Now I know that there is at least 50% of the community backing me up on this.. how and why the hell does the front lip of the veilside bumper crack and break at first chance? I mean I had it repaired first time because of my mother who took a speed bump at 45 mph... however this time I ran into a plastic lunch box at 2mph.. my front lip is demolished.. what the... I mean is not there something I can do... I cant be paying 250+ for a new lip time after time...
help!!!! -------------------- Captain Pessimist

plyer is right, use fiberglass strand filler. I would recommend shortstrand for the exterior and long strand on the inside. Little can foam sprayed on the inside helps to keep its shape after hitting things.
The best tape on learning how to install kits and do fiberglass repair and molding is called Fiberglass Installation and Repair+Advanced Bodywork and is available at fiberglass video It taught me alot and I recommend it to everybody. I actually have 2 vcr tapes that have at least 11 videos on them covering everything from making molds, to the above tape, painting, carbon fiber construction. Anybody interested should make me an offer. |
