Hey i need advice, im pretty much this far *pinches fingers* from buying Lucifers extra Diamante bumper, just need to accumulate the funds, how sad i know, but i blew all my spending money on audio. I was just wondering if it'd look okay on my 4cyl exec, it has the plastic bumper, not coloured. I've only seen em with body coloured bumpers, so i was wondering if u guys would think it'd look okay on mine.

Someone maybe wanna do me a photo shop, so i can get an idea, my fu-****-su laptop dont have powerpoint :doubt:

- Cheers, Brad

OT: Powerpoint?:nuts:
Get The GIMP (http://gimp.org/windows/). It's free. I prefer it over photo$hop anyday, where possible.

That's means i have to get myself a aluminium bumper, then a spray gun, masks, paint, etc. etc. I CBF'd lol. It sounds like a good idea, but i really can not do it atm

why do ya need an alum bumper
can spray the plastic ones
but yeah you either need a compressor, gun and paint or about 5 pressure packs of colour + about another 2 of the plastic primer


oh and another two of the clear
but it's deff doable :D

lol you and me need to get together then with a grease monkey and we'd build a stunna
i can do wiring but not real good at it and can do mechanics but don't trust myself emough in reality
paint / bodywork i've been doing for almost 8 years
bodywork as a hobby and paint as a job
oh and i'm a qualified nothing :D

How much do you want to respray my car? :D:D

Hitman - I did my front diamante bumper with $38 worth of paint from cans.
Even the spray painter at the panel shop said it was a pretty good job.
Sand it till its smooth, give it a few coats of primer, sand that back again (2000) apply one or two dry coats and 2 wet coats to the bumper, let dry, and then hit it with a few coats of clear, let dry for at least 24 hours, then hit it with a cut and polish.
It'll save you $240 in the end anyhow
The job i did im very happy with but i would really like to get all the bumpers done properly


btw isnt Lucifer just selling the lights and grille?

well my old 2nd gen was a 4cyl exec, then i had the series 2 diamante bar on the front in the other blue (the dark navy blue) for about 6 months then got it resprayed to suit my car

the side mouldings and rear bumper was still grey

I can wait:P

If you do work in 2 pac and are cheaper then $3000 maybe we can talk later on:P

Hitman20 - To get all bumpers color coded and side mouldings will set you back Approx $700 from a panel shop, do not pay more :)
