Never mind Tom and Cris, Esty's way is right - we are all dick heads.
Do it right the first time and be happy with your outcome. You have to fill the gapping holes from the old ones, why not cut new holes for the bumper mounts.
I love the Mintgrun! I am a huge fan of both of those 70's greens on a 2002... A real piece of the 70's! This car will look superb when it is done!
