well... you'll see! i'm definitely not saying it can't be done... it's just nowhere near as clean and easy as the others i've done. the step in the 135's bumper is a little more drastic/abrupt than the ones you pictured. the problem is there's an abrupt disconnect in the line of the front bumper on two separate planes, meaning there is no contiguous surface to bridge from the center to the corners of the bumper. the ones you pictured have a step, but there's still a contiguous surface for the lip to follow. i guess technically both of the 2 strips i bought worked, but the shape of the lip as it worked around the step in the bumper just looked terrible. some design improvement could make it work better.
