the first thing i did when i got it home was start working on my front bumper cover it was the worst spot on the car,and boy did that take alot of work to bring it back like new,first i sanded it all down with 220 grit paper,then i applied poly flex filler to all the bad spots then i sanded them all down boy that was a job.

now im to the point where im putting the finishing touches on the cover before i lay the final coats of primer down.this bumper cover took me about a week to finish but was well worth it in the end.

love the updates so far. I have mad respect for people doing the bodywork themselves - and it's such an accomplishment to see the before and after!
