U74sry is infamous around these parts
heart breaker, just installed the same bumper on mine. I swear, knowing it's fiberglass I'm soooo carefull when I drive, especially on entering and exiting driveways. Well atleast fiberglass is repairable..

Got Ma Face All Busset Up like Tiger!

Fly,

Where did you get the radiator splitters?

I have (I guess is an early version of a Techart Gt body kit) with just the wire mesh covering the intakes and I would like to dress it up. I am going to run up to LA this week and see what the distributor has to offer.

Thanks,

Ponyboy

Sorry Omar I could not resist...

If I have offended anyone my Attorney's name is Gloria Auldridge at I 800 I will represent anyone or 1 800 eat Shi......

Sorry guys it says that I need to make the message longer.



...should go with the smaller lip next time...

Omar,

Can you give me a name?

I have a different front lip that I am going to epoxy a 3/8" piece of aluminum tubing into the curve to strenghten it so it does not crack. Then it will go to MACARBON (who does excellent work... to be covered in CF) I learned this trick from my airplane machanic. He does this in the nose behind the spinner on my V35 Bonanza for the same reason. I guess the end result would be that it either bounces off the obstruction or explodes on inpact. I am thinking about mounting an aluminum skid plate all the way back to the frame to take the blunt of any blow and help the car to go over the obstruction.
