Hello!
currently working on the headlights right now, but I know bumpers are going to be coming up quickly. I have been looking around for a while now, and Vince says he hasn't had any come by lately, so I decided to come right to the experts! I am planning on backdating my bumpers to the chrome ones, and I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions on who to talk to to find them? also if any of you have already backdated your bumpers, leave any tips or things you wish you did here! |

I have to disagree with the good Dr. on this issue; dump those BUB's (Big Ugly Bumpers) and convert to the beautiful, much lighter, early bumpers. Probably drop 100 pounds (give or take) of weight in the process. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I did mine in one day, just before it went to the paint shop! The difference in handling was instantly amazing! It's all about what you want from YOUR car! |
