if you drive the car daily i WOULDNT DO IT!!!! i have had my paint and rear bumper completly re-done twice by two different body shops and its cracked again on both sides. i have never seen a daily driver w/ a molded bumper not cracked. if you find a better way to do it please tell me how,cause i love the look,but it sucks re-painting my car



AND ITS NOT PURPLE !!!!!! LOL ....I GET THAT ALL THE TIME

What material is the lip you had molded on? My bodyshop guy won't touch fg, he only molds if i have ABS or (preferably) polyurethane. He uses urethane to mold it on, and unless you slam into a curb you shouldn't be cracking.

alot of molded kits get stress cracks not really like curb slamming cracks but little fine cracks along the seams

Molded kits will always crack, its only a matter of time. I hate when people think that they wont, its just something you have to deal with.

yea it will crack. But hey thats what it costs to be one of those really nice looking car show quality cars. Thats why ive given up my dream of being in a show and doing well. I just cant compete with cars that are not daily driven like mines.

Not sure why anyone would have the front bumper molded on. What if you have to take it off for some kind of maintenance? Or changing the headlights and so forth? Mine is gonna look real clean and fit perfect, but it's not going to be molded. The sides and the rear are molded on though. Car should be done this next Tuesday. Going in for clear coat today and gonna sit until Tuesday and get buffed...that is unless the bodyshop guys are screwing me over again.

it looks chopped to me.

if its real tho, if you look close at the rear bumper, you can already see that its not as clean as it should be. you can see where the seam would be coming from the lights and all that.

i wouldnt mold the bumpers, but the sides...yeah.
