Look at the reflection of the paint on your bumper and then look at the reflection of the paint on your hood and fender. Can you notice how distorted and messy the reflection is on your front bumper compard to the rest of your car?

I can kind of see it, yea. From what my body guy said, everything will be perfect when he gets finished. I can trust him, and i guess ill just have to wait until then to really decide on what to do.

Dude, the bumper looks great. Don't pay attention to anyone else, it looks fine.


Nice choice!! I wish mine looked that good. If there is rippling (doubtful) you can barely see it, if at all. If you think it looks good that's all that matters.

I prefer the fake J's bumper over the authentic half-lip. The fully moulded look is better IMHO.

Your body should should be able to take care if any issues you might have, so I wouldn't worry about it.

(BTW -- Just lose the badge completely. Badgeless is the way to go.

Looks good, nothing is wrong with it that can't be fixed.

Now you just need to paint those headlight inserts and put some clear corners in.

Thanks guys. I talked to the guy whos working on it for me. He said all the ripples, the fitment, the paint, everything will be perfect when he gets it done. Also, i want to go badgeless, but i have to take off the s2k badges (not a problem) but the rear will be a problem. The trunk has holes in it if im correct right? I would have to get those filled in and have it repainted. Anyone have a suggestion for a temporary solution?
