My LS evo mod

Just wanted to see what you guys thought on what I did this week while I was off from work.....



I know that it looks ALOT better on an SS bumper but I dont feel like spending almost $1000 on an SS kit so i'd rather just deal with what I have since i'd rather save my money for a s/c kit.......

Hmm, doesn't look that bad, it's different.

I think if you were slammed on coilovers, it'd look better.

Well IMO I think just the top cross bar looks kinda weird I like it the way I did it actually thought of going wider at bottom of bumper to where it starts to drop on both sides and run it up to the top of the grille
