Post your Pre-89 bumper thread

[shaeff]

Canuck, Regulus doesn't make kits anymore. Finding original pieces is extremely hard, and insanely expensive if you can find them. On that note, if anyone has a Regulus front and/or rear bumper, please get it to Shine :naughty:

Oh I'd never buy the real deal they're ridiculously overpriced just for a stupid name tag :nono:. And yes if someone can get a kit to shine, or knows someone who makes reproductions of them please speak up :1zhelp:

I have an authentic Regulus header panel. Yes, they're expensive, but some people enjoy having authentic pieces.

And I will never let any of my rare parts be replicated. All that does is make them less unique... I used to think like that: "lets get it replicated so everyone can have one" Then I realized in doing so, you take away a lot of the "cool factor" of having said part. What makes it unique when everyone's got one? As such, as long as I own these parts, I'll never send them to be replicated...

That all being said, I should have a treat for this thread in the upcoming months, as I've got a few rare goodies for the front end of my car. Maybe I'll post a teaser next weekend.

I understand where you're coming from shaeff, but they're just so incredibly rare that they're near extinct, well the bumper portion anyway. The pic in here is the only pic I've ever seen of the regulus bumper, god knows how few still exist today, they're like an endangered species that should be preserved.

That being said can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve.

Has anyone got any pics of that Sarona front end? Looks pretty damn clean (near stock!)

I searched around quite a bit and came up empty, there's no other pics besides the same one as on the site and its not very good. I'm sending them an email to see if they have any more pictures of their kit as we speak.

I don't know. That's a question for like, SupraOfDoom er somethin'.

Regulus no longer exists. You either have to find one use, fab one yourself ( not too hard really ), or buy a shit replica from yashar.

The question was do they focus on aerodynamics or looks; not the availability. And I am starting to ponder on fab'ing my own, they seem to share a lot of the same structure.

 

[SupraOfDoom]

I doubt 3 holes is going to help aero dynamics. Maybe add some coiling but Regulus was purely fashion.

 

[Canuckrz]

I was refering to the bumper mainly.

 

[SupraOfDoom]

Well yeah.. prolly not.

there is one other alternative for regulus header panels, but they're no longer in production...
