Etrik, you have an awesome web page.  Now to the bumpers.  I think the
guy had the body shop sand the grain right off the bumpers till they
were smooth, then painted them with a lot of flex agent in the paint.  I
believe the color he used was a smoke metallic...looked awesome.  I
would find a trashed bumper from a wrecked scirocco, or better yet a
cavalier or something and see if you can get the smoothness you're
looking for without hurting the bumper.  Also, I think the black trim
strip comes out...anyone confirm this?
