Haven't seen that one Mike - is it new? Who did it?
Any close-up shots of how the custom lower is attached to the stock upper? What material is it?
Hmmm, I suppose this isn't the right place to discuss this - I could break it out as a new topic, if only I remember how....

I think it's a snow-plate grafted to a stock bumper.

IMO, looks like someone is ruining a decent XR4, and given the XR4 a bad name with the way it looks, but if thats what you are into I guess go for it

I guess this pic/post were "moderated"... It was originally posted in retaliation for Brad's "custom" grill treatment pic.. The car belongs to a dork I once had the misfortune of dealing with.
Here's a pic of the shelf, "T"! (sorry, Ian..... a little Pepto Bismol works wonders!)
And from the side!

That does REALLY place the wing in the airstream. However, lifting the front wheels of the car off the road when you hit 60 mph isnt very safe.
