Before

Still looks like ass but ALOT better than no bumper, when I get my t2 hood, I plan on an aftermarket unit w/ a big mouth, then it goes off to the body shop. This will suffice...

New ftps!!!





Will be using fine grit sandpaper to make it look shiner, got some other tricks.........

you can let the shop paint it that did the rest of your car,

they would probably only charge you $100-$150 to do that bumper

in white.



Maybe try some rattle can clear coat to get more shine.



your body shop is probably

going to charge you extra if you ever decide to get that bumper painted as they will want to strip off that spray can finish.

or you can get paint mixed into a spray can with the same paint code as the rest of hte car...



i would wet sand that then shoot it again with the special mixed up paint.



then polish and maybe try clear coat in a spray can.

Yea thats what I figured, this is only a temporary deal, I want an aftermarket front end with a big mouth for a FMIC.... Then it will be painted https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

It was smashed, covered up by the old bra, I also broke the side parts when removing it last year.. I was planning on a new bumper back then... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png
