AEeighty6, what process did you use to fuse the bumpers together? Fiberglass? I figured since you ride low wouldn't it crack the mold if you scrape it?

the GS with the AMG bumper/sides/rear is from royalflush.

oh i do but i doubt they will ever come to fruition on someone doing them....the base model car they come from is a very high dollar car. im sure the mirrors are uber expensive. Wald made them for the Jaguar X350

The bumper was done by Dreamakers Kustoms in NY...I know he used some kind of plastic sealer glue thing lol...I was scared of it cracking as well but DK did a great job of reinforcing all the right spots...I also want to know more about that AMG Royal Flush GS!...its very nice!
