New bumpers on!! jsmithsole is back on!!

Well I finally got my bumpers on, Deadbolt and myself decided to wait to post pics until after yesterday's meet. So here we go...

I have to give props to my bodyshop, Angry Panda Fabrication. Dave took this bumper under his wing and made it look amazing!! He sharpened all the lines and straightened everything that was off. All in all it turned out incredible!!! Thanks guys!

I also got a new 07 bumper, had that painted and got my headlight buffed out professionally (they look like new finally!!)

I bought some PIAA Deno LED driving lights from Japan. I am not completely satisfied yet ad they are not as bright as I had hoped. But as I drove last night, they are very bright. I was just hoping for that daylight bright Audi style but I can deal I guess. I also replaced the lower mesh with mesh that matches my upper grill. They blasted all the metal and painted it all along with the frame of the grill. He painted it all semi-gloss black. He also did a great job with filling the gap along the bottom part of the grill.

I'll the the pics speak for themselves.....

New back bumper, no more "pole rash"!!!!

I still need to re mount this side, the lines are a bit off...

The shop added the stock fenderline back in and then faded it out as it goes down...

Some detail pics:

Not my cup of tea, the hole in the front seems too deep. Maybe if the mesh wasn't all the way in there it would give it different look.
