Default New bumper installed!

Well I finally got the work done on my car today, 3 days seemed like forever to have it in rough shape. Looks good now though ...





And for the wide angle lovers:




I just realized also that my shoes look like scuffs on the bumper ... the white part in the middle. So happy she is back ... now on to the Supercharger.

Hit a transport tire on the LIE the other day ... like a fragment of one. It tore the center section of the front bumper out.

how much was the new one, mine is in "chipped" shape. Too many rock chips and decided to use some paste wax a couple months ago. now i have white wax in all the little specs in my front bumper that wont come out.

I got it from the dealership actually, it came the next morning and they are down the street so it was easier.

I had the body shop prime, paint and clear coat the bumper. They waste and waxed it up nice afterwards too so that was nice.

They are installing my lip next week. Just the RS1.

Yeah, they are on 25, right where it splits to 25A at the bottom of the hill.

They did a fantastic job. The guys name is Ziggy.
