TCII's...what size and offset?? i thought those weren't available in our sizes/offset
They aren't, that's why the stick out all crazy in those pictures. And I'm afraid I have to agree with a few other points. THe intake hole looks like a Dremel job, and the paint doesn't match.

Why not just buy a new bumper?

-The bumper is too width at the fenders.
-The color doesn't seem to match the hood and the fenders.
-The hood doesn't line up correct with the fender and hood.

But you have put allot of effort in it.
And as long as your happy with the result.. That's the most important thing!

Thanks Guys for your comments....

Regarding the rims... they are NOT TCII.... they looks like TCII

The size is 7,5 all around the car.

Regarding the color... I know it looks little difference in color. But its matter of time and the color will be the same "hope so"

Finally... even me I give 95% for the allover work

BUT you should know that the original bumper was totally damaged & difficult to repair...

I'm really satisfied from the result.... the car looks really nice.

Thanks again...

I'm glad I finally saw the finished product! It's been a long time.

Mr Bondo has incredible skills! I don't think you should have accepted the bumper until he got the intake duct right, though.

It's extremely difficult to butt-match painted panels. The panels around the bumper need to be blended.

The burning question is- "What did the bumper work cost in American dollars?"

The guy did a pretty amazing job. Only things I don't like are the air intake hole and the paint match.

Nice work, but my only two gripes are pretty much the same as everyone else's: The paint doesn't match quite right, and the intake hole definitely needs improvement.

I'm thinking this would have made the intake vent much smoother looking: Alex Intake Air Duct
