Wow thats really sweet. Too expensive to justify though, cause I'm talking about curb rash on stock rims. Impressive though...

another so called MOD i'm searching right now, car cleaners. I bought a cheap OEM rear bumper already painted for $75, but it has scratches . I'm shopping around now for which polishers to use to help bring this paint back to life instead of just paying to get it done. So far I'm thinking I might actually try to sand it (the needed spots only), touch up paint, then fine sand, polish, wax, and seal. I started last night by clay barring it in my basement and using a fine fine polish, then viewed it under a lamp to see how much work I have to do.

I was also thinking about buying two of the cheap fake mazdaspeed replica rear ends and cutting them up. I'm trying to design a single exhaust rear bumper on my autocad (my exhaust is the HKS hi-power single), and i think i maybe able to do it using two of the fakes and fabbing something up, then letting a pro paint it. Of course the main concern is having it look OEM, but if it's designed correctly (and built correctly) I believe I can pull it off.

i'm researching on autopia.com, seems if you follow others instructions and do it right the first time things should turn out pretty good
