Saw this dude at the mall. that thing is hurting!!!!! It was parked outside Sears Auto. My guess: New front suspension. The springs were almost fully compressed. Jeesh...as comparison mine is parked there too.

I feel sorry for the owner, probably miss informed ,over charged, and cheating death with every mile. Looks like it would handle like hippo on stilletos.

LOL....yeah just keep an eye out for Star Jones!!!!


So with the pics....is he sagging or is it an optical illusion due to the fact that he has the wrong bumper mounted well below where it should be??

It is an um... interesting...setup but I the double turn signals aside, I kind of like the double fogs on the grill and the bumper, that is alright. Get that KJ a Frankie and he will do just fine.

it is definately sagging. the front springs were compressed almost to point of the coils touching eachother. i'll go bye again today and see if its outside again.

It think its looks a lot lower because that bumper is sitting below the fogs. The true 05 bumper would of been sitting higher and covering the fogs. Does that make sence?

i agree with wildrussian...the bumper SHOULD be sitting up about 4 more inches higher on the grille, but thats what what happens when you take a different bumper from a different model year!

I really sypathize for this person...who sold him this bumper? was he had?

But it did look like some kind LED bar. There were no stickers on it for first aid, firefighter or anything. my mind is boggled.
