I just finally got my pre-98 Micah bumper painted and installed, so I thought I'd post a few pics.
My camera sucks, so pics aren't super great, but you can see it pretty good.
Also has Elky mesh in lower grille. I am going to paint it black because I like the black mesh better.

Here's the pics:









The bodyman had to spend 7 hours just to prep it so it would look ok with paint, because the bumper was so rough as it came from Micah. It cost me $1100 to prep/paint the front bumper and the side skirts. But at least I was able to get it to turn out ok. You can still tell the molding is not totally symetrical. The lump on the top driver's side of the bumper is larger than on the pass side. You can hardly tell though unless I point it out to people. Also, from the side view, THE BODY LINES DO NOT LINE UP. Oh well, nobody has seemed to notice but it just seems hokey to me. I wonder if I should have just patched two OEM bumpers together to get SVT front. It looks pretty good I guess, for being on a $3500 car. I wouldn't put that quality of bumper on a $20,000 car though

But I think it turned out ok

That looks great!

Looks good, altough those tires are for a rwd platform. there... FAT haha

I still have yet to finish installing these (ON THE LEFT) in the foglight holes:



...but w/ yellow filters:


They are the universal Hella 90m H9 modules fitted with yellow glass camera filters:



And I also ground the cutoff shield inside to provide a straight cutoff line with no flare.

That should round off the package nicely?

...w/ RWD tires an all

so when are you going to start producing projector lights for pre98s

yea those wheels look like what the euro guys have on their audis, vw's

thats a ridiculous amount to pay though...you could've got a custom made bumper from any car you wanted for that price. I heard Micahs bumpers were low quality but damn!

holly smoly! thats the first one ive seen in that color and i love it. I have micahs bumper as well. i think i had on of the originals that were used to make teh molds, mine is fiberglass. But i got a great deal on my prep and paint, 450 to do all the work to the front bumper, patch the corners of the fiberglas hood FedEx broke off and paint it, and to prep and paint my sides. I agree with the lines not matching up. i have a pic in my sig of my car right next to a svt and you can tell that the bottom of the bumper looks to be tilted towards the ground a lil more, because the bottom corners of my bumper are lower than his. but anyways, great pre98, cant wait till you produce those lights, that is if your going to. later.

I love it, and I think it stands out with that color.

Sweet!
