Front End Rework...

[Ch4r1ie]

Just finished reworking the very tired front end...

Before:

After:

Work done:

1. Bumper cover dent removal (it was there when I bought it... honest!) and respray
2. Hood catch beam(?) paint black
3. Installed FR500s Front Bumper Beam (M-17757-A) & Tow Hook Loop Kit (M-17954-A)
4. Installed black halo headlights & black turn/parking lights

Unfortunately, due to local laws a new license plate has to go on :-(

Cheers, but how so regarding the tow hook... it's attached to the frame and seems to do OK on the FR500s??

Is there any weight savings with the tow beam?

 

[ReMustang05]

Oh my mistake, I thought it was just attached on the front of the bumper for looks. Good job man! Real clean install

Who would install a 'cosmetic' tow hook?? That's just stoopid!

Where would you even buy a faux tow hook?? The same shop that sells faux steering wheels maybe??

Unfortunately I didn't weigh the new beam before I installed it, but I very much doubt it. If anything the new beam might add a very small amount of weight, as it appears to be more robust with an additional plate at the bottom (to prevent buckling I presume) and, obviously, the tow hook attaching arm at the top.

IDK Possibly the same place that sells faux hood pins? you know those awesome stick on ones.. would you seriously be surprised if there are fake ones out there?

Did you paint the lower part of the front bumper black? I really like that.

Cheers! Yes, I had the lower lip and up into the lower grill area all done black and matched with the Agent 47 lower grill so that it blends perfectly
