I really like that color as well as the height you are sitting at. I have that kit sitting around too but all the examples I saw were fully slammed so I never knew what it would look like with an actual useable height.

How did you get the front bumper to fit? I tried the flipping crash bar upside down method and it didn't work-I am not sure I want to completely remove it either.

First you have to make sure the inside of the bumper is smooth. Any flash and it won't fit right.

-Remove metal bumper
-Remove bumper brackets
-Invert brackets and swap sides, bolt them back on using only the upper studs through the lower holes. You lose some strength this way, but the bumper is now higher on your lowered car, so I figure maybe it evens out?
-Metal bumper should now mount inverted
-Check to see if kit fits, probly won't. Wiggle the bumper side to side so you get a paint transfer on the inside of it to see where it hits.
-Take metal bumper back off and use sledge or press to "adjust". Probly need to hammer it within 6" of the ends since the new bumper is more curved.
-Should barely fit now.

Love the colour, but that's about it. Not a fan of the fab style kit or the grille and wing.
