What color of mesh should I get...Silver or a other color?
Front Bumper Installed - Flofocus - 05-20-2005
black or gunmetal for your meshing.
Front Bumper Installed - Chromey - 05-20-2005
BRUSHED ALUMINUM.

I agree with Flo 100%. I'd go black over gunmetal, but then again apparently my car belongs to a Sith Lord :lol:

Im not going to pay someone to install them! So im installing them to see if they fit correctly. I honestly don't care if the bumper is not painted...

I know...Some people don't have patience.

Definitely go with a dark colored mesh, since the openings are so big silver mesh would just be an eye-sore.
Also, maybe consider removing that little bug deflector thing, there's just something that looks funny with it on and the big bumper..
Did you get the whole kit? How much lower does that bumper hang down? If you only got the front, it'll look pretty funny having a front bumper that hangs down inches lower than the sides/rear (if that's the case).

You need a big fat intercooler in that huge hole. ;)

I drove around for 2 weeks with my unpainted bumpers.

Looks pretty good, hard to tell though without it being painted. Are you planning on leaving that bug deflector on cause it clashes with that new bumper IMO, the car would 'flow' alot better without it once you get your new bumper painted, etc.
How did the fitment go? Curious cause alot of fiberglass bumpers, damn near all have HUGE fitment issues but you got that one on quick, like I said curious......

It took about 2 hours. Remove the stock one...put holes in the new on and put it back...It was really easy...
