Yes, very nice and clean... what did you use to cut the bumper skin?

I may change the angle on the sides at the wheel wells a bit and take it up some, just letting that look settle in and then go from there. Over all I am very happy with the look.


I wasn't going to say anything but since you mentioned it.... that would finish it off nicely!

Lookin' good!

Thank you, ok darn it thats it you have help make my mind up along with several others 8) . I will be changing the side angle a bit tomorrow since I have already eliminated the lower retainer and redrilled a new hole up further and am using a bolt instead of those christmas tree retainers. :wink:

So good looking , and neat work.
I want to do it too. You said used a 5" cut off wheel on a grinder?
And then what a Dremel type tool for the skin under the bumber?
Could you post the step by step procedure and other photos for us so I can get the confidence to do mine right and neat like yours?

:)

I would suggest using the tool you are most comfortable using. I used my hand held grinder because I use it every day at my job and know how to use. If someone isn't carefull using it, you will loose a finger or more. A dremel is more user friendly and I would also suggest trying your cutting techniques on something like the lower air dam before you start making final cuts along the bumper edge so you know how your tool will perform. I used a carbide cutting wheel because it is thin and moves very fast almost buring through the bumper. I also use the dremel for smaller at home hobby projects and I do know they make a smaller cutting wheel similar to what I used. No I did not use a dremel on my bumper. The pics I posted took me almost 2 hours to download and post...........I am still on dial up :cry:
I will post pics after I make my final cuts.......I am still not done or really happy with the final look of the side angles.
