 Ok today I worked on getting my bumpers tucked in for a cleaner look.  The front I had a partially colapsed bumper shock so I colapsed it all the way.  I ended up having to drill out the other to get it to colapse. 





The rear is just setting there.  I kinda like how it is but to get that position to work will take some cutting and welding.  I don't like how the ends stick out so we may cut the ends off and weld plates on that will tie into the quarter panels.

Man, your always messin with stuff. I like the sucking in the bumper like that. Gives it a bit of flow. Your gonna take care of the extra pipe on those exhaust tips though, right?

I agree, bumpers always looked better tucked in.

  I am still battling with the rear bumper.  If it is tucked like in the pics(just a mock up) the ends don't look right with the tail lights.  I don't think it will look any better if I make end plates for the bumper that blend into the body like the wife's car.  I think what I am going to have to do first is flush the rear tail lights to make it look right.  They stick out to far esspecially at the bottom.
