Default New rear quarter panel protection/bumper extensions

Not sure what you would actually call these, but I've seen quite a few self made bumpers with them so I figured I would give it a try. Plus I need somewhere to tie my tubes for my tubed flat flares into. I think they turned out decent, still some boxing in and tweeking to do.

Did some lower bracing to give them more strength and capped the ends and finished welding everything on.

And a couple finished shots. I still want to box in the area under the lights but this will work for now.

Lol yeah it does. I wasn't a huge fan of the Sienna at first but I love it now. Especially once you start adding all the black pieces to it. Thanks for the compliment, I think the bumper came out pretty decent.

I made the bumper a year or so ago, so i just added onto it and made the extensions. It wasnt nearly as hard as i thought it was going to be. It's nowhere near perfect but it works for now.
