my new style VR4 bumper modification
I decided that i wanted to go a different route with the VR4 bumper. I haven't seen anyone do this so wish me luck :-)
Stage 1
cut out the pieces I did not want :087:. Have to finish sanding it a bit more for the adhesive. its a little flimsy in the middle but when I am not working on it i attached the plastic grill so when I move it I do not put a lot of tension anywhere. Once completed the metal mesh should give it more rigidity.

once I finish sanding the area for the adhesive to stick to it I will then post up some more pics.
update:
I started doing the bumper did the top part of the license plate. sorry I did not get to take pictures when I put up the mesh. I basically used the material used for windows in the metal form. i cut a piece out and held in it place with some glue I got from hobby lobby, once I got it i used the SEM plastic repair to hold it in place then started working on it. with the stuff i used its thicker than syrup but it seeped through on the bottom i am doing the metal mesh but will add a piece of fiberglass to help with retaining the material. i am also trying to attack the bottom differently cause since I have no support it has opened up a little so I have to make sure its the right shape. Also the middle piece is a little lower then the outside piece.
it looks like a big ol mess lol

I had only bought two bottles so the bottom will have to wait until that comes in.
