Default PICS!! Mine and friends CETA Bumper, and more (56k possible)

Well Ive owed people pics for 2 weeks now of me doing the CETA Bumper to my car. I read over and over and followed step by step this article written by kraaazymike and it came out perfect! My friend saw how good mine turned out and asked me to do his. So heres some pics of both cars, plus the new STB I put in and had to paint myself (was red )

This was right before a really nasty storm. I was in the perfect spot to get some big lightening bolts behind the car, but the camera was too slow




And heres a lil thing I added when I painted the bumper And that 3rd brake light is custom painted by DirtyBird222. Its lights up as just the pheonix when i hit the brakes, the rest is black. I need to get pics of it



Heres the STB



My friends car while the paint was drying


And both our cars together

Looks really good. great job...Is that all that you taped off and covered up when you were painting if so you kinda scared me lol Get some polished tips of some kind (Corsa) and it would really set it off

You didn't drop the exhaust down? How did you get the paint to spray evenly with the exhaust in the way?

The lisence plate frame was a banner up top here on LS1tech w/ all their shirts, hats and stuff. Hence why the top of it says LS1tech.com I think if you go to cafepress.com and search for ls1tech youll find it.

As for the exhaust, I left it on and just put a plastic bag over it and taped it all up. Spraying it evenly wasnt that hard, just took my time, and didnt spray right on the bumper. And no that isnt all that I taped up on the car. Thats the tape I did to mark off the line, then I taped a tarp down over the rest of the car.

I would like some Corsa tips, but I have a borla and love it. Im going to re-allign the entire exhaust so it doesnt sit down so low. Whoever originally put it on sucks. Plus I dont want my car to look completely like Silver02TA's car
