Chopped the front corners to fit the flares. Ditched the rubber moulding since I am known for the electrical tape moulding. :D Can't stand the rust. I am having the bumper blasted and redipped this month. Not too shabby. Yeah?

Thank you! I've always wanted to see a pic of a euro rear bumper but on a US model. I dunno man looks weird. I think if I did that I'd get a piece of metal welded in for a rear valence and take out those two hooks, don't know if thats your plan or not. Kinda cool how it looks bare tho "like a machine" haha

it looks like Barry's rear valence is nearly chopped in half (it normally extends just below those tow hooks)....it kind of reminds me of some old school hot-rods, where the diff is in pretty plain site.

i kinda like it.....something about being able to see the diff just seems mean looking. But i think it will look better once you get it dipped....

Barry you can have the euros sandblasted and colormatched..i got prices to get mine redipped and I got sticker shock!! :embarrasm AS much as getting a new set around these here parts...

The look is ok...but if you got a rear euro vallance, or fabbed up a complete modified USA one,I think it would look more complete...

Looks pretty cool!


PS: You need more meat to fill out those turbo flares.

he cut part of the valance off, thats why it looks like that, was in a thread not too long ago. Anything that gets rid of diving boards is good :)

No, by meat I meant he needs wider tires. I'm not talking about the valence.

Bumper looks good, but can't you do a little bit of creative metalworking and make yourself a rear valence? I am sure with some sheet metal and ingenuity you could make it look pretty good.

Like jason said, I kinda like the bare half valance in the sense of that little bit of "hot-rod" styling.

I will have to drive my new car to go inspect it in person... I am sure matt would be down to come check it out.
