those blank panels on the bumper
 
since it was really nice out yesterday, I decided to break out the dremel and do work. is it finished? nope. i ran out of time and needed to go to school. But it has a neat look from a distance. I need to get those burrs off it...:emotions122:

you should grab some black screen door and cut the piece to a full hole then use the screen door behind it...

JDMJim 03-12-2010 01:24 PM

thats what i am thinkin too. I'll also say that yall complain there ain't sh!t for our cars. Sorry, but I'll innovate this stuff since no one else will...love it or hate it.

x2cafn8dx 03-12-2010 01:29 PM

I like it.. I do think that you should put some lighting behind them to make it stand out

TheLittleDeviant 03-12-2010 02:49 PM

well wait jim, if you want to get innovative,may I suggest something else then?

Remove the piece entirely, cut off the tabs on the bumper that hold it on, then get some mesh grilling from Home Depot, and glue it onto the bumper from the back side of it, so you wont see the glue and you have mesh grills instead of the plastic ones that it came with... let me get you a picture of when I did mine, final product to look like this:

i don't care for the mesh look. i even painted the mesh on my bumper for the xB black to hide it. I don't really like the grill overlays that are available. don't know why i would put a light in there. it's function, not Fast and Furious. i thought about cutting the lip in there completely, but seeing the fender liner was weird. but for now, it's gonna lok like that. I'm headed to Japan for a week and I will think about how to finish it.

why is that orange stuff about to cave in on the xD????


MOVE THAT THING, SAVE THE CAR!!!!

I'm guessing you have never seen tents like that before lol.

JJGeneral1 03-14-2010 10:20 PM

sarcasm and joking. i think when they added .com and LOL to webster's, they had to make room, and delete the first two mentioned.
