Yep.

It didn't fit at all and I spent a good 20 hours trying to make it fit with a long way to go. I still have it sitting on the side of my house if I ever get brave again... Doubtful.

BTW, it was nice meeting you last night Tim! Great car - it will look hawt with this bumper... I'll let you know next time I'm in Phoenix (probably sometime first quarter of 08)... And visa-versa, tell me when you're in LB again (we don’t have $8 pictures of beer for $17 though )



Yes! Poly please!!!!


It was great meeting you too! I'll let you know the next time I'm over in LB for more than just a day.

the side openings are too aggressive looking on that one. Rookie's is very subtle and almost OEM looking - exactly what I like about it.

Will do!

I come out to meet with the FAA near Long Beach airport at least a few times a year. Most of the time it is just a day trip but the last one was for 3 days.

Looks like we can't use the stillen plate adapter. The bar is too short.

That would be very easy to push out a little.
