Default fixed my bumper! Just wanted to share :)
Hey all,

I couldn't resist showing a few pics of my bumper after i put on the rear gfx lip. I cracked my bumper almost 10 months ago and after having a gfx lip in the garage collecting dust for 6 months, i finally installed the damn thing! I am extremely happy with the results and am loving the way it looks.

Before with crack


Bumper removed


With GFX installed + Tips - no more crack!


Special thanks to PhoNoodles for a great writeup on how to install. I have never intentionally drilled into or cut my own bumper/body panel before so it was rather intimidating at first but the DIY helped alot.

For anyone interested in the DIY, heres the link:
