Customizing a Subaru bumper (front end)

So this is... Well it was a dead standard stock bumper for a Subaru Forester XT 2.5

Last week I added a post of where we fixed the bumper with wires and stitches.. This is the same bumper and we are going to modify it using the same techniques

If you missed out on that please feel free to go check out the previous article

You see the reason we cut up this bumper was for one of our good friends..

He wants a custom bumper.. Because the stock one looks a bit like a puppy's toy.. And he wants to move his intercooler from the top mount and then mount it on the front. So that will need to stay cool as much as possible

After cutting the excess of the bumper we want we took a piece of an old Honda civic bumper and cut it out.. Fortunately for us we have alot of bumpers lying around

The piece we cut out of the Honda bumper will be added to the custom one to make it a bit stronger and to give it a lip that goes inwards

So what we did next I did explain thoroughly in the previous post.. So I will only post the pictures here of what we did and how we added the piece of Honda bumper to the Subaru.. Keep in mind when we are done with it you won't see any excess wires at all
