Kuruma bumper installed on DG

Bumper is on and painted. I'm over an hour late to work, so this will be quick. Fitment...it's pretty good. It needs work to the left clear corner section and right fender liner. I'm pretty pissed because I thought this was going to be cake, but it turned out to be a B...female dog. I still have a lot of owrk to do for the bunper, but I wanted it on today!

98intrigue, can you take some shots of the side of the front to see how it matches with stock skirts?...and you dont have the OEM splash guards right?

As a side note, I know when taking the stock bumper on and off, sometimes it's a PITA to get it to line up again. This bumper looks like it may just need a lil trial and error in tightening the 4 bolts that hold the bumper up. We had to play with it a bit on a stock bumper to get it back they way it came from the factory.

The bumper had TONS of little wholes everywhere, so there are notieable in the paint. (I'll take more pictures later). The paint matched well during the day, but it is pretty bad at night. So I think I may take the bumper back to the shop to have it repainted.

The fender lines are off because I didn't take my time on it to tighten all the bolts. I still need to drill the wholes on the bottom of the bumper that attach the bumper to the plastic undercarriage.

I really don't know what I'm going to do about the left clear corner. There is no way in hell it is fitting in there...

I bought the mesh for the Greddy bumper from Custom Auto Mesh. I still need to take the bumper off and put the mesh on and do everything 100%, but that may be awhile since I want it repainted.

The bumper is maybe 1/2 inch lower or so compared to the stock sides...I may end up buying the splash guards to accompany this problem.

I'll take more pictures once I'm at home.

Looks nice. Yeah I had a TON of pin holes. The ****ty part is glaze really doesnt want to stick so I have a few left also after paint. Did you have any cracks are anything? I had a couple.
