tas_ae71 Posted February 27, 2007 Author Report Posted February 27, 2007 it looks abit sprinterish from some angles... i like it very much, better than cut down stock bumpers... mine is zippie tied on so it wont provide any resistance if i hit something (wild life) and you have to cut quite a bit out of them to make hem fit. ive spent a few hours with the angle grinder to make it fit and it still could use more work... will get sum pics soon Quote
leigh Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 Sounds intersting! But we need the pics!!! :) haha Quote
