test fitting sides I just picked up as low as I dare to, my driveway is just not low-friendly. paint is in the planning stages, leaning towards keeping it red. |

^the bottom of your bumper doesn't stick out as much so you shouldn't scrape as much, mine sticks out quite a bit so by the time my front wheels hit the bottom of the dip my lip is hatin life lol

Apparently every little scrub would break the zipties holding it on, I didn't want to bolt it on cause I figured it would just break it at the bolting point since it doesn't really flex. It ended up falling off around 80mph after I passed someone and dropped to the ground dragging in front of my car. By the time I could pull over in the grass in the middle of bfe I saw a corner of it fly over my car. Ill post a pic when I get home today. Wish it was a cool story but just my own stupidity lol moral of the story is, buy badass zipties next time..

Parts shop max coils so pretty stiff. I scrubbed everywhere. I drive on an old ass military post that has spots where I've hit my front crossmember with the stock bumper on. If you find the last pic I posted in the pic thread you can see my fmic is dented pretty bad too from the same shit. And yea, my guess is hella shitty zipties. Oh well, it just broke a corner off, clean break so easy fix.

Yea I threw two pieces of alum I had laying around on top of my fmic and under the bumper the day after the pic. The next morning is when it fell off. I just drive on super shitty roads. Waiting on smaller rear tires and ill drop the rear end a few inches. Should pick up the front bumper a little bit
