They'll just screw your bumper up pulling on it then.

I figured Nose candy would get peoples attention, especially the Calli folks.
LMAO!! that's it, you've figured us out, haha. But why not just delete the nose emblem entirely? It would look WAY cleaner on your color, I think.

I did it and it looks WAY better. They even continued the line so it looks factory.

I was thinking about smoothing it out but this bumper had already been through enough repairs and I didn't feel like seeing a crack where it used to be.

I already have cracking around where my key holes used to be that drives me up a freaking wall.

I forsee a new bumper in this cars future anyway and I will probably do it later.


As far as the joke on you Calli folks.....At least you don't have a meth lab on nearly every corner with at least 7 meth heads wandering around scratching at their necks and screaming at their shoes. Gotta love post Katrina south Mississippi.

Awww Shucks!! There goes the one liners I had in mind!! Looks unique! Make a plaster mold of it and you can then make several more from plastic, pewter, clear epoxy or whatever you pour in that hardens. The clear epoxy would be pretty sweet with the skull left clear, the rest painted and an LED behind it!! Nice job on making something new!!
