Another painted bucket thread....
But this one has pictures!
I know the direction I'm going isnt gonna be to everyones taste, but I wanted to toss up a couple of pics so the guys who are considering this mod can get a better idea of if its something they want to pursue.
I'm extremely happy with the way they turned out. Not only does Roger do really good work, hes also a decent guy and really easy to work with.
My experience with the front fascia was a bit different than GryPnys though. There are a couple of bolts up behind the buckets that I just could not get to. However, it only took a local shop 20 minutes to drop it, pop the buckets in and zip her back up.

I guess I'm lucky that I didnt really ask your opinion, Thumper.
Now please go back to Stangnet.

Looks nice, I think it really cleans up the front end. The bolts you had trouble with - are they the ones that attach the bumper cover to the fenders?

yup, yup. they are situated up behind and beneath the bucket. Very small space to get into with a regular ratchet. And it will also help if ya have ramps to pull up onto (which I didnt)

When I saw the head on shot it looked kinda odd to me, but the 3/4 front shot looked really nice.
Can you post some more pix at different angles?

yeppers, as soon as I can get some more I will. It was late in the evening and I was losing the light fast. I'll try to get some better pics tomorrow.

Thanks, for the pics, Mike.
I have to admit, (even though I HATED the black buckets when the pre-production photos were released) this mod just isn't for me.

Yeah, I geuss we are the minority. It just doesnt really do anything for me.
