Brad,

This is the first time I've seen the bumpers installed on a painted car and I really like the blue.

Just an FYI to the readers---This new style was designed as a counter part to the front splits. The most important improvement is they do not require new holes for mounting---just the impact shock hole so you can put the original L rear bumper (or fronts if you are using the splits) back on at any time.

Here's a picture of the L replacement front split bumpers.

I'm having trouble with my email account for the website listed as kre1@adelphia.net it is now kre1@roadrunner.com or you can try kre@adelphia.net.

If you need or want more info on the bumpers and do not receive an answer back within 24 hours, please re-send the request or give me a call.

Thanks Kirk

Save 23.5 lbs and good looks.....priceless. How much weight does the front bumper conversion save Kirk?

Best,

No, the bumpers are glass and come ready for priming and painting.

The finish and fit is excellent. I painted mine and put them on the car yesterday. Car is on the hoist so I can't get very good pictures just now, but I stood back and was very happy with the results.

My car came witht he USA L series bumper which doesn't suit the car and and I really wanted the Euro look. Unfortunately to repair the large holes left when you remove the L bumpers would require the car to be painted so I chose to go with Kirk's new design.

The car now looks fantastic and I can't wait to get the radiator back in, new windscreen fitted, and be back on the road.
To install the front, you do not have to remove anything but the old L bumper, impact shocks, wheels/tires and the wheel well shields for inner fender access.

For the back, you need to remove the L bumper, impact shocks and you're ready to install the new split rears---that's it.

The front bumpers bolt into the original 3 holes on each side and the rears have a mechanical fastening system attaching to through the impact shock holes---no drilling is needed to install the new design.

Hope this helps.

Kirk
