This is freakin' insane, read all of this the other day, fantastic build!

Damn! Just when I thought this car couldn't get any better and you go and do something like this! I love this aggressive street style and the gram lights look great.

Came for this.
Was NOT disappointed.

Incidentaly I lived in the 'Burg for 7 years.
Just moved a year ago.
I'm suprised you don't have any pics at the graffiti wall behind Hub Bub.

In for updates.

Loved seeing it at sowo, man. The lines in the lip flow so good with the skirts! Killed it, as usual.

Yo dudes!
SoWo's over and after scrambling hard as fuck to get my bumper all finished, I got it 90% of the way!

So to update you where I left off on the build:
Used an ass ton of fiberglass to make it stronger and merge the two portions together and it's starting to look even better. A huge thank you to my friend Sean who taught me some awesome fiberglass techniques and helped me from the very start of this bumper.



Then started the filler. Oh joy...
This one picture doesn't even begin to do justice to the amount of work it took. I wanted to put as little filler on the bumper as possible, and in doing so I kept making high spots, and low spots, and sanding down my work I had already done.



Luckily, a good buddy of mine who does bodywork professionally had been over helping me at Sean's house and told me to hit him up if I needed help- which I did. I called my friend Gomez and in about 2 4 hours sessions he perfected and fixed what it took me 3 full days to do.



So now this baby was all but done! I did a coat of darker grey and a little touch up work on the drivers side and ziptied that fucker on for SoWo!
With the lip on it hangs low as hell. Ripped it off twice on the way down, and once on the way back- putting a huge crack in my lip.
Oh whalez!






All that's left to do is repair the lip, wrap the bumper, and build some tabs out of fiberglass to make it fit the car a little tighter. I might start doing more bodywork on the fenders and stuff, so it might start to look works before it gets better. hahah

looking good!
