Patched the bumper. Backed into a rock so needed to do some work on it. I have the Fabspeed bypass right now. Sounds cool when you start up.

Looks great and I was just thinking about posting this question up. Can they be removed and patched/painted without spraying the whole bumper?

Your font in your plates look different in the last picture. Did you get new plates issued?

Ya ..... I had to get new plates. My rear plate was loose, thought I could get it home, but on the freeway the plate fell off. To much traffic to try and get and finally saw it a few days later, after a few 18 wheelers drove over it, not much left.

Looks good AiRick.

I think I will go and put my Fabspeed muffler bypasses on this weekend so we can terrorize the neighborhood Two un muffled turbos on one street ought to get everyone's attention.

Let me know if you are up for a spin this weekend?

I Like the more after better

Any takers on this? Never had any paint work done so just curious.

I don't have experience with this particular job but if you get a good body shop, I don't see why they would need to spray more than just the license area. maybe a little wet sanding to smooth things out

Thanks. Seems like a waste to strip the whole bumper when it is pretty much perfect.
