hey thanks... for a quick chop, it looks pretty cool, wonder if the other half would kill me if i got that done? *evil grin*

i've always liked that style.. if style is what you want to call it

well if i get my freaking bumper fixed anytime soon, i might see what it would cost to do that, hopefully i can find someone who has a hookup so i dont get raped on the price!!!Maybe jason will sell me his old rear bumper for cheap so i can sand it down and get it painted to save money??

seems like you could easily pretty up the tail of the car by losing that tacky dealer license plate frame. "Everyones Runnin' to Bunnin" sounds like it is announcing the popularity of (removed) (removed)

oohhhh! booyah!

Huh, guess it's good I looked at this, IM me!

I think Andre's (now Dug's) Vibe had that painted that way and the front lower cross-bar as well. Do both.

oh darn!!! ok well im #2! haha.Ill im you tonight, dropping katie off at teh airport tonight.I think it looks good so if i can get it done cheap, it might be a xmas gift!

I was actually thinking of having that painted for a while now, but couldn't decide on whether or not it would look good. Looks good to me, so I think I'm gonna do it. Just gotta find a place that won't charge too much.

Also, what would the front lower cross bar look like painted? If anyone could photoshop that(preferably a silver vibe) it would be greatly appreciated.

Funny, I was just thinking that the other day. Just the lower front part with the split in the middle. Thought it might look good that way.

Here's a real quick shot of the front....

It doesn't look bad, but I'm not as certain about that as I am the back. Thanx for the pic.

i say do the back but its king of iffy about the front but i have to see the front before i just to a conclusion

I completely agree. I'm definitely doin' the back, but I'm beginning to think that painting the front would not look good with my grille.

Sorry, try again. There's actually quite a few that have done this to the rear bumper (not all are on this site). I'm sure Devlop had his done a long time ago. But don't let that stop you from doing it. It looks good painted that way. You can still be the only vibe with it in your town, I bet. My little matchbox vibe is actually painted like that on the bumper.

Yea, I know its been done, but so has everything else. It'll still make it somewhat unique and personalized.

ok well i guess im number 5,274 to do it!!! Heres a pick of my front if anyone can chop it.thanks*dont mind the cute passenger or my plate!!!

You know what, after seeing the new front end, it might not look right to do the front b/c that lower bar goes from left to right all the way across. On the older front end it didn't, just look at Lancer's pic for comparison.

Hmmm... i see! darn... well if anyone can play with it and maybe we can find a new wayNice catch by the way.Jason you have AIM?

ballrubs 03-04 bumper with the sports package looks wierd... if teh crossbar was lower, where the sport fascias were it would look better.The 05 bumper looks pretty cool. more like trix front end, but still kinda odd.Thanks though cole

if i could grab that bumper off you in the future... i would use urs and fiberglass then end of the black to meet with the front of the lip... so that black area is cut off from the rest of the bumper, if you can get the idea.Maybe cole can add that in and we can see what i mean.but thats a project far from now

well if you look closely at his original pic of the front youll see little indentions by the side things comming from the fog lights. it looks alright here ind it could look decent though.thanks for the complement Mike.
