Aluminum angle iron bonded to the lower part...the mesh attaches to it to help support it from the top. I'm actually going to get one of the Shine bumpers vs this with a seperate lip.

Nice and subtle grille/mesh. Looks good.


Here's mine. I had the ShineAuto lipp bolted to it, and kept all the supports that the stock lip and under-cover bolted to to keep it from sagging.

Yours looks more than just cut. Did you cut and fill your bumper because I dont see any sign of the old bumper pieces in there. It looks very smooth.

Im thinking of doing the same once I get a shine Spec-G lip, but at the same time, I like the fact that you cant see the DriftMotion FMIC behind the factory grill.

Thanks...I like that lip on yours. It def adds support to the bottom.

Didn't just cut the grill, but cut a rectangle for his front mount.

Dont know anything about the car, just a random jpeg on my hard drive, LOL. But it looks like he has skinnies in the front and big slicks in the back.

Don't half-ass this - and don't use fiberglass.

Is that the bomex?

Everyone's mods are great, I didn't realize this was so popular.
Is everyone using the metal bar for support, Or will a lip support it enough?
