More CF and New paint!! (56K Beware!!)
Sunday, March 01, 2009 4:01 PM
So. i decided to get up off my ass and do something about my slowly degrading front bumper. around christmas time my gf bought me a new front bumper. i didnt really need a new one. but i HATE stripping bumpers. and i do it all day at work. it sucks ass. so. anyways. i brought the bumper to my buddies body shop he has off the side and got to work. as you can see in the piks. my lip was in BAD shape. not from me. but from the previouse owner of the car. so. i began fitting the lip to the new bumper since you have to cut your own slots in the new bumper which was gay. and then i stripped the lip. from there. it got paint. so while the paint was drying i decided my fogs could use some dressing up also. so i had some leftover carbonfiber sheet left that i cut and fit to the fogs. i think it turned out VERY nicely. i also got my red valve cover installed this weekend also. anyways. let me know what you guys think. and yes. there is a very large dent on my fender. bothe fenders and the PS door are to be repainted shortly. thanks.

Car looks good, and I really dig the c/f fog light covers. I do agree the valve cover does look out of place, but hey if you like it then that's all that matters

Looks sweet man. While you were getting the bumper painted, might as well of gave him the valve cover to paint the same Indigo. Would of looked much better with the theme IMO. Looks good though.

looking great Josh!

The foglights look awesome,
as as well as the bumper, I like the gray.



but one quick question.



Where's your house key?

LOVE the valve cover! IMO I probably would've painted the grey parts of the bumper, but with the CF hood and fog surrounds, it actually doesn't look bad at all.

wow. thanks guys. as for the valve cover. you either hate it or love it. and I am the one who painted the bumper. i work in a body shop so i do my own work. and i did think about the cover being indigo blue. but i liked the red better. i can always go back and redo it later if i like. as for the gray the ONLY reason i left them is cause i thought it would look good with the Carbon fiber hood, fog bezels, and headlights. so thats why they went blue. anyways. keep up the good comments guys. it means alot. BTW. i shoul have some Drag DR-8's in 18's here pretty soon. they will be the gunmetal ones. just have to make a final decisionn on what i really want

It would be sweet to wrap the grey grill and fog surroundings in carbon fiber. I don't think I've ever seen it and wanted to do it when I had mine, someone jock my idea!
