Kirk Evens bumpers

I've seen several installations. All said the install was a snap, fitment was nearly dead on - a little file touchup here and there. Finish is excellent even before painting. Yes, they cover all original rubber bumper mounting holes.

Kirk's items are all high quality - you would not be dissapointed at all.

For a finishing touch and to really bling up your front end, adding a set of the GT5 front signals would do wonders.

You know who sells these by now, don't you? Big Grin

Yeah I got 'em Brad. I'm at work still, I can post a pic later this evening when I go home. Mark DeCasiens Pantera has them too.

I didn't file them or anything, just had them painted & bolted them on, done. My ultimate goal is to have the Gp4 bumperless look, these were a temporary measure until I get around to the body work & paint. They are certainly better looking than the L bumper. I personally like the Euro mini bumpers better, but they don't hide the holes.

I've never stopped do do a proper photo shoot of my Pantera, just one or two here and there. The spoiler is black and it sits back under the car, to get a good shot of it would require reflecting some light under the car, something I've never done. Here's a couple of so-so pics.

The car was sorted out while it belonged to the previous owner. Some of our Seattle area members know the gentleman. The car was for sale on ebay & Mike Mayberry scooped it up, had it driven to LA, cleaned up & sold it to little old me.

The suspension has steel bodied Koni shocks with the spring pre-load adjusters. The rear springs are set to make the rear lower control arms parallel with the ground. The front springs are set to level the car. (These are the settings that I remember Mr. Woodhouse recommending more than 20 years ago.) Personally, I would like to set the nose a little lower, but the handling is already twitchy, I need to have the front upper control arms modified by Pat Mical first. Yes the wheel/tire is set up just perfect in the wheel well, they stick out about as far as possible without rubbing. The wheels are the old Etoile brand, sold by Kinesis. The shocks have Collector's Choice decals on them. I would say the suspension is the work of Collector's Choice, or perhaps Dennis Q.
