cliff notes:
turning a mirage into a lancer.
newb made fun of a noob.
gas prices suck, but are getting better.

Lmao. I like the recap. Maybe cause Im in it, but its funny.

interesting fact. this weekend we will be mounting a blitz style evo8 bumper to the car.

its a decent close fit. the depth is good and so is the height. it is about 6 inches too wide though... but not for long.

 

[MthaFuknGreen]

you gonna cut it?

 

[TurboMirage]

yeah, and fiberglass it. i know a guy who does excellent work.

 

[MthaFuknGreen]

this dude on another forum said that fiberglass is no good for bumpers and such after i suggested that a guy zip tie, fiberglass and sand his bumper cuz there was a fat crack in it..
but then yesterday, he told someone to use fiberglass on their bumper..
i was like, wtf?
he said he went to school for body work.
now im confused.

 

[TurboMirage]

considering the bumper IS fiberglass i dont see the problem.

The interface between the grill/headlights looks like it will take some massaging.

That guy is what I like to call a douche bag. Fiberglass isnt good to use on bumpers? Walk through a parkin lot, any parkin lot, and look at the number of cars that have fiberglass bumpers. From the factory or otherwise.

now i feel better about my improvisation skills.
cuz this dude lived in italy and he couldnt find another bumper for shit for his 90 prelude except an 89 which would mean hed have to swap the taillights, rear fenders and trunk lid or itd look stupid..
so i said the ziptie and fiberglass thing and a different guy said thats the worst idea hes ever heard.
he said the next rock he hit would break it all off..

There's a difference between fiberglassing a plastic bumper, and fiberglassing a fiberglass bumper.

 

[MthaFuknGreen]

whats the difference?
besides the obvious..

 

[klyph]

Nothing, just the obvious.

 

[MthaFuknGreen]

lol.
just the fact that its fiberglass on plastic and not fiberglass on fiberglass?

 

[klyph]

yes, plastic is more flexible, fiberglass is rigid, so if the plastic flexes, it will crack where the fiberglass is bonded to it. U unnastan?
