With time and money, anything's possible. Just a question of if you want to spend that time and the money, or just go with a route that you know looks good and is possibly cheaper in the long run.

It can be done if you're good with fiberglass. It's for sure not gonna be a trim and fit process.

Anyway, it can be done. Its just a matter of how confident are you in custom fitting fiberglass parts?

sadly theres nothing tasteful out there. I do have 3 lips from different cars I believe one is from a old saturn, another from a volvo and another from a vw. all 3 are too short and cant reach across the whole bumper.
