Re: Rookie Custom Globe Build

Your right.... STeve's bumper wins out! Looks better. I wish Steves bumper was a little closer to the front wheel, but all in all it looks great!

Re: Rookie Custom Globe Build

The bumper arrived yesterday and looks great. I am going to play with it this weekend and see how it will go. I am also trying to find who make the visor on the globe picture you attached?

Thanks...
