Been sanding and playing with bondo and fiberglass getting ready to paint my car. I cut the center out of my front bumper about a year ago and liked how smooth it made the front look so i decided to fill in the "Mustang" name on the front as well. But i cant decide if i want to leave it how it is in the pic below or buy one of those inserts to cover it as well...what you guys think?



Some more pics








Color itll be when done

alot of ppl probably wouldnt notice that you don't have an insert cuz the paint blends it in so id save the work and leave it

Would of been alot easier if I had of bought one of those instead. I spent alot of time cutting plastic and applying layers after layers of fiberglass and bondo then had do some sanding for 3 days lol. Oh well, least I can say I do my own work


What you guys think about shaved door handles on it? I been thinking about that as well but cant decide...

unless its older than 64 then shaved door handles are a negative.

Regarding filling the bumper.....put a licence plate bracket on the front like mine and nobody will even notice.
