Ok Ben, Thanks, let me know a price, and let me know what you need help on and I'll see what I can do.
Is she running yet? Do you take it up to sonic?

Actually, I would have saved the molds, but the way I made them, they had to be broke to release the part.
But yes, I do like keeping some stuff "unique":icon_razz

Yay Ben! Up and runnin! Sounds nice, can't waite to see it.

That adapter should not be a problem, are you using the "power" TB like mine?

And yes, the bump and header panel (not too picky about the quality of the header, it's bent and I need a new one) But the the bump is the shineautoproject "gracer", so it's fiberglass and will need preped and all that jazz. Later on I will get the whole car done.

im actually just gonna prolly be using the stock TB off my friends 03 GT

i forgot to ask him today, but the way he works is hell end up painting the entire front end of your car, not just the bumper in order to blend it all together

my guess is that itll be about $250 total for it, thats including all materials, paint and labor, but ill get a def price tomorrow when i head up there (got a few gauges to wire up

Ok, thanks Ben, I will more than likely just take him the bumper and header panel to get it done, I'm working on other things on the car, so I would not beable to just drop the whole car off.

Are you going to be at sonic this weekend, I may try to come up there for a bit.

Ok, I know there has been a lot of talking and no action so here are some pics of what I've been up to, new bump and HKS BOV......
The pics are dark, I know, it is BRIGHT outside and the bumper is black against a light background, but it will soon be painted! ::salute::

Thanks Nate!


I just got back from driving her for a bit, this was after not driving it for over 2 months.(I forgot how fast she is :icon_twis )
I scraped pulling out of the drive, not bad, just hit a bolt on the bottom that goes to the bottom bumper support. So coming back in I had to come in at a 45* , so now I have to move 2 cars out of the way to get the sup out:biglaugh:

BTW everyone, new pics on the last page, of the bumper and stuff. And I added links on the first post to all the pics in this thread.
