Make a cardboard pattern and leave it approximately 1/4" oversize if this is your first attempt at fit/shape type work, if you're good with your hands closer means less material removal but greater chance of fitting error. Spray ABS with white primer or cover in white masking tape and transfer pattern to surface. (Tape can lift and pull if you're not careful.) Cut with band saw. Use factory attachment screw holes in corners, locate and drill additional (small) attachment holes in extension and bumper underside lip. Enlarge holes in extension for screw clearance and attach to bumper. See note below. Once you have the attachment points completed and the extension attached, trace a direct outline of the bumper on the extension and trim to preference. When finished, finish sand, prime and paint to color of choice. I used a disc sander for beveling the front lip and sides. The rough cut pattern can be used for both sides, keep in mind that these are mirror image pieces. Note: You can attach extension to bumper with sheet metal screws into the plastic of the bumper. If you want a more solid and durable attachment, pull the front bumper and use T Nuts or something similar on the back side. A T Nut or similar (attaches to the bumper) allows for removal and reattachment of the extension without removing the front bumper.
