Definitely, I already have it painted (2 coats primer, 3 coats satin) and I have the rear bumper which I'm gonna put a coat or two of satin on as well to match the front. Problem is, it won't stop raining here. I have no garage and don't want to do it on the carport in fear of dropping and scratching it. Once it clears up I'll put it on over some grass. It looks really good painted though and I also got the fogs to sit more flush with a dremel tool on the brackets. Should have finished pics up later this week.

Feel free to use my garage if you need one! Me and another buddy here in bham have been looking around at various bumper options, I wonder if they'd do another couple of them.

Thanks for the offer! I think it may be more trouble loading that thing though than just waiting until Thursday or later. He told me he would do more, so yea if you want one give him a call. It's All South Fabricators. Ask for Nolan.

I think I might want one too. cipher (2001) and mine (2000) have different fog lights but I really like those 2004 lights. Probably could get some from Paul Grant. Is that shop on Alton Road?

I wonder if your 2004 bumper mounts the same way as 99-2002?

It's Alton pkwy in Trussville. It doesn't matter if you have different fogs, he will make them work. Same with the mounts. I just gave him a stock ebay bumper pic that I liked and he made it look very identical to that and added recovery points which the ebay one didn't have. The ebay one was $933 shipped.

That's a nice combination. They look like a good match.
