Front bumper mod..
My front bumper is now tucked in about 1/2-3/4" closer to the body, heres how I did it.

I used a nail and a hammer to make pilot holes for drilling new holes


Where I marked it on the top

Bottom

New holes drilled





And mounted













Keep in mind that this is NOT a perfect fit, and some of the clips won't line up anymore, but even with that I think it looks nicer IMO.-93' L BP swap/e-series, coilovers, RIO front swap, redrilled festy drums, Miata 14" 7 spokes.

The foam isn't in there at the moment, but will be after I shave a little off of it. The corners are screwed to the fenders, it just barely screwed on, but holds fine.Originally posted by FestYboy View Postwhat about the inner foam supports, and the rear outer corrners?-93' L BP swap/e-series, coilovers, RIO front swap, redrilled festy drums, Miata 14" 7 spokes.

Rust repairs look like they are coming along fine. Front bumper idea is interesting, never really thought about that. Are you thinking of doing the back end? Car is looking like it's coming together. Nice job.:thumbright:
