means converted from the drum brake set up that an I4 comes with to a disc brake set up like the v6 has in the rear. like so

[IVORY_G]

Damn man, I wish had the location and means of doing this, Ive just been quoted $500 just to paint and slightly modify my bumper! Wish u were local! LOL!

[Galante]

I can do your bumper if I'm a local, just buy the paint supplies labour is free until i'm professional. lol

[Galante]

I wish too so I can help and get more practice ;)

Ray, I'll push the muff up after paint is done. Good thing u noticed it.

So here some new pics after they were primed and sanded. Tom. they are ready for basecoat and clear coat.






I'll have to heat the bottom right of the bumper to push it up to where it should.

[guynlidia2006]

the bumper you are putting on looks alot like the bumper u had, minus the add on pieces you have, whats the difference between the two bumpers?

[Ivory8g]

the bottom lip that goes over the muffler is longer so it matches up with the skirts and the underskirts for the rear bumper helps clean it all up to make it flush

[Galante]

Thanks Ivory8g! ;)

[guynlidia2006]

oh ok... cause they are very simular... all i know is i cant wait to see the finished product... Is the process eaiser for you this time since you have already done this once before? (painting i mean)

[guynlidia2006]

glad to see your getting your monney worth out of your kids tables, loil.. j/k

[Dominicano]

is that the 98+ vr4 rear you got? so you get to keep your rear bumpuer support.

Well I think it would be better this time. I learned from little mistake from my previous painting for the front and will try improve on them this time around.
