    With the 20% off discount it puts the factory welded bumper at a closer price point though :thumbsup:

    @FadedComa did a steel WIY it turned out pretty damn good. He also had someone that is a skilled welder put it together for him. Aluminum is a whole different animal unless you are good with a spool gun or TIG I wouldn't suggest going aluminum for a WIY. Also it is good if you have some concept of fab work. Getting some tube or angle iron to go from wing to wing as you finish weld the bumper is definitely a plus to keep them from warping/moving during final welding.
