here it is guys had a local body shop do this for me he used the cut and bend method not sure what he used to smooth it out? also painted the front end, no more rock chips here just need to change the mesh out to a diamond peice instead of chicken wire.






ugly painted intercooler!




intercooler stripped of black chipping paint







i think it came out pretty good let me know what you think...

Rims to come on friday and do luck rep lip on order!


edit... heres the rims (xxr 521) and painted calipers 2 degree camber in front and a little side skirt triming fender linners removed rolled rear fenders 235-40-18 no rubbing at all yet wheels took a month and a half on backorder to finally get here but i was very pleased while getting them ballenced one wheel didnt require any weights and the others were average with 1.25 oz and 1.50 oz and then one required 3.75 so overall not a badly manufactured wheel in the aspect.

 

Looks good! where did you buy your lip from?

 

looks good. I did the same on my car and they used the same method. Only I retained the stock mesh. Try to find a matching mesh! Cause it's definitely noticeable on your car that it doesn't match :P

 

looks great! nose chopped bumpers look amazing!

 

Looks great! How much did it cost you?

 

I had recently gotten hail damage so he helped me out with this just my deductible

 

I'm actually in the middle of doin my own nose chop, hopefully it comes out as well as yours haha looks a lot better with the nosechop!

 

$500? I just went to a shop and they told me $600 to do the bumper with a week and a half turn around time.

 

$600? thats crazy out here ill get it done for no more then $200 "thats if i didnt know how to do it myself" lol

anyways that looks so good cant wait to start mine next week.

 

if i would had been an off the street guy pay out of pocket i think he probably would have charged 150 200 for front bumper paint only and nose chop but he pulled dings all over the car and took care of some scratches paint chips and repainted the fenders hood and bumper and did the nose chop for no additional charge the insurance estimated me at quite a bit in damages wont say the exact number but alot

 

That is a good looking nose chop. For the price I think you got a good deal.

 

Last pic looks really good. The lip will complete the look!

 

Looks good, mine needs this same treatment.

 

more pics added to the first post!

 

I like the color choice on the Brembos
