Default Replaced my bumper!! (Fixed Pics)

So I had a F'ed up bumper and finally got a replacement. Me and a couple of my buddies took a couple hours and painted it and put it on..


This is before while were taking the bumper off.. (That's not me ha)


Here's the bumper after we prepped for paint..


And here's all done..




Also got some cheapo lights from advanced auto and put them in there, thought they would look cool which they do but they have limited functionality cause they're kinda weak. I think it looks real good though especially black rather than the silly stock grey. Anyone know how to fix that bumper sag?? well thanks guys hope ya like.

You should be able to loosen up the bumper bracket bolts to fix the bumper sag the whatever you hit definantely moved them, so you just need to move them to how you like it then tighten

Thanks redheadhunter, do I need to loosen all the bolts or you think I can get away with just loosening the side bracket bolts? And I fixed the pics you just gotta click on them now. So what's everyone think?

You should be able to just loosen the sides and readjust as required.

Looks nice, but instead of spending an hour taping off the chrome, you could have just removed the plastics in 2 minutes?

We thought of removing the plastics but realized we didnt have the star bits to remove the bolts on the bottom of the bumper, it only took about 10-15 min to tape it off so no biggie. Thanks for the thought though! And yea I'm going to try just loosening those side brackets to readjust the bumper, I'll let y'all know how it works out. thanks again.
