Finished fabricating the new bumper and slapped it on yesterday. I usually draw projects out for a long time, but this took less than 3 weeks including ordering, shipping, fabricating, painting, and mounting… It’s a completely different look that I have to get used to, but i like it. before: ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v129/EVeRcyCLinG/LAFENGAS/01.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v129/EVeRcyCLinG/LAFENGAS/01.jpg) after: ![http://photos.e46fanatics.com/data/500/7558IMG_9628.JPG](http://photos.e46fanatics.com/data/500/7558IMG_9628.JPG) ![http://photos.e46fanatics.com/data/500/7558CSL.JPG](http://photos.e46fanatics.com/data/500/7558CSL.JPG) ![http://photos.e46fanatics.com/data/500/7558IMG_9633.JPG](http://photos.e46fanatics.com/data/500/7558IMG_9633.JPG) ![http://photos.e46fanatics.com/data/500/7558IMG_9638.JPG](http://photos.e46fanatics.com/data/500/7558IMG_9638.JPG) ![http://photos.e46fanatics.com/data/500/7558IMG_9640.JPG](http://photos.e46fanatics.com/data/500/7558IMG_9640.JPG) anybody see my inspiration?.. ![http://www.moviepoopshoot.com/toybox/images/2004/jul20/review_staypuft_4.jpg](http://www.moviepoopshoot.com/toybox/images/2004/jul20/review_staypuft_4.jpg) ![http://photos.e46fanatics.com/data/500/7558IMG_9631.JPG](http://photos.e46fanatics.com/data/500/7558IMG_9631.JPG) ---

oh my gawd it looks fabulous. when i first looked at it, i thought it was a little bit too much of a change… but after looking at it for a minute it looks, a lot more “mature”, and agressive. :tup: \<3 ---

Personally I liked the other setup, looked a little classier I think. This looks ok, but i liked the other one better. ---

This looks ok, but i liked the other one better. My last bumper was in need of major repairs and wasn’t worth salvaging. I really liked it though too. After realizing it would take more work, more money, and more time just to get the same look i was already driving around with… i chose to do something different. That was the main factor that forced my decision, but i have no regrets. > [@Pass McGrass](#): > > not sure if its the lighting, but the color seems to be off a little. > > i like it much more than the old one for sure It’s likely the lighting since the paint is from the same can I had been using for everything else.
