Had to wait a few days for the bumper molding to arrive.



It came super fast though! Thanks Carson Toyota!







Cleaning up the bumper to put the molding on



This thing is super long



Here we go!

Done now just touching up some spots and pressing down to make sure the adhesive made good contact.







After a good detail and ready to roll again.

no, the lip was reused and repainted. it was the bumper bracketing that was messed up. the gs3 is in the garage (the carbon one) thanks!
