is ;)

Image

ok so im gonna paint it later this day, and tommorrow it'll be in place and instaled.
