Looks pretty damn good. I will warn you, which you already know probably, watch out for curbs and those parking space concrete stoppers. I've now cracked two front lips as a result of my idiocy...

Titan2004 · 12-07-2020, 02:38 PM

I love it! How did you install? I see holes in the painted photos but did you use spacers with screws or what?

BolomM550i · 12-07-2020, 07:07 PM

Home depot screws - line it up to the mudguard in front and made my own spacer. Pretty much DIY all of it.

BolomM550i · 12-07-2020, 07:08 PM

I hear ya on that - I'm being super careful....or try to be so that I'm not hitting those curbs and those parking space concrete stoppers
