Step 1: Remove swapped bumpers
Step 2: install swapped bumpers

What is there for a how-to?

Good idea, but that came out hella shitty. Angle is off, it's almost pointed down, and it's waaayyy too far over to the left. Did you get to go into the bay with them while they mounted that up? :/

Lmao. I mean if you're comfortable with it, then rock it. I based my angled can off that silver SRT you posted, then I swapped to an 03 w/ lip and cut it to look rolled. It'd be even easier on a '00 rear because you're not limited to any lines. Bend a hanger or wrestle it around to tuck up more and it'd solve a few of the weird positioning problems. Let it melt a cutout for you, or cut a tiny one with a dremel so it looks deliberate haha.

The dude with that red srt must've been dropped on his head as a kid, then once again when he was older just to make sure he was retarded.

I told you not to buy a gay rice cannon. Now your car looks like total shit.

Enjoy getting laughed at driving around.

One lucky person will be getting a new R/T rear section though!

I think you should drop the car, but not really digging the blue

from what i understand the 2000 is the most difficult. i believe it has to do with the clutch and whatnot

the firewall is different. You will need to cut holes. Also, the wiring is different so you will need an entire donor car to get it done. not impossible, but more challenging than 03+ swap
