No, I fiberglassed it all then smoothed it with bondo. I did ALL of the work myself from bodywork to prep to paint. All ME. lol

A lot of work in there for what it looks like there is. But that is kinda the point. Anyone can notice a flashy bodykit, but I like when people go "something looks different, but I can't figger it out" lol

Well it does look good i must say and i'm sure it was alot of work but the best things are right? You gonna do anything else with the paint or just leave it white... not bad or anything just plain to me...

Yea, it is plain but thats how I kinda planned it. Someone scrapped the back bumper and ruined the paint so..... I dunno. Might go wild with it, might fix it the way it is and do some kinda different paint to it, I dunno. Wanna kit it but I can't bring myself to it, maybe do something custom. I already have a one off custom drift front, just trying to make it look like it should be on the car more(not so square)

WOW! now that's impressive joker! I did alot of my body work before paint but apparently not enough...Blast Macco...Aren't you a little worried about the bumper being damaged somehow and having to replace it? If it wasn't for that than next time i got my car re-sprayed id mold both front and rear bumpers. The owner that had my car before me molded my Vader skirts on.

thats what everyone says "What would you do if you had to take the bumper off or wrecked it?!?!"

Simple answer: I would take the insurance $, fix it myseld for 1/10th of a shop and mod the [shizzle] out of the rest of the car

Why?

[dustbin]

Woulden't your insurance go up if you made the claim though joker? Say you cracked the bumper pretty good and you needed to replace it because it wasn't worth repairing the foot that was missing. How would you take off the bumper? Would you just have to sand down the panel and bumper to where the body filler didn't exist anymore and then unbolt it?

If I was to do something stupid and I screwed it up and had to fix it, I would take a saws all and cut it off, grind the fiberglass off down to the metal, put another bumper on, mold it, and paint the front end.

O and just a little story. When I did this, my auto body teacher told me to try using this material you can use to fix bumpers in order to mold it to the fenders. So I did. Smoothed it out and all, came back the next day and there was hard edges in the primer from the bumper flexing the joint. Teacher told me there was NO way of getting it to go away and to just paint it, so I walked out in the shop and took my wiz blade and cut it clear off the car and started over, he about [shizzle] himself(was about 2 days worth of work) lol. I am a person who has to have things JUST right.

O and what the bumper looked like before I fixed it(was told I wouldn't get it back to looking right).


then

Yea, i don't wanna brag (ok i do) but i am the "plastic guy" in my class.. lol. That [shizzle] can be touchy. did you add plenty of flex additive to the paint over the whole car? Oh and don't kit it... Its good to see some sweet non kitted sixes... I plan on keepin mine au natural! I hope it looks as clean as that... soon the teachers say soon i can get it in the shop... getting impatient!

Yea, the problem was that when you put the bumper on and go to bolt it, you must push the bumper in to line it up, the stress from flexing it makes it push and the slightest bit makes an uneven edge.

I was the "fiberglass guy" no one wanted to touch it but me, I love it.... actully made a mold in my garage of the rear 1/4 on my 97 out of fiberglass..... wonder what for, hmmm
