AutoExe bumper FINALLY!! (pics)

[AllLostThings]

Months of waiting and a and a week for painting and It's finally. Pretty smooth install other than a few small things. I highly recommend anyone else who get one installs it themselves. It's easy enough and it'll save you a few hours of labor at a body shop. The worst of it was getting the foglights out of the factory plastic housing. Also the foglight tabs on the AutoExe bumper were off a hair so I had to get a round file and make them a bit bigger. Overall it took about 20 minutes to get the factory bumper off and maybe 3 hours to mess with stuff and get the new one on.

ANNNDDD...

i think it would look better with a FMIC....also...could you swap over the honeycomb grille instead of the chicken wire grille???

Thanks guys!

Bigj884...it is a honeycomb grill, not chickenwire, it came with the bumper. It just didn't photo very well with the lighting. Plus in most of the pics it was wet as I had just washed the car.

Mazdaspeed2oo35 It was $710+shipping through CS. Excellent customer service btw.

sorry...i was referring to the stcok grill in the stcok bumper.....the oval shapped plastic grille....i think it would look better with that grille in the middle...instead of the metal mesh grille....or even without the metal mesh grille would look good.

just not a fan of the metal mesh grilles....but other than that the bumper looks good.

[madvillian]

that looks reaaaaaally good man. nice choice! did it come painted? you're now obligated to get a fmic as well.

 

[Hank3]

Looks nice. Audi-ish.

Tight man it would look sweet with some HID's in the fogs and front mount would be real nice too. I like the grill part where the emblem goes but for god sakes why do they put holes and mount area on for the front plate!

 

[AllLostThings]

Yeah I do wish it didn't come with the holes for a plate holder. My old holder and even just the plate itself don't fit there. I'm gonna have to gayass ziptie my plate to the front. Nh law says you have to have ur front plate on....stupid....

No it dfidn't come painted. It was another $480 from a local shop here. Not a bad deal considerign the sanding and prep that goes into painting fiberglass. The guy even gave me the last of the paint he mixed for it.
