around 40$ with rivets 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 days

yeh thats what i was thinking

especially if the OP experiences a lot of temperature changes
lets hope it holds up

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)

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.
