Its too bad my invisible wax job wore off, because now I have this bumper with brand new looking paint in its place...

Everybody who went to Spring Zing knows the story of my bumper, but on the good side of it, they did an excellent job, and I was even more impressed to find out that they didnt do any more sanding because I did such a good job it was unnecessary :)

BTW, Foglights are coming soon, and my grille mesh fell out today :( I am so sad because my mesh had the Ford Emblem from my old 96 on it. :( maybe I will find it on the way to work tomorrow. Oh and if anybody is wondering, The first coat of wax I put on that bumper is going to be the NXT I won at spring zing. Haha.

I know my hood is all chipped up, Last owner used the car just to travel so its all highway miles, lots of stone chips :( If anybody has a OEM CF hood they are willing to let go for cheap, shoot me a PM.

so alias, did that bumper really fit over the metal reinforcement? or did you have to flip it around the right way?
 
What's up with the alignment of the front end body parts?

The headlights and grill are all sticking way out.
The hood is set too far back. The driver's side headlight is Depot and the passengers' side is a Ford with broken tabs.

Rouar gets a cookie :)

The last person that had it got into a front ender with it and didnt have it mended properly, which was why my bumper was gone for a couple of days, the paint was just peeling off.

They only replaced one headlight, with a Depo one, which sucked completely because the fitment never was right on it, plus it doesnt help that they didnt replace the headlight pannel, which is all beat to hell and broken in several mounting places.

Its all slowly getting fixed as I get money and time. Now that I am working :)

And yes, the bumper fit perfectly over the Core support, it did before the bumper was painted and it did after the bumper was painted.
 
Looks better with the bumper.

I still dont know why you sold your old zetec to wind up getting a worse zetec with a MTX...

yeah yeah, im dumb, I know.

Really it was only because I missed driving stick, a lot of crap was going on, I hated my corolla and this car was made avalible to me. When I bought it I really thought it would be a better car then it turned out to be, but I think I just about have everything worked out.
