Broke the front bumper cover.. thinking of going custom
« on: February 03, 2011, 04:02:53 PM »
hey everybody.. well with this last winter storm that swept accross the midwest, i was out having fun and giving my friend a ride home from work when, i saw a big snow drift. trying to be a badass i drove right into it. made it through no problem (at least i thought) when i got home i saw that the cladding was kinda sticking out a little not sitting flush with the fender. so i think i broke some of the plastic clips that hold it in place... but since i wanna put a custom grill guard on anyways i figured why not make a custom bumper cover..or should i fix the plastic cladded one?
any ideas, suggestions, past experiance? thanks everybody

yea i looked it up after you posted the pic! 3400$ thats really salty!.... i wonder if their are blue prints that i can find of these style bumpers... im AWS certified and i have a blueprint certifaction... ive custom fabbed almost everything on my previous cars so i think the avy deserves a little something too lol.... do you know if these replace the actual bumper or just act as the bumper cover.... these look so badass... i remember seeing a member with one of these... it was red, cladded, lifted and i think had a winch... but i cant find that picture

thats the one! looks nice dont it? the only thing i would change is if it would angle out more... i talked to him a little more and he said it sits almost flush with the cladding..... id want a little angle on it maybe add a skidd plate...  no?

It looks angled out to me. ...and yes, a skid plate to top it off.

Did he make prints for it?

he said he kinda did but his measurements were so far off that he was constently trimming pieces... id rather go by the picture then his prints lol... im thinking something along those lines but also extend something out over the fog lights and maybe have it come up to the hopod line to protect the grill and lights.... idk gonna take it to the stealership tomorrow and see wat they charge for it? if its something crazy then ill just repair it myself.
