ive been trying but its not as easy as it looks. trying to get the top folded and getting the curve of the grill are prolly the hardest part. besides that, its prety str8 forward.

Default my buddy did it to his silver xb.

you have to do it right or it will come out looking bad. so take your time and make sure every corner fits perfect or your going to be able to notice

Here is a rough start to my buddies ripped off front bumper. We used mesh from hope depot and a bar for more stability. We still need to straighten the angles, sand, and paint the grill. I think it looks pretty good considering the damage. I am also about to put some mesh on the xb when i finally get it back from the shop.

Oh yeah and you can click on the pic to make it bigger.
What do yo u guys think?

I didn't really need to cut, because the bottom of the bumper was already ripped off so we just trimed it back on both sides and ruff sanded it. We still need to go back and square everything up and paint the insides of the edges white.
