ideas for body before paint

232stang01 · **ideas for body before paint**

I'm beginning to realize that I need cosmetics, (every frikkin day) and I figured I'd put it to yall. wha would you do, knowing you didn't want tospend an ass-load of $, and you knew you needed new paint all around, and had a dicked up (however minute) front and rear bumper cover? I've decided to keep laser red. What do yall think for the bumper covers? Pics would be good as well...

Id say screw getting a new cover just get the fogs cut out (if you havent already) get the GT foglights, a Mach1 chin, Grill delete, and GT rear bumper. Cant get any cheaper and cleaner look.

I'm pretty much gonna have to get the new cover, as my ex bumped it with her truck and left the (slight) impression of the reciever hitch. (dumb broad)

Get this. Since Brandon didn't know how good his car looked,

- '99-'01 Cobra Front Bumper
- Bullitt Side Skirts
- Saleen Side Scoops
- GT Rear Bumper
- Saleen S-281 3-Piece Wing

lol, but dont get the 3 peice wing, its to busy, the single peice flows much smoother with the car.

If you can find someone who knows how to do it and find the right kit where the door actually pops when you press the button.

Most people who I've seen do it weld on some metal on and then slap some bondo over it and call it done. They don't account for the metal shrinking and they don't stretch it back out and spend the time on it.

thats why you take it to a good body shop.

Dom · 02-06-2005, 05:06 PM

You don't find out that if it's good or not until you've had the work done.

lowflyn · 02-06-2005, 05:15 PM

Word of mouth is the best way...

Kiljosh · 02-08-2005, 10:14 PM
