[s-cars] bumper

[Steve Mills]

Doug-

Weather and wife permitting, it should get done next week or worst case
next weekend. The biggest issue with Euro bumpers here in the US is
shipping them from Europe. They are light, but far from small.

Also, it's not all upside- they are far easier to damage than the stock
bumpers. I had someone just tap my Euro rear bumper and it cracked all the
paint to the point that it had to be completely stripped and repainted.

I would definitely do the Euro front again, but if my rear ever gets
trashed I may look into modifying an NA bumper to fit closer to the body as
I did on my UrQ.
