[@CertifiedShadetree]

We're not quite into the GoPro era yet - this was recorded about a month before I bought the new camera..

Man I wish you had a 10th gen impala lol. Make my world a lot easier.

[@CertifiedShadetree]

Maybe when the prices come down!! Would've paid ten grand more for a 10th Gen 15 LTZ!!

The paint match looks good and for the price the bumper looks real good. I am not crazy about the folding bumper I idea. I replaced my front license plate bracket with a new one and it's didn't take long for someone parralel parking that backed in to it and cracked it. Oh well.

Up in my neck of the woods, front license plate frames get destroyed when we unintentionally ram into snowbanks in the winter! 🤣

40:02 The whole time I was watching you install the new bumper, I was saying out loud, "Shouldn't the lower grill be mounted first?!" 🤔I only thought that because I previously watched a video that demonstrated how to remove the bumper in order the change that grill. I was thinking, if you cannot change the lower grill without removing the bumper, then how is he, meaning you, going to mount the grill after the bumper is already installed, but you made it work. 👏If only that grill could be removed and replaced without removing the bumper. I would prefer the mesh grills for my 09, but I am not going through the trouble of removing that bumper. The top grill would be easy.

[@CertifiedShadetree]

I definitely should've installed the grilles with the bumper removed! Would've been easier to see if all the tabs went in properly. The upper one was just as much of a pain to remove! The only realistic way to remove the lower grille with the bumper in place would be to cut out the middle portion to access the mounting tabs..

@@CertifiedShadetree That's an idea. 🤔 Hmm!

[@MissLiveLaughLove1]

@@CertifiedShadetree Just noticed I typed grill instead of grille. 🤣😂 I am so special.

[@CertifiedShadetree]

Ha, it didn't even register with me! Now if you had added an "e" to the end of "potato" that would be a whole different issue!! 🤣🤣

Ya i cracked my bumper to last December 22 , didn't take much , pay all that money for plastic

[@CertifiedShadetree]

That's exactly it, you pay all that money for plastic - CHEAP plastic!

@@CertifiedShadetreei was never in an accident , and the roads were just so slick, i was turning onto a side street was going under 10 mph , but slid into a older pickup, didn't do no damage to his vehicle, so i was able to not have to go through the insurance, i knew my bumper was cracked, but not something i couldn't get fixed, its just the idea, going that slow and cracked it to crap , i mean seriously come on

[@chipjumper]

Have you considered Dr Colorchip to clean that hood nose up? My red ‘13 looks so rough.

[@CertifiedShadetree]

I actually have some of that Langka stuff. Pretty much the same thing..

[@chipjumper]

So much home-cookin on MSP right now. Will the refs beat the Lions ?

[@CertifiedShadetree]

Opening the doors of the stadium was a brilliant strategy, denying the Lions a FG. It was reminiscent of the staff at the old Metrodome blasting the fans towards home plate when opposing teams were up to bat..
