As always, was a good time working on your car Casey! I hope the plasti-dip holds up to the abuse of your mountain runs. That bumper looks even meaner in person than in pics.

 

Not bad! I'll admit I wasn't a fan of the idea, I just wanted you to bring the outer grill inserts back to the normal black. What happened to the inner grill on the bumper though? Keep that radiator safe!

 

I like the outcome. Great job

 

I yanked that grill thing, it was just completely falling around in there. I would say that 90% of the tabs/posts/clips were broken, and it was causing more harm than protection. Its funny, nearly every single fin on the lower half of my radiator is flattened. I'm not sure what went on with that radiator, but it seems like it's still working.

 

looks bad. Real bad.


if you don't have the money to Mod, don't Mod.
looks much better in stock form.. sorry.

 

The little money that I do have is invested in purposeful parts (i.e, suspension and tires). Feel free to check the link to my car domain page for my mods list. Lots of money invested. Perhaps more than the salvage title 130k mile car is worth.

There is no purpose putting a nice front bumper on a car that is driven the way I drive it on the roads and in the conditions that I drive it. Feel free to check out my youtube video for a bit more info on what I'm talking about there.

This isn't a "hella flush" or "stance" show car. It's purpose built to carve mountains, launch airborne off ramps, pound through potholes/dips, and smash through four legged creatures that don't have the brains to move out of the way. I drive!

Unfortunately, my stock front bumper form looked far worse than stock, due to huge chunks of pain missing, and mis matched touch up paint. This is an improvement because of the color uniformity at the very least.

 

 

kinda looks like a whale shark but I can dig it.

why do you have Alpine speed stars and not Akina speed stars on the side?

 

Horrible...... Sometimes things are better left as ideas.

 

It's the name of my driving crew. One of the roads we drive on is called alpine road.
