withdrawn from use (lineup)

my attempt at lining up my skirts/lips

is there a way to mold the front lip on the bumper lower than its meant to be mounted?

i ask this because the rear lip matches the skirts nicely, but the front lips still quite high.

oh yea, my car is on "withdrawn from use"- meaning it is not insured.

639 for six months surely beats 1300-something for six months.


^ this says ____________? (one of the guys at my job (el salvadorian) put this
on my back, the last day of work since my operation) - i think it says he (chucho=
my nickname @ work) is for sale because he is ugly!!

im thinking of slicing the bumper in half horizontally, and then using fiberglass to

add about 2inches of gap. any other ideas?

^ i wouldnt go with that, too much hassle and it definitely wouldn't turn out that great IMO

i would seriously suggest going with stock sides, you'll be surprised how nice it turns out when they're painted and matching

yeah seriously. way too much work to cut and fiberglass. although, it will be unique. i think in the long run it will turn out for the worse too.
