To everyone interested in the deal, Monday the 13th is when the bumpers should be brought into the bumper shop. Please make sure that you speak to Nestor, and tell him that the bumpers are for the Porsche deal.

I am taking mine in tommorrow. I suffered from some creeping elegance Okay... took mine in today. Nestor was a heck of a nice guy. My quess is it may be one of the last chroming shops left in the greater LA area. They even had 3 AAA bumpers for some teeners that George hasn't picked up yet. I took a turn taking my bumper off.... turned out it was pretty wrinkled and actually one of the tit had pushed it in on one side. Nestor said he could take it all out. Took some before pics and will post afterwards when I get it back. Thought about plugging the license plate holes. He wanted 15 bucks each. Knowing my luck I would get a ticket after having em plugged so I decided to get a couple of CRES carridge bolts. Rob |

I hate to sound like everyone's nagging mother, but we are still waiting for some bumpers... Also if anyone else wants to get in on the deal, ship or bring your bumpers into the bumper shop as soon as you can.

I've been too busy to get one shipped.
How much does he get to close up bumper tit holes? I have two fronts that need some straightening, one with holes and one without. The one without holes needs more straightening, so it might be a wash. |

I believe it is $15 or20 per hole.

I went ahead and broke down and ordered a new rubber molding from Mike914 (Mark). Hoping while my creeping elegance with other stuff that the other guys get their bumpers in so by the time my parts are delivered, can start putting things back together. It will be interesting to see the difference between the OEM back moulding that I got a while back and his mold.
After seeing what happened to the AA car that burt to the ground, think I will replace ALL fuel lines while I wait. That was a purty car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |

I spoke with Nestor yesterday to see if it was too late to still get in. He said no problem, just send them. So I pulled both bumpers and they went out on UPS today, should be there by 5pm tomorrow.
Thanks for putting it together. Don |

I called Monday to ask if he'd received my bumper and he said he got it but hadn't looked at it yet. He was going to call back Tuesday, but I haven't heard anything yet.

I picked up my bumpers today, and engine grill. The back bumper is one that I had rechromed. the front bumper was originally black, and it was stripped and chromed. The engine grill was originally black. I had it stripped and chromed as well.
