okay let's see.
DIY 2nd Gen TL lip project obviously.
but what's with the missing shit where the garnishes and that horizontal bar thing usually are? are you mesh grill-ing it or something?
more pics please lol

guessing you have something in mind to support the lower bar/added lip.

Oh dont you worry, It will all come together probably this weekend... Then, you will see what I'm after.

Everything will be molded smoothly with this flexible bondo stuff i found. Its made especially for bumper molding and anything that flexes...

One More pic:




Dont you worry though. Dont think that I am tearing apart my existing good bumper!

This was my OEM bumper. And if you really think about it, it still is. It has the VIN number on it still. As for the the other bumper, I got it off of Craigslist and the TL lip from s5nake5

I hope you know what it's going to look like when it's all done, cause I sure as hell don't. Good luck with it, though.

put the bumper down, take a step back, and look at what you are doing... it's going to look like a mobile smiley face.
