    Well...it DID look good.

    Well, I finally got the front bumper of my TOMS kit mounted perfectly a few weeks ago. Spent about a week sanding and fiberglassing to make it fit perfect. I did this is denial telling myself the kit wouldnt be to low and I could drive around just fine. Well, I finally woke up when I couldnt even pull into my own driveway without damn near ripping the thing off. No damaged occured though:D Driving is a major part of my job, so the front is just not practical. Anyways, the bumper came off the next day, but Im keeping the rear. Im trying to get TRD sideskirts, and figuring out something for a front lip. So my TOMS BUMPER is for sale, PM me if anyone is interested. Here are a couple of pics of what it looked like while it was on:

    Theyre Intrax springs, their website says "1.7", Rear - 1.6", but after it settled, it was about two inches. I think:confused: I scrape speedbumps with the underbody of my car quite often.

    Keep it and park on the street.
