Damn! Is that bondo all over the car? I hate it when people slap on some body filler and think it solves all problems.

Overall not too bad. Did you check the frame rails and floor boards for rust?

I had no problem registering mine plus I've been pulled over by cops twice (no front plate/ speeding, illegal U-turn) and neither time did the cop even mention the bumpers. So if you can get away with it here in the Peoples Republic of Illinois, you can probably get away with it anywhere....
