Do some fibre glass on the front bumper. No air dams or anything flashy like that. Leave the top part of the bumper. Do some glass to smooth out the fog lamps and make them look more integrated. And perhaps bring the bottom of the bumper a little lower, and make the bottom of it crisp. Right now the bumper rolls underneath and the there is no true "bottom", that's what I mean by "crisp." Give the bottom of the bumper a definite end.

But then again, you said something about budget . .

Oh, yeah - lose the two black things in the centre - those things that my dad calls "bumper-ettes"

Can most auto body guys just do that kind of stuff with fiberglass. My auto body bud doens't know the first thing about glass. I wish the Bumpers were better.

I want to keep the "Spoiler" part of the rack and rip off all the other crap.

Get rid of the spoiler too?

i think adding a matching spoiler on the front would add a unic look to it
some of those spinning rims are hot
some of those extended mirrors with the marker lights are going to be the next in thing in hot stuff
oh ya don't forget the wagging dog and fuzzy dice

OKOK. The spoiler can go. It does rattle like crazy, it's easier to shave then to try and get that rattle out of there. I'd love to add a custom look to the Bumpers. I want to get Chrome Rims/New Rubber but keep the same size tire, and see if I can drop it down an inch or 2. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I'm going to vote for the clean look too. I like classy, clean, and simple. Good ideas about the front bumper though.

Here is my advice on a black exterior. Go with a metalic black. It's easier to keep looking clean. Before I ordered my car, I had the dealership do a test for me with 2 cars. One was metalic black, one was jet black (gloss black). I had them wash the cars at the same time and park them outside together for a few days. The metalic black didn't look near as dirty as the jet black, even with the same amount of dirt on it. Guess what color I ordered?
