    Frankenstein bumper (SiR-T into 2 OEMs with a lip)

    I spent some more time on it this weekend, mixed like 10 more small batches of fine filler and just kept building up and sanding down in all the spots i could see needed more work. Also shot some primer onto it because i was finding it harder and harder to see flaws because all the filler layers...

    Quality isnt cheap. Plus like i said, there was a good deal of work done on my fenders, especially the rear. Lots of pulling and hammering to widen the back. Plus all the dings and dents.

    Cant give you an accurate quote on that since most was covered by insurance from the guy who hit me. His insurance paid out 2200 and i gave all that plus another grand to my buddy so there was a hookup involved too. The extra grand was basically for all the fender work, and custom work on the...

    Correct, no more NHBP, i changed it to Copper Red Mica (Mazda color) 3 years ago. And all the CF was tinted using the same color blended into clear to thin it out.

    Ill be following with those lights soon. And thanks for confirming my suspicions about having to hack the frame to get it to fit. Ill be putting my own twist on it too, as usual. Got any pics of the back of the housing after completion? Is it fully sealed?

    It does bond realllllly well and while id be willing to bet itd be fine without the reinforcements, i did some anyways. Once the front adhesive cured i applied more on the inside of the joints, and in the case of the upper grill area, i used fiberglass tape which i then smothered with the same...

    The vertical bars are going to be hidden anyways because there will be matching mesh in the top and bottom grills. I kinda like your photoshop too. I guess ill just have to look at it up close and see if itll be possible to do it cleanly.

    Frankenstein bumper (SiR-T into 2 OEMs with a lip)

    I did think about it, did a little doodling on my phone I actually kind of like the added bar in the middle, adds more to the bumper, last thing i want is for the bumper to end up too simple. I intially liked the look of the euro r style with the bigger, more open, lower grill but i guess i...

    Frankenstein bumper (SiR-T into 2 OEMs with a lip)

    Its still sitting in my closet, just another one of the things that i had a vision for but it along with all of visions where benched when i lost motivation to finish, but ive since reignited the fire i had before, so look for all those projects to pop up again, one at a time. I tried starting...

    Finished the shaping of the lip. Started to lay down the fine filler, first layer. After lots of sanding, got it smoothed down. Thats it for this weekend, ill get back to it next weekend.

    For the time being the lip is removable from the bumper. Still undecided if i want to mold that in too or not.

    the removable grill sits farther back in the bumper and imo looks better. I've never been a fan of how the 01-02 grill looks up against the hood. i liked the tucked back look of the 98-00 I chose the 01-02 bumper as the base bumper because i like the edges it has under the headlights whereas...

    Theres a work around for that. Insert a 3ohm resistor into the socket and the light goes out because it thinks the airbag is still there.

    got new seats so im selling these. They're made by CipherAuto, these seats are made to look like the Recaro Sportster CS seat which is ridiculously expensive. They are in great condition, 9/10. includes the sliders but not the brackets, you'll have to get those on your own to fit your car...

    im changing up my airsetup a bit and dont need these tanks anymore. i know it'll be kinda hard to sell here but it's worth a shot. all 3 tanks are brand new, never installed. they are the RAW finish since i was going to paint them. new price is $95+shipping which is pretty much what i paid...

    Air Ride/Audio build log

    i cant tell at the moment because the interior is gutted so i hear a lot more than i normally would if i had my interior installed still. but tapping on the panels outside the car you can clearly hear the panel is more solid in the deadened areas as opposed to the undeadened parts.
