Should I fill in the bumpers badge?
Ok, I'm having the 97 front end prepared for my car, and while he is doing it I have thought about possibly having him fill in and smooth out the stock badge location. What do you guys think, just figured I'd ask and see what you thought.

i'm not 100% sure what you mean, but it seems you mean you wanna debadge your car, am i right? if that's what you plan on doing, that's cool. i think it'd look cleaner that way

If he does fill it, make sure he uses "fusor" not just some off the shelf filler... if he doesn't, the filler will crack with the least amount of pressure. I forgot to mention that I worked in a body shop in high school, and while i was in community college. Anyways... i hope this helps

Definately not ashamed brian, but I figure it'd be something that most wouldnt have and since the bumper still isnt even primed it would cost me virtually nothing to have him do it real quick, and figured that it might look kinda nice

Same bumper with front mitsu emblem removed (my guess is that this is an aftermarket bumper as most of them dont have it anyway, but are of lower quality than OEM) That is also the lip I will have on the bottom as well, but mine will stand out more as I am painting it flat black and have a red car.
Same thing, just with the emblem
