So, I'm sure some of you remember the bumper project a while back on my white car...

Well then the bumper was swapped to the other car and I leant it my little brother....leading to this.

Blessing in disguise I guess....sort of...(keep telling myself that anyway) but thanks to Kalvin and his loaner bumper cover I can start over.

Opening up the sides more and installing some fogs from an 00 XC. Hoping when its done it turns out similar to this....but with my FMIC stuffed in the middle

More to some...but the cutting starts this weekend.

Did you order matching paint this time?

I'm "X to the P" and I've been pimped...

I use www.airbagit.com for air ride and www.motorsport-tech.com for custom adapters and I like them both

Can't wait to see finished pics of this, how much cutting/fabbing work is needed to make it work?

Did you see the build thread for the first version? Hardly any cutting for that. Not much more cutting for this version....but its a bit involved to put the 2 pcs together.
