Default E-1 Photos

Can someone please post some pics of the Firebird Evolution E-1 bumper painted Bright Red? I suck at recoloring in PhotoShop and want to see what this bumper will look like on my TA. I have several pics of the bumper but not in red.
Thanks!

Why is this in the "Forced Induction" Section?

Because it was designed for better airflow over FI units. I figured more guys with these clips would hang out there, but thanks so much for moving it.

I have a different idea on grill inserts for mine. I got some plastic 1" honeycomb that I will paint flat black and I also plan to inset those grilles about 4-6 inches. I'm going for the look of the Heritage.

At least with the E-1 front end it is easy to work with fiberglass and not that polyurethane stuff. So there is a lot of potential there. Reshaped openings, added splitter or add-on splitter, etc...

Has TRT or Christian done an official post about these front ends?

slick im not bashing the product by any means im just tossing up something to think about fiberglass is not as forgiving as urethane when it comes to things rubbing against it let alone getting thumped with a rock at 70+mph. but as far as customizing it goes yes it is alot easier to work with than urethane so it has its ups and downs but im really meticulous and from my experience the fiberglass doesnt respond as well to small object impact.

i dont dislike that bumper nor would i tell him not to buy it but i do think what im saying is someting to consider if the vehicle sees a lot of highway. just my double lincoln

I could care less about impact resistance. I don't even get on the freeway during a normal work week.
