Default All i want for christmas are my 2 front teeth!!

bought a new house...driveway isnt as friendly...or maybe i was too low...but yea the bumper finally gave away...surprisingly the middle piece was still held on by a screw i put in with a metal strip to hold it sturdy. hahaha



soo...i have the stock bumper back on till i can either fix it or paint the vertex rep front bumper i have laying around with already painted sides and rear...




its weird having a lot of clearance again...

My suggestion, just get a lip that you can take on and off from your '97 bumper. I do it all the time because my driveway has a dumb steep drop that at no matter the angle, I scrape. I even scrape with a 95 bumper by itself.

Is it a single car driveway? My parents house back in the day was the same way. It lead to a 4 car garage. I just could never get enough angle on it. I can get up anything now.

i was going to take the stock sc4 lip i have on my other sc and do that mod to the bumper...or just paint my vertex bumper and put it on along with the side skirts and rear bumper i have laying around.
