The problem is that i live in dominican republic but i did it with 150us of materials..
I think ship it is very expensive but with these one is very easy to do all the pieces i want..

Props for making it yourself.

I think you made this a tad bit too long though, it sticks out too far.

Seriously. That's a for show bumper right there.
If i were to scrape that or scratch it, i'd be super pissed.
Two months of hard work is a damn long time.

even though you didn't buy the real one it still looks good. you followed the contours well and made it fit without any noticeable gaps.
