Playing around in Paint

Post by Shadow-Vibe »

Since my wifes car is in the shop getting fixed, and I had requested that the parts being replaced be given back to me, I was thinking about playing with her front bumper. Give me your input please.

I've given though to chopping out that lower center post myself, just never did it.

The top part can stay but the bottom part you can do with out looks like it would be a good mod to do. But it would be cool to if you can fiberglass some stuff to it or mod it in that way...

the bottom looks good with out that post. and the great part is you can remove the lower cladding to cut it out easy with out having to go through the upper part.

I painted the bottom area of mine a while back to make the center piece less noticeable.. I think it would look good on your color Vibe

Hey, I did the same a while ago. http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=16204 Didn't attempt it. Was just thinking about putting an aftermarket grill in front of the center post since it is slightly recessed from the rest of the bumper. Thoughts were to just blacken out the pontiac arrowhead then attach a black mesh grill over it.Dave

already did that... except the top. i was wanting to do something like that but never got around to it. however, i did hack out the center piece because it was broken. however, devlop did this long ago since he had a FMIC. Devlop:my old VGT:
