Default Volvo S70 GLT Bumper Grill

So i got sick and tired of looking at my boring GLT bumper and decided to give it a new look. I researched some tutorials for grills and came across one to make a mesh hood grill and used their idea of gutter grate! You can pick it up from your local Home depot for about $2! All i did was cut the mesh out a little larger than the opening and used really short screws to hold it in without making them visible through the plastic on bottom. i will post more pictures tomorrow.

I also plan to do the right and left air dam's but the tow hook on the passenger side need to be removed so that might be a couple weeks. Tell me what you think!

I was also thinking about getting this bumper from the junk yard and making a mold out of it and making fiberglass body kits. If so would anyone be interested in purchasing a bumper kit for this car?

i havent started this project eta to start is middle of april need warmer temperatures to work with the glass at my buddy's shop. But basically all i am doing is making those front air dam's about 1.5" to 3" larger droppping the bumper a bit givin it a more agressive look.a simple chop and mine will be molded with glass and if enough people want one i might think about doing all fiberglass ones. But i can also do the same method i did with mine and just get the bumper from junk yard locally and then chop and mold it. Let me work on a photoshop of my bumper and i will post those in about a week.

There are a few nice looking bumpers out there. Maybe you can look at a few of them and get one that is already done.
