That looks really good! I wish we had a pick-n-pull type yard around here. Could you use something like this to add some of the material you cut off back on? Assuming it hasn't been trashed yet.
They used it on "Trucks" to customize a part on project 5 Grand Cherokee..seems like an interesting product.

Hadn't seen that line of adhesives, but it looks interesting. Thanks for the link Donovan! I have considered using some sort of adhesive (yet TBD) to affix part of the urethane material back onto the wheel well radius cut to present a "finished edge". I suppose it would also work to fill in that little wedge shape too.
I'm enjoying that "what the heck is that thing?" look I get from people in traffic! Heh, heh!

Looks very very very nice indeed! You could hide a nice size intercooler behind that bumper too. Do the festiva trim pieces that go under the lights still fit?
Have you thought about using the focus corner lights, and rewiring the festiva corner lights to be the turn signals?Last edited by Gforcefd; 10-29-2008, 11:56 AM.Comment

Nice. this means aftermarket focus items will be the same amount of work...as aftermarket pieces never fit right on the car they belong on anyway. Ill keep a lookout for a white cover.1993 GL 5 speed

For now, I've removed the "eyelashes" from under the headlights. I'm scheming up some sort of valance panel that will fit on top of the bumper, extending back into the area under the grille & the headlights.
I have some clear Festy corner lites w/the integrated turn signals. I've gotta splice in some connectors that fit and then I will replace my "temporarily relocated turn signals" with my driving lights. Also plan to put in the Focus corner lites & considering wiring them into the turn signals as well.
Yeah that wide lower grill is just the thing to hide a fat intercooler! I just gotta take one step at a time. Got my eyes open for a BP-T motor/trans/ECU...
BTW, I really only spent 2 partial days on this whole bumper transplant thing. Nobody was more surprised than me to discover how easy it actually was.
