My DIY Bumper Cover
 
1 Attachment(s)
My front bumper is all cracked and broken. Since I'm in the process of updating, upgrading and doing a full schedule service, I'm holding off on a new bumper. I have access to a lot of neat stuff at work so I decided a while back that I would create something to hide the damage on my bumper. So I took some measurements and went back-and-forth with it for a couple of weeks until I got tired of it so what I ended up with was a piece of .080 aluminum that I drew up on a software program, CNC-cut, contoured and fitted to the top/ center section of the bumper. I will let the pictures explain the details.
