I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

$3k for a paint job and this is what i get...the paint cracked, lifted and shrunk :mad: also notice the orange peel. i didnt put a picture up of what else happened because its to hard to see but its either sanding marks or the new paint reacting with the old paint underneath but when its in the sun you can see that it looks like there is long hairs under the paint. luckily the guy is going to re paint the whole bumper and wet sand and rebuff the car again all free of charge.

A guy from Brush Valley, Willie Bryan, he painted my dads car and it turned out awesome. I've also seen other cars he has painted and the look great. Guess i was just the unlucky one, but i take it to him today to fix it. He is going to repaint the whole bumper, and then wet sand and re buff

Re: Old Pics of the Ek....

Post by ap_red97ek » February 03, 2009

so i pulled out of my drve way and busted my bumper up where it bolts to the fender on the inside. i dont want to buy a new bumper and have it painted. i was looking for any ideas for a quick fix please...

highway-star and sean@NDF, i noticed you both have those clips on the outside of your bumper, can those be used as a means of holding on the bumper without bolting the bumper on to the fender underneath? also where might i find them? i looked online but i didnt really know what i was searching for and couldnt find them.

thanks
