i dont really want to do a body kit. Id rather upgrade my stock front bumper to something original of my own creation (if youve seen it before i guess its not my creation but this image is anyways). I messed with photoshop a little and took a picture i found of a stock gs and created this. Let me know what you think.

a few designs I came up with for the stock front bumper, with black mesh grills.

They're in the album RAY'S DESIGNS

the red is 3M transparent red film. Cut it to shape, then stick them on. Looks and feels like glass. Won't peel at all. No bubbles with careful installation.

Yah I need wheels. They're next on my list.
Hm.... If I'm gonna get wheels they'll be at least 18s. Plus I have the ones I want in mind already, thanks for the offer

When you say "cut to shape" you mean the tape is only covering the orange? And you can't see the edges of the tape? Where to find this magic tape?

yes the tape covers only the orange part. I left out everything else, including the pink and the red.

You can't see the edges of the tape because if they're cut strait, they line up exactly with the original cuts on the light. You will feel the edge if you touch it, but overall the surface feels like glass and you WILL NOT be able to tell that it's a film.

No. Here in SoCal alot of those parts shops have it. How hard it is to find them depends on where you live.

Yes. It's like a sticker. You peel one side of it off, then it gets sticky.
