| OOOOOOh, AAAAAAH....... Looking good, cant wait for the next reveal. Prep, paint and install.
I think Ewoolfe should be the first customer (i mean second customer) for a set of these.!!!!! He's got the car and the paint to show them off. | |

| Nice work guys! I can't wait to see the finished product. Any idea on when the completed car pics will be available? I would seriously consider a bumper set for my '95 Riv that is being rebuilt after my wreck over a year ago. | |

| The exterior should be done in january. I will keep posting progress pics until the project is completed inside and out.
I know it is a long time from now but I go to a big show in spartanburg sc every year, usually in august (elite summer nationals). If it is close enough for you to swing down you are welcome to come take a look and listen if you are interested.

| How did all your gaps come out.? Did you nail it or did it require a bit of grinding, etc to make it fit.? Looks good, can't wait to see the tips and the front, then all painted up. | |

| Everything worked out great. Some minor sanding in one spot on the left side, on the inside the bumper ( tight fit with everything fitting flush ). Gaps are TIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am very happy with the results and I'm also excited to get the front bumper on the car. | |

| Hmm that makes the car look like how its supposed to look like before the safety nazi's got thier hands on the bumpers!
My birthday is coming up soon.. i may have to think about this quite seriously. Is there much required to fit like removal of the bars behind the stock bumpers?

Nigel It is not very difficult at all. The impact beams can be removed, or the bracket bolting the beam to the car can be shortened and reattached. The stock marker lights are also retained. | |

| Wow, really looks nice. So I guess if someone wanted to retain the grey portion at the bottom they would just mask it off? | |

| i can honestly say that i will be buying a set of the front and rear bumpers I was going to sell the Rivi when i get my taxes back and get a park ave but if i can spend ~$2000 (have a family friend body guy whos dirt cheap and good) and have a low mile, amazing looking and custom car i cant pass it up vs taking a loss on my car and pay more for a used car that i would have to start from scratch with. Currently thinking to get these bumpers, have the shaved, side door guard moldings and wheel arches shaved, do the front lower grill opening with the "thick chrome grill", oval exhaust tips in the bumper (like the bently gt), dark tint all the lights, black out headlights (like Demonte97) , paint job with a deep red bottom and black upper following the body lines and some nice chrome or black and chrome 18-20" rims. Cant wait for this summer | |
