i woke up to a good start...

and as im swithcing lanes omw to work i run into what seemed to me like an old-school aluminum running board off an old pick up!

FUCKED my front bumper assembly up FML

 

Dang that sucks, sorry to see that happen to you.

 

That blows, but look on the brighter side. You can get a new/different front lip now.

 

hot damn, anything else broken other than the bumper?

 

wow bro that sucks

 

well i went out there on my lunch and it looks like ima need a new fr bumper, fr lip, pass side fog light, and a bucket of bumper clips! i have a mugen rep grille i been meaning to paint and put on so now i guess ima have to just paint the whole fr bumper assembly. i can get a mugen front lip for $90 so its not a total wash out but fuck i didnt need the extra expense right now at all

 

i dont think that any of us need extra expenses like that.

 

all fucking fixed HA! i spent $40 between homedepot and autozone... fucking sweet save

 

hey come over and fix my fender i just scraped and dented! You are good and your bumper looks better than the original!!! Nice work!

 

wow great job painting that! how did u find the right paint?

 

haha well advanced auto parts happened to have 1 can of nhbp in stock! the paint is actually a little matted where i touched up but you cant tell in that picture taken via blackberry lol.

the damage was mostly isolated to the front bumper, so i took that off and removed the fogs and center plastic, expoxied a crack and a broken piece, sanded down the passenger side of the bumper and a couple other spots here and there, touched it up w/ the spray paint, and then did chicken wire mesh grille (painted black of course) behind the openings in the bumper. and finally finished it off w/ some depot garden plastic front lip action cuban enginuity at its finest HA

 

i wanna see more pics of that front lip action you have going on there.

 

hahaha ill take a couple more snapshots w/ my bb when i go to lunch! thats garden perimeter plastic btw. it has a rounded edge on one side and like a wierd double lip thing on the other which i had to carefully slice off w/ a fresh razor

 

hahaha thats pretty cool. +rep to you

 

 

looks dam good for what it is lol. high five.

 

ok here's some more pics





i used 3m double sided tape on the whole thing and a few short self tapping washer head screws evenly placed cuz in my experince w/ doubled sided tape... it nvr holds completely. and that mesh is for concrete application on wood, i painted it black w/ the same nhbp spray i used on the bumper
