Default brought a teg back to life black dc2 white wheels

so, long story short. a old woman t boned me in a parking lot (her fault). totalled my vsm teg. they totalled out my teg and i didnt make out to well with insuarnce money. i picked up another wrecked 97 and started switching over all my parts over. got my engine suspension and all the rest of the goodies on.


what she looked like upon arrival




this is when i started gather replacement parts





i yanked all that nasty tan cloth out of there and replaced it ALL with my black interior, dash, carpet, and my gray leather



then i did all the body work and got her resprayed and heres how she sits as of today

Sorta-fit aftermarket bumper FTL. The seams really don't line up and I think its cramping your style. It looks very nice except for the lip and aftermarket bumper. Upgrade when you get the chance!

i appreciate all the comments good and bad, like i said the issuance didn't do me to well and i couldn't find a decent oem bumper or lip in my price range, it's a daily driver so i'm not gonna dump too much money in it. and the orange turn signals are back-ordered in the mail. only reason i got clear ones in are because my buddy had a set laying around and i didn't wanna give the local law enforcement any more reason to pull me over. i don't really mind the lip. i live in the city and i bust em up every few months anyway so
