I modded my crash bar to fit my modded AutoExe bumper, There is a lower box frame that can be cut away that doesnt tie into the bars stands, you can reduce the hieght of the box frome in the front by half. Is this safe, dont know, its probably there for a reason(minimal hieght for a crash zone or something) but I figured the meat of the bar was the upper portion.

I only vaguely remember your request. Im not sure what you would like me to do? I especially cant build anything based off pictures. whatever part you would like I would need the part its fitted to to even know where to begin.
I know you sent me a pm a while ago, but I get so many pms like it that I most likely overlooked it. Send me another messege detailing what you would like, and Ill see what I can do.

oh you have to cut the bottom portion of the crash bar trim a 1/2" in and down on that section of the radiator hole. then you have to shave the part that presses in the corner lights. its a bit too thick to press in with ease. other that that its pre drilled holes new tabs forundertray screws. mesh for everything. not any lower than stock bumper with app package.

how's the fitment?
(aside from having to modify the crash bar)
around the corner lights?
where it meets the hood?
up against the fender?
Just wondering on a scale of 1-10 so people can get an idea of how much work their shop is going to need to put in for that OEM like fitment.

Rotr8, my first choice was a bumper that you were going to make (and still may) and then my second choice was an ATH that is impossible to get into this country at any thing like a reasonable price. Then I thought an R-magic might look nice but alas it was not for me. Chunbelievable brought up this one and it did look nice so.............................
I will be adding something to the grill area. Not yet sure if it will be mesh. That is only one of the things that we will be working on. I have three different sets of fog lights/running lights and want one set to mounted into the bumper. I also want to check fitament and be able to tell the body shop the points that may have to be altered. Armin has transformed his 04 into an 09 so he is able to do body work but the final fitament will be left to a body shop so that the paint and lineup are perfect.
