So in materials you probably got less then $100 bucks and how much time did it take?

it took a good 4 hours total.. just sanding and preping.. painting was like 15 min or so then just let it dry for a good 2 daysQuote:
even without a grill, once you bolt on the bumper the mounting points will hold it sturdy
yeh thats what i was thinkingOriginally Posted by chaotichoax
once you have a grill mounted the top strip will be fine...the grill supports the upper portion of the bumpereven without a grill, once you bolt on the bumper the mounting points will hold it sturdy

lets hope it holds upOriginally Posted by chaotichoax
if I was the OP...I'd be most concerned with the filler material separating from the riveted plate.especially if the OP experiences a lot of temperature changes

Looks good tho. This is one of the reasons I would do an 8 swap on a 9
I am not as talented as the OP. I will have a buddy of mine who owns a shop do it for me.
But its funny how after owning a 9, I now have a craving for another one but with a nosechopped 8 front bumper in WW.
ChaoticHoax's WW IX is what I am looking to model after but I will add my own twist to it. Now the hard part... find a WW 8 or 9 that wont cost me an arm or leg and is somewhat stock.
yea this VA weather is stupid.. we actually just got some snow flurries/ hail today and its suppose to be in the 70s this weekend (spring)Originally Posted by Astro_Train
good point... being that is in VA... it can be 105 in the summer and 5 below in the winter... .Looks good tho. This is one of the reasons I would do an 8 swap on a 9

I am not trying to scare you btw haha...the paint and clear should help prevent it from separating and even if it does the paint and clear shouldn't let it go very far...jb weld and some clamps would be your friend at that point
definitely get some more pictures posted once you have everything mounted

Nose chop looks great. I like how you riveted the plate to your bumper, I never would have thought of that.
