I have always liked the clean simple look of the early cars and I definitely appreciate the lighter weight. I went with the fiberglass bumpers with the rubber tops molded in. You would not believe what the 75/76 bumpers and hardware weigh! I weighed everything and it came in at exactly 100lbs. The bumpers I'm bolting back on weigh 5 lbs a piece. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) That ought to make my car a bit more nimble...don't ya think? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

QUOTE I'd really like to see a front with the valance encorporated with it. One that would still have the stock look but not the 916 look That would be cool. Nice valances are hard to come by these days! Have you seen the whole bumper w/ spoiler made out of CF by one of our elite craftsmen on this site? Simply awesome!! |
