(09-14-2010, 06:19 PM)Captain America The first thing I would go for is those F'ing toll lane pole things!

In the old w116

How did it like it? those things are though. My buddy hit one in a Toyota SR5 with a Total Chaos front end (so it was pretty high) and one of those things broke the sealed beam headlight! I cant imagine what it would do to the plastic grill, light bezels, and lights themselves....

(09-14-2010, 09:40 AM)garage So have you hit any unsuspecting trash cans or traffic cones with that new beast of a bumper yet?
Car has been DOA for a bit, so no, but it should be running this weekend to go to the PA GTG. Got to wire up the lights still. Im curious if it will make wind noise, its totally invisible from the driver seat, which is something to remember when parallel parking!

I think I will wait until I have a skid plate before I personally take on one of those spring loaded traffic posts! Whacking that thin piece of metal that covers the bottom of the radiator was the cause of a cracked plastic radiator bottom on my wagon. Its pretty exposed down there

reviews on this combination-
the headlight covers, in anticipation of putting in a vent for air intake on the passenger side, combined with the push bumper. I think the grill needs to be black too personally.
Cant decide if I like this or not.

I like the headlight covers, there unique. I think for the vent for the air intake you should put some louvers, or slots, somthing besides a hole and/or mesh. I would definetly black out the grille!! maybe the hood too?
I would say keep it like that! plus a skid
RE: Push bumper - 300D50 - 10-25-2010
Oooh, so minty-fresh is getting the bull bar! I Like!
Black the grill, add louvers with a vac pod on the (dual?) air intakes, so you can close them up at rest.
RE: Push bumper - mike-81-240d - 10-28-2010
Black out the mirror caps too... like DieselKraut's wagon...

RE: Push bumper - sassparilla_kid - 12-30-2013
I'm thinking of building a push bumper over break, but if I do I think I'll make a whole new bumper instead of keeping the stock one, but using the stock bumper shocks. We'll see

woot! like one of those diamond plate steel pickup truck ones? Add a winch.
RE: Push bumper - sassparilla_kid - 01-04-2014
lgreeley probably something like this
RE: Push bumper - lgreeley83 - 01-04-2014
Awesome. Exactly like I was thinking. I was in San Antonio for a few months back in '09... Close to 50% of the pick up trucks had bumpers like that, front and back. Youve got a fan here if you do it!
RE: Push bumper - epowers777 - 10-26-2014
Would like to see this on a lowered car with euro lights.
