                  Members Builds (questions about repair or how to do something belong in the proper forum)


                  I just did my bumpers both in paint and pinstripe this afternoon. Check out the link from my build thread to see the results! I was shocked at how much of a difference the painting and pinstriping did, but put together it's even better. Once I get my side moldings on, it'll look brilliant. The rear was tougher, but the front was more work. With the rear, you need a single piece, which can get difficult and tangled along the way. With the front, you should remove your license plate and holder, and you need three separate pieces to accommodate the turn signals.

                      A couple other pointers... when you fit it onto the bumper, pull on it to keep it tight and true, but not too tight. I have a few stretched spots... it has the strength of electrical tape, but with the adhesive strength of masking tape. I found scissors completely useless in trying to cut it, but blades work great! Good luck to you, they had a whole assortment of colours if you wanted to try anything other than red.

                          I haven't decided which one I'm going to do yet. If the old stuff is thicker/wider than the new, I'll try and get it off before re-taping it. If it gets stuck on, I'll paint over it with the bumper stuff hahaha!
