Default Before & after

Been wanting to get rid of the nasty front bumper cover with its ugly license plate bracket holes and 80k miles worth chips and cracks. So finally pulled the trigger on a Sewell painted (SGM of course) bumper cover and matching GFX front lip spoiler. Oh, did I mention new fog lights to replace the old ones filled with moisture! Trying to decide if I want to go back with the yellow vinyl overlay or not on the fogs. Hmmmm. Oh yes, I do have a new front lower grille to install as well. Enjoy!

Looks amazing. I would definitely get a new bumper if I wasn't in Canada, shipping alone is more than the painted bumper from Sewell... :'(

What happened to your cardboard front splitter that you were sporting a few weeks ago?

HA! I was just about to ask him the same question. I guess that means he won't be applying for a patent for the splitter.

Still sitting behind the toolbox. I still have the old bumper; so if want, I can swap out bumpers. I might still do the splitter, but it'll be a permanent fixture on the old bumper. We'll see.

No patent pending at this time.

The GFX lip and clear fogs looks great. It makes it looks like a totally different car. I wish the 09-10 had more front lip options.
