    nice photoshop, i think i'll stick with the big bumper. it'll save me money and like DVCRobin says, it reminds of older muscle car bumpers. also, what theslotlessman said about extra seats. i'd honestly much rather sit on the bumper of my car than on an actual seat. makes me feel more at home if that makes sense

    You got a great deal. Kinds like that don't show up a lot. Add on brackets or having something fabricated, labor for welding and cutting, (if you have to farm it out) rechroming if needed and it could get up there.

    I got it from two cars at the junkyard. So i took all the brackets. I always end up paying more then everyone else though. The prices at Cali junkyards are 2-3 times the ones in other states. And on top of that they charge us an environmental fee, sales tax, entree fee, core, etc.
