I guess you all missed the part where the guy said he lives in SPAIN AND UNLESS YOU HAVE FAT POCKETS SHIPPING SUCH A A BUMPER WOULD COST A LOT.
I agree that is one sweet bumper but i wouldn't crap it up with a sticker next to the name. there would be tomuch going on in that corner. just my opinion

A) Very nice fab work.
B) I agree with the previous post. The name on the corner is just the right touch. Adding more to it would clutter the design.
C) You could offer two options for the North American market. As was suggested before, you could sell the files that allow for all the laser cuts, for anyone with an interest in going and having a local shop cut the plate steel. Or you could cut the steel and package it flat for shipping and the purchaser could weld the kit together themselves. I imagine the shipping would still be pricey, but less so than a full-size bumper, due to smaller dimensions.

And add my voice to the cries of "I want one!"

WoW!

I don't know how I missed this thread but I'm glad I found it.

I can't tell you how awesome I think that is - it's so cool to see regular guys doing what they love and not to mention coming up with such a great finished product.

I only wish I had access to all the tools and the money to do what you guys did - seriously an awesome job.

If you ever decide to make them for '05+ Tacoma's you let me know, I will buy one.

Great build man... On the mouse, I think he should be standing and have a welding hood on. Although I agree that you really don't need a sticker, the logo looks just fine alone, and overall it'll be cleaner.

Cheers

Dave

I did a little shameless promoting of this product on the uk hilux surf site so you may be hearing from some EU customers doc.

Nope, which is why I went with XM in the first place. It's a Howard-free zone.

Hi Folks !!!
I was very bussy, last weeks...
Got some news on the bumper. We did the retrofit of the corner lights into position lights due to european laws, and fit some nice hella 75FF fog lights into the bumper. In fact we like it more now.
I let you some pics of the result. Thank God we didn´t have to repaint the bumpers, just triming very carefully and put some mark around. In fact the mark is not necessary, just bling hahahahah

But the best of all is ... Sooner as you imagine, we´ll show you our new Candy... Thats all I can tell you ... hehehehehehehe
