Updated post with a picture of what a stock pewter Formula looks like (NOT MY CAR!!). I'll update the main post again after I get some shots with it on/off.

The pics are pretty dark. I'll try to get some before it gets dark.

Keep in mind... I took these pics last night around midnight since my car hadn't been washed in 6 months before that.

Lol, was the Camaro NBM with biggs-n-littles on it? I did this to my Camaro a long time ago to help keep the rubber off the bumper. Would just be funny, because yesterday I was thinking about trying it on the Firehawk too.

Behind the rear tire at the bottom of the bumper is a push tab, remove that and pull the end out, then bolt a piece of metal in the gap.

Basically it.
