    That's probably the cleanest looking DIY bumpers I've seen! Great work!

    Looks like you may have gotten some inspiration from Pelfrey... :)

    That is a fine DIY bumper. Looks to be professional quality as far as aesthetics go, very nice job matching the lines. Probably considerably cheaper than buying one too.

    If it's anything like the one I built, it might be cheaper but lots lots of time. Totally worth it and was fun.

    Nice job man. I built one for a s10 and it was crazy how much fab goes into one from scratch.

    When I get a bumper it will be a diy builder kit

    So the question is, when are you going into production, so the rest of us can have one?

    Nicely done!

    Yes I expect as much. Probably even worth it to let the ones who've hammered it down to a science do it but like you said hard work is rewarding itself and worth the time.
