Now, I love all the lines on the Celi. Except, this one.



Anyone else hate this gap? I was thinking before I get the car painted to fill the gap in with bondo or something. Good idea or bad idea?

Here is my some photoshop to see the diff.





I love the gap less look. I dont see myself removing the bumper for anything.

depends how you are with body work, and if you understand that you may need to sand it down and do it again from time to time, intercooler or headlight install for example... i'd do it with mine, well, actually i do plan on doing it once i get my new kit on, full mold.

Considering gas has hit $4.00 here in south Florida, I'll be sticking with my lovely slow 5sfe engine with n plans for turbo. laugh.gif

And I have 0 skill in bodywork, I'd have someone else do it.
I might/might not get projectors and thats the only time the bumper would come off, but other than that, its on for good.

bad idea. if the bodyshop needs to just remove a fender or just the bumper, they're not going to be too happy about removing both fenders and bumper all at once. I dont even know if thats possibly without cutting.


cutting what?

I have the mindset that its like drywall, just slap some putty on it, let it dry, sand it to smooth it, and paint over.
