I just got done trimming the airfoil off the bottom of the stock bumper on my lesbaru:

 

 

Any thoughts about how to connect the bumper to the skid plate is welcome, as right now all I've got is that cutting board plastic.

don't take this wrong..it looks good but,are you gonna even this out?

not sure about where to attach the skid plate..i'd need to be able to look.

 

you could try at the bottom of the rad support..?

I might, it wont take but five seconds, but the thing is is I cut straight across the entire bumper, theres a removable plate ont he other side that has been long since missing. That side droops down further it seems. Although thanks for pointing it out, I probably will make it flush with the rest whenever I get it hooked up to the skid plate.

 

Maybe I oculd just weld another piece of metal and 'extend' the skid plate? hmmm

Looking at it some more, I think it would look better if I spray painted the entire styrophoam backing piece and cut at that line. Thanks!

BTW-what did you use to do the cutting...?

 

i've been thinking of doing something similar,but just to remove the grey area of the front bumper.i was gonna use my roto-zip..

hhahahahhah When I looked at that pic i thought he needed to trim a little there too!!!!

ONE little dremel disc went through that entire bumper like it was nothing. I really expected to cut a few, but cheap plastic junk on the outside, with some styrophoam underneath, and finally the actual bumper.

 

There was a line already on the bumper (just sort of accents, or styling of some sort) and I just cut on it all the way, since I figured it would be hard to get it straight otherwise. I'll be spraypainting the styrophoam now. I will have a new pic when I get it all fixed up.
