See, I told you so lol.

At first, the clearcoats started to come off in small speckle. As you can see, I removed about 50% of the bumper's top coat (the darker paint in my previous pics) by myself. I literally tried almost everything in order to remove only the topcoat w/ tape adhesives, razor blades, air compressor, etc. Then, I got a minor hit 'n run and it cracked the bumper so I gave it up about 1 year ago lol.

Good thing about this upgrade is that I get to keep my original bumper for moding it w/o her face being bare naked while she gets her face surgery. ;)

Feels nice to take a closer look of her face. Even a pic like this was too close to show, before her old face lol.

First time ever to show her outdated eye w/ a closer look lol.

Is your lower grill painted white? Just checking he he. :p

A little progress for a lazy person lately.



When I first received a BR's front polyu lip, I figured it wasn't perfectly flowing with my side skirts.

It took a while to move my lazy ass, but I finally decided to try adding a little more contour on the lip by shaving it with a dremel + manual sanding.

Just this section on both sides. BR's ver.1 lip has the nice contour on this particular section, but the ver.2 is very flat for some reasons. :(

It needs more work, but I'm glad that it's becoming descent.

Nice work, Richard. I wouldn't have noticed that unless you pointed it out. Good to see perfection in progress :)
