Fair enough. With the help of a friend that I've already asked, I think all it boils down to now is which I want more, the lip + tail's or the bumper.

I'm not sure wihch route I'll go, but thanks for all the pics and what not!

you need a rivet gun, a drill with a small steel bit, a six pack of beer and 1-2 hours.
or longer if you finish the beer before the bumper.
it was easy for my first time, now if i had to do it again it would take 1 hour or less.
just take your time and make sure you have a drop cloth on hand.

the hardest thing to do was making sure the plate was installed exactly in the middle.
also you will have problems with the reverse lights hanging to low now, just take a black magic marker and color in the sides leaving the bottom exposed, or you can buy some vinyl black tape about 1" wide will do the trick.

oh the crash beam is not needed anymore, just sell it for $20.00 (it will pay for the beer) or modify it to fit.

my car is a garage queen and the color is off.

I will try and have the guy that will help me install retain the crash beam. He said that since he had a welder that he'd be able to do it. I really want to try and retain it.

I just got rearended and am thinking of this JDM Rear - I doubt the yellow will match since it fades SO QUICKLY.

This thread was real helpful though
