The Bus can haz a bumper and some cat eyes.

LOL cats are funny. I don't care who you are.
I decided to paint the bumpers and throw on some driving lights.
I picked them up on clearance. Remember- clearance is your friend.
I think the price was right.

These are almost too Fast and Furious to use.
Evidently they are supposed to glow blue when not in use. I bought these a while ago. I thought I would throw them on the bumper.
They look weird. But, for 10 bucks- I'll keep them for a while.








I was thinking of leaving the black stripe
in the bumper. I decided against it.
I think color coded bumpers are the way to go.
All red.
I may put a chrome bumper impact strip in the middle
where the black in this picture is. Chrome is good.



The black would
be too much for the white in the roof.







I apologize for the poor quality
Picture. The flash from my Canon is lighting up the "glow Blue," feature of the driving lights.
I like the all red bumper. I think the chrome headlight rings, along with the chrome VW symbol will be enough to offset the all red bumper. The chrome bumper impact strip may tie it all in nicely.







The lights are going to have to grow on me.
If the lenses were clear, I'd have no problem
with them. I may have to modify them later.







The bus is coming along.
The leaves are starting to fall and winter
is nearly here.
I'm running out of time. I need to paint the interior and get the bus sealed up.
