/thread jack, sorry acey

 

Uhh... Well im stumped. Is that just the skin? Maybe those fold up to hold the foam or something in... But I have no idea.

 

ya thats my new bumper skin. thats what the grille is going on. my current bumper does not have those so i might cut them off. it could be from the moulding

 

I tried to look at my bumper but my hand doesnt fit behind the bumper to feel it bcus of my heat exchanger. And F1 is just starting so I don't have time to back the car out of my garage and jack it up so I can fit my head under the car to look.

Molding sounds like the most probable reason.

 

Yeah my bad, I didn't see where you said "grille", which is why I said,

Though I don't see what this has to do with anything.

 

i had you all confuzzled. the lips are on my mod list though. i should post it for other to throw ideas at me

 

The lips are easy if you've ever taken your bumpers off, or have ever used a dremel. I'd used a dremel one or twice for maybe 30 seconds, and not with the cutting tool. Whole bunch of 10 and 7 mm screws, and annoying push pins. You should take a flashlight and take a pic of your rear lip, I'm curious to see how they attached it.

 

of my stock lip? i would like to see that too actually. ill go do that. but im pretty sure i know how to take a bumper off. just a few bolts and pins. but ill go get those pics

 

Yeah. It's just bolts and pins. But some of those pins are in there so tight the first time (that's what she said) it took me a while to get them out without breaking them. Still, it takes a while take it off, cut all the slits in it, force the lip on there, put it back on, and adjust.

 

i gotta do my fender and hood as well. im doing it myself, so i dont have to pay a shop for labor lol

 

here is the picture you wanted. it held in with clips.

 

bump for acey

 

Mmkay? lol. The thread is basically for me to keep track of what mods I did at what time. I don't care if people see it, I'll bump it when I have a new pic to post.

 

^^^goddamn those rims are ugly.

 

i like it dude. idk why but i like those rims

 

Meh. They weren't my first choice. But they're polished, which I like... and the price was good. I have some buddies who do not hesitate to tell me when something on the car is ugly, and everyone likes them so far. Knock on wood.

 

i've always like those rims and they just work with the car. looks good man.

 

Thanks man.

 

i like it, it has come a long way props to you bro

 

Thanks man. Boost to follow, hopefully... if the car survives to next year.

 

Everything looks great, well done sir. The wheels work, it may have something to do with the color of the car but it all fits. There are now two 2.4's with those wheels. The other one is red and has chrome accents which seem to make the wheels work as well. Now you have finally conquered wheel gap, congratulations!

 

Yeah the car looks so much better lowered. That should have been my first mod from day one. The stock wheel gap is a joke.
