@ 85GPL, thanks, you should get one! It's coming along slowly, but hopefully it comes out as nice as some of the ones in here

You and me both brother. I've been itching to do this for the past few weeks, which for me is a HUGE thing. When I want to do something on a car I just do it and don't stop till I finish. This is a whole new problem though. My car is "finished" so to speak. I would have to cut, fit, weld, body work, and repaint a finished bumper. I plan on using the heads up composite rear bumper. It's just too perfect not to use.

My issue with tucking the front is the lower air dam. Mine doesn't match the line the fender makes so I will have to push the bumper up and back an inch or so to cover both the fender and air dam area so I can remove the bumper filler plastic crap. Gotta think some more. :? haha
