hey guys,

im just looking at some VZ SS front bumpers on ebay, and i decided i want to put one on my executive. just a few questions

can it be a do it yourself kind of job? like will it be easy fitting and what not? a mate said there could be some troubles of alignment and that.

and paint, how much would paint be? colour is Martini Mica

thanks guys

paint will need to be done by a good painter, as you can run into problems with metallics, ie streaks, blotches etc,

yes you can fit it yourself quite easily, there is a thread that is stickied at the top of this forums so i wont go into detail

it all takes time, and cost money,

was just over at a mates place today. we just removed my original bumper to see if the ss bumper fits, and good news for me, it does fit! so we changed the bumpers back over.

hopefully it will be looking smick once its painted, the foggies are fitted and everything.

I bought a SS bumper for my Executive to for $185 fullr reconditioned and painted.
Did you buy genuine fog lamps or non genuine as i got non genuine and the bracket does not fit the bumper.

i ended up finding some genuine fog lights on ebay. i was worried about getting non-genuine cos of the same problem u faced, no fitting properly
