Bumper actually fit pretty good so no work was needed to get the bumper to fit to the car. My kurookie was absolutely terrible though. Had to cut and fiberglass to make it fit. And the bumper came with the car but was destroyed bad. A mobile paint place from what I was told painted it and jacked it up. Plus was cracked bad. So I stripped it and reworked it and molded the liscence plate cover in the first time. Then got the 05 lip and fit like crap so I molded it in. I actually like this better then my kurookie

Yea has water in them so wet sanding and buffing the lights won't help. Saving money for the retrofit headlights. Once that's done the outside besides paint the wheels gold will be done as far as purchasing

19" Rays, restored to presentable condition from seriously curb-chewed.

The fourth mod on a car I bought specifically to NOT mod.

Still to come - G/Z springs, Stop-Tech BBK, coupe exhaust. All parts sitting in my garage, just waiting for the time to do it.

Been awhile since I have posted. Got quit a few changes. I took my headlights apart and painted the inside black and wet sanded and buffed the inside and outside of the lights. Looks a little better but I still will most likely but some new ones.

Then I bought some new wheels. 20x10 +25 offset. Wheel brand is private. Konig actually makes them. Seem like pretty good wheels especially for what I paid for them.

Then decided to put my 25mm spacers up front. Stuck out a good bit so I got to work with my trusty eastwood fender roller. Had to roll and pull

I can now lower the front more. Also no special camber settings were needed. I am going to do the rears next. I will have to reprint my passenger quarter panel after though. When I bought the car the panel was crushed so I had to do body work and but will crack and the quarter panel at the wheel well.
