I did it all myself. The person that was supposed to help me backed out at the last minute and I was like, I'm getting this stupid thing on. Well, it doesn't take two people to pull the bumper if you are careful. (just make sure you lay a blanket down on the ground so you don't scratch the bumper, and oh yea, you don't need to jack up the car either, or pull of the under bumper spoiler)

Anyway, here it is in all it's glory. For other pics, check out my members rides (link in sig). Tell me what you think.

Please tell me,

Do you guys think a black lower grill or a silver lower grill will look better? Thanks.

Well, if you don't plan on painting the grill, go ahead and get a black lower one to match it, I guess. Otherwise, get a silver one.

I am planning on that within the next couple of weeks. I have a friend who is basically a pro at it going to be helping me, because I usually screw stuff up like this.

Silver, but don't paint the inside of it. Just the outer rim. That will look the best IMO.

It was very late at night and I couldn't get my friend to come out there with me. Mainly because he was in California at the time, and I was here in Dallas.

Anyway, it's more fun to pull the bumper again to do it [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]. Yeah!! Anyway, it will be done soon.
