thank you. luckily the car came with a lot of the mods. just not installed. that's why we bought it. nothing much more for the car besides maybe air ride. tom now daily's it from home to work. lol he got a ticket the day after i dropped it off at his house. that's at least $200 he won't be spending on mods. but if it does get modded again i will definitely update everyone here.

Thanks will do! Here is an update for everyone. My cousin had some run-ins with some highway debris and parking curbs which resulted in the need to repaint the lip and to swap out the bumper.

Jacking up the car







Removing all the screws and bolts

Finally ready to come off



Took the lip off to see what was under there. Not pretty. Paint shop didn't bother removing the lip when we had the whole car resprayed



New donor bumper thanks to Veritek and the Wald Lip is off.









The new bumper was resprayed to match the car



Assembling all the brackets

Time to add the lip











Ewww gap! 3M double sided tape should do the trick







I let it sit for a few hours on clamps just to be safe
