Getting real close to getting her back on the road after hell hole repair, tranny rebuild, oil leak elimination (dang, almost got em all..) and now I'm thinking about the winter project being (or not) swapping to earlier bumpers.
I have a nice set in the garage, I just need lights and grilles. Am I (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) to do either? Of course there's other reasons why I qualify, but we'll stick with the bumpers fer now... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) Thanks |

Sigh. It's a personal thing. I like everyone else, think they suck. What do YOU think?

QUOTE(Rand @ Aug 14 2013, 08:23 PM)  Sigh. It's a personal thing. I like everyone else, think they suck. What do YOU think? If you tried any kind of search at all, you would know how bad they suck. But if you haven't been around or searched.... then let me just tell you straight up. The BBB bumpers suck. Get rid of them and never look back. |
