Sneak Peek... Weekend Project

Well at least part of my weekend project is ready for install. My bumper and side sills arrived today, but I will only be installing the bumper due to Fedex's spectacular package handling. One of the sides was damaged during shipping, so bumper this weekend and maybe sides next weekend... I hope.

Also being installed (not pictured) are new brake pads (front and back), and a grounding kit.

***Updated... Installed pics added****

I completely agree... I'm actually looking into a couple places that install them. Just have to pick where.

I did not. Still worth every dollar though, IMO.

Nice man congrats.

Fedex is known for pooping on a lot of peoples packages like that.

They did it to 2 of mine in the past.
