Default Re: Carbon fiber hood weigh difference?

Ok, some butt hole dented my rear bumper. Its very minor, but in the sun,... it just doesnt bling bling the right way.

So...
Im not really into body kits and stuff,... so ihavent the clue of what is out there for us right now

Anyone know of a symmetrical rear bumper for our cars?
I would like to go dual on this biatch so the turbo can breathe a bit more.

I am not a big fan of square type body kits on the 1st gen.

Well any help is appreciated

thanx

You read my mind Dweet. I have a silver RD and my bodykit is coming today or monday, we might be able to work out a deal. Shipping would be a b**** to CA though.

Or maybe.....never mind......damn you and never getting any snow! I was goind to suggest you come to the meet up here in May. A hell of a drive but you'd get a bumper out of the deal.

Default Re: Nitrous and turbo question.

well, where exactly is this ding/dent??

If you want a symmetrical 1st rear bumper, that you can run a dual exhaust w/, I suggest looking into something like this lip....

GT WING



get a hold of Rick at Real engineering and see what he can do for ya.

You might want to take a pic from roughly the same distance and angle and have someone do a photochop for you, I'm not sure how that would line up w/ your turby skirts.

wow that looks nice

the ding is to the right of the license plate

Right on the corner
grrrr

Thanx for the offer on the bumper man.. but may is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo far away.

Plus i would still have to have it painted. I have a house of kolors silver on my car. Although in pictures it might look stock, in the sun it looks like a lighter silver with about a ton of metallic flakes on it.

Its mad bling bling yo

I like that lip...

I would do my exhaust differently though.
I prefer pipes and one muffler, instead of the usuall dual muffler most imports use.

Thanks..

Anyone else?

hahahah

actually the dent is to the left of the red circle on the edge..
its about the size of a 50 cent piece.

Its small..
but it bugs..

i will try and bump it out, although it feels like im going to need something to melt and smoothen the bumper..

ewww....

That's a shitty spot for a dent. I would suggest a little bit of bondo (???) and just get a light little spray of the HOK silver, can't be that bad can it?

But I don't know, find the bastard and kick him in the gonads!

No.. we got the guy..

Bondo on the rear bumper is a very bad idea

HOK SILVER!??!?!?!
ARE YOU KIDDING!?!?!?
I actually show this bastard... imagine.. i might as well bring the ducttape to hold the muffler up...
lol
