That looks like bondo...or something to fill the bumper to line up with the 02-03 headlights.

its unsanded bondo, since the front of the bumper was originally all rounded, we are adding the slight edge that is sceene on the 02/03 bumper right below the headlights to break up the roundness.

well tonight when fitting the grill we found that the bumper was slightly further out on the drivers side so the grill when streight, was off a hair or 2, so we had to builed up that side a lil


but now it fits fine! we will be finishing it and painting it friday night!

Is it me or is it that center lower opening off. It looks smaller on one side. You see more of the bumper support.

just so you know, the opening of the bumper IS off. i aligned the car in the frame, then drew lines to compare the bottom of the bumper, the bumper support, and the bumper opening. hope this helps you out. it does look really awesome though, good work.
