Looks good man were did you get that bar from? I like that style and I have the same lip.

beady1 · 07-07-2013, 02:32 PM

The bar is just the factory grille I painted it red

Yeah I never liked that lip lol. It's all good though, it takes time to save and buy stuff. When you have enough get the M3 bumper from eBay. I bought mine for $350 shipped and since you do the painting, it's an easy solution for you.

Yeah lip was only 60 so I figured I'd do it for the hell of it damn paint costs a lot tho. Prices Just keep going up.

Not a huge fan of the lip, but nice work painting it yourself. I'd love to know how to DIY paint.

beady1 · 07-11-2013, 02:06 PM

Thanks! Not the first thing I've painted. Lol. I've done a bunch of while cars and lots of bumpers etc. Not to hard to learn but expensive shit if u were to mess up lol. Just gotta have the right equipment and the know how.

I loved this style when I saw it on ebay as well and bought it. 79 shipped? Hell yeah ! Got the bitch painted for like 50 bucks from a friend and slapped it on ! Oh boy was that fitment off ! I had to cut some areas for it to fit in some places, and it just looked so butchered. It stayed on for a few weeks before I ripped it off from embarrassment and bought my M bumper.

Paint looks great, but I see some stress cracks in the polyurethane, I had the same thing

fitment looks much better than mine, and you don't have the cut outs that I had to do. Looks good, but pictures are deceiving, my car looked decent in pictures and like a Honda civic in person.

beady1 · 07-13-2013, 06:37 PM

There is maybe 3 stress cracks not very noticeable. I paid 60 shipped. Fitment was perfect fit perfectly snug didn't even have to cut anything.
