[s-cars] Re: Pickup Squishes Ms Piggys Snout

[James Murray (QA/EMC)]

Of course it's all up to personal taste, some prefer the original look, some
prefer a slightly more agressive updated look... the Euro bumper requires
changing the support core and mounting hardware, advantage is a snouty
(smaller) snout, disadvantage is less room for FMIC (although it's still
possible is you are willing to cut the core). Either way it's fun and looks
good!

Personally, I don't think the LLTEK valence enhances the looks at all. If
you need a new bumper and someone else's insurance is going to pay for it,
my preference would be the Euro bumper package from Europrice - unless you
have a FMIC which I unerstand may be a little tight fit.

> Exactly -- my driveway is steep at the bottom and the LLTek will scrape,
unless you hit it at the correct angle. But then, the original bumper cover
used to scrape, too. You'll want to avoid pulling up too close to concrete
parking(lot) blocks. Of course, I had the same issue, before the LLTek
install. It was the primary reason the original cover was so shagged up. The
best argument in favor of the LLTek is that it just looks so right.

bumper. It does not hang lower but since it squares off the front that means
it protrudes farther forward than the original.... which means that
depending on the roads you normally drive (for example an incline driveway
could cause scraping with a lowered suspension).
