My car has 157,000 miles on it so my front fog lenses are badly pitted and I need something like this blackout to hide the mess for now. One day I'll probably get the car painted and when I do, I'll have the bumper removed and new lamp assemblies installed. I personally like the car without them, but mine is too fugged up to do that.

I could never say I have never scrubbed a parking bumper with it...
My wife drove it one day and called me on the phone saying that my front bumper fell off.... I said WTF!!! and raced over to where she was. She had hit a curb when she pulled into the parking spot and hit the BMAD square with the curb, shearing the bolts like a pair of scissors. There was just a little scuff on the front of the BMAD but otherwise nothing was damaged but the bolts that I had fastening the BMAD to my skid bars.
I suggest backing into parking spaces if you are worried. I have gotten used to it and never have a problem. I'm even considering dropping the car an inch if I can get that much.
Cheers

I usually detest anything but a stock looking Corvette.
But somehow, your stripes look super
I think the stripes matches the interior. And it is a good color for striping too. Not overly gaudy.
Have you thought about doing this sort of work as a side-job ? I bet many would be willing to have you do theirs. You did that good of job

The Big Mouth was another good purchase in my opinion. It drops the temps quickly while getting back to cruising speed.

I don't recommend backing into a parking lot space. People are Idiots and won't see your frontend as they backout of their parking space. The cost to repair the back of the car is alot cheaper than the front. I back into my driveway all the time just don't trust peoples driving abilities out in public.

>>If you are interested, I bought the stripes from VetteStripes.com. Mike Ung is the proprietor<<
Mike is a great guy to deal with. I've worked with him in the past on a couple projects and he always goes that 'extra mile'...
