Well, I would show some close-up pics, but I don't want you guys to see what a ****ty job I did...Just kiddin. I did do a crappy job, though. But it was the trial install and I haven't had a chance to redo it. Next time I am going to take off the bumper cover and fiberglass them on or something. Here are some pics of how I did it. It only works on 95-96's, though. I just cut around the edge of the bumper where the paint and the black meet. There's a little crease there, and with a good knife, you can cut it fairly easily. Just make sure you cut into the black, and not the body color. I then bent the aluminum mesh and cut it where I needed to to get it to fit in the gap I cut in the bumper cover.

In the above pic, you can see where the bottom section is starting to sag. You can't see any defects when you walk by, though. They are too far back to be seen, and the little "ledge" the bumper makes hides them.


Here's another close up. You can see the cut I made to the bumper cover. I didn't cut the entire top piece. I left some areas still attached so that it wouldn't sag like the bottom did,


And here's what it looked like right after I did it. Looks pretty good when the Aluminum's all nice and shiny!

hey slickismax, your mesh on the bumper is going in two different directions. the pattern looks a little weird with the top not looking like the bottom. on mine i did the same thing at first but caught it half way through..
