    :rolleyes: my mods are 20 bucks or less, and they have been for a while. Think what you want though, it's cool.

    And you DIRECTLY did it, so who cares about him not putting his wording the way he meant?

    And his "I want to do more with my life" made perfect sense, becuase you said fuck school. Maybe he doesn't want to have a job he hates and drink away all his problems, like some people here.

    james offered you his tokico with H&R springs yet you denied them!

    whats going on man! you cant be SUV man forever, then you said "ohh im not gonna worry about my hybrid bumper cracking because im not gonna slam my corolla" YET YOU PHOTOSHOP A SLAMMED COROLLA ALWAYS!!! AHHHHHHHHGGGG!!!! :deskflip:

    Added: Jul 4, 2013 at 11:24 AM

    rubbing issues!! dude i ride with 2 people in the back and the tire sits even with the wheel arch....your saying your staying SUV man forever?

    Yea my fuse too but your not understanding that the material you just melted got weak and brittle, thats why he mesh is in the kit.....fuck man im starting to sound like a broken record here....

    When you leave something ouside in the sun and you come back for it, it will crack into little pieces because the heat damaged it, you heating that area with the plastic and it gets weak...

    OK DO THIS, you have leftover bumper material right? do 4 2x2 inch squares....fuse 2 your way and fuse the other 2 my way and see which ones breaks easier....

    Looking good so far!

    Maybe it's just the lighting, but on the left side, it looks like the 8.5 sticks out slightly compared to the 8.0 right there on the corner?

    He can't even see it on his own bumper :please:
    Added: Jul 7, 2013 5:01 AM
    WAIT A MINUTE OK I see it now, sorry that's actually just how the 8.0 bumper is.... the cut is actually below that section. I forgot that the 8.0 has that weird line going across the bumper.

    I hate that oem line. Idk why but it just seems out of place or like it was an after thought. Like they had the whole car all designed, but felt the front end was too bland, so they the in some gay ass line across the front bimper.... I hate that line with a passion.
