Default ***My FrontYardSpecial***

i went home for thx giving break and decided to paint and put on my new bumper.

i had planned to use a buddys bodyshop to do the work, but he was full up, so i had to do it all in frontyard.hence the name

i made custom brackets for the fogs
(hate all u want about having fogs on a bys bumper, but i go to school in a very foggy area, i see fog about 3x a week)

and i painted the lip black w/ orange flakes to match the mirrors and the roof.

and for those wondering its a wek^sos replica bumper and fitment was excellent

sorry driveway pics for now, later i take some more quality shots once im back home

Not bad, could've done a little better on the lip though. Other than that I like...

not bad. looks good for a replica is that imola orange?? also, i dont think the circle fogs go w the shape of the bumper. wouldve looked better if you put those thin, rectangular Raybrigs w the curved corners(they look oval-ish), in the middle section of the bumper & kept the side holes empty

Just curious, did you get the "frontyard special" out of your head or from Koolaid_Chris' car when he taped it off for IA and wrote frontyard special over the painters tape. Not a big deal, just curious. Nice car

Looks like it could have used one more coat of black on the lip?

I like the color of the car...if you need fogs then cool, but maybe some diferent shaped,different placement would yield better results.

Nice work though.

Eh, should've just painted it all one color, otherwise it kind of looks like you're trying to fake the funk a little bit. Otherwise looking good.
