to clear up a few things...please read.

just want to let you guys know a few things that i get a lot of questions about. thanks.

1. the front bumper is not for sale, i need it to mold to the "secret bumper" we are doing. guarannteed nobody will have this bumper!

2. for quotes, please send me an email, not a PM, as i do not check my PM's everyday. thanks.

3. i will be installing cylinders on an accord within the next month, and i will post enough pics so that any suspension work done by yourself should ne answered with my pics.

4. due to large demand, the show will probably be moved to our local high school parking lot. the original lot wont fit all the cars expected. i will post info as soon as it is available.

5. due to a near death experience last night, i want to extend a personal thanks to all of you purchasing your parts from us. we try to beat every price we can, but it just isnt possible on every item we carry. with continued success we will be able to someday, but when our quotes are a few dollars more than the next guy, just keep in mind we offer professional, experienced, and free advice, and we are always here after the sale for questions and problems. most of these businesses today are not, they are out to make a quick buck, thats all. i dont plan to get rich off of a sale, but i do plan to retire in my 40's simply because of repeat business. i do all of our installs, final sales, accounting, bookkeeping, purchasing, marketing, etc.. myself in order to save you money, and i try my best. thanks again.

6. body is almost done baby!!!!

some 18 wheeler ran me off the road. on purpose. he had his blinker on to get in my lane even though there were no cars or exits for miles in front of us. i was passing and he cut over when i was about 10 feet into the trailor. got all his info and will be calling the company tonight though, cocksucker. if my wife wasnt with me i would have fired about 50 rounds of paintballs on his windshield. nothing pisses me off more than people on the road. you can key my car, its insured, you can steal my head unit, its insured, but when you play with my life i get upset.

anyway, no its not a skyline bumper, i saw it on a cl and it looked putrid, IMO. the bumper i got is being remolded and reglassed anyway so nobody will have it.

bring it!!!!!!!!!! and call me, try to get these guys to give you $10 each, the more cash up front the nicer the trophies. actually i am thinking about doing plaques, they arent as cheesy looking as plastic trophies, and you can actually hang it somewhere and make the room look nice. anyway, keep in touch.

WOW!

I'm really sorry to hear that! I'm glad that you're physically ok.

I hope that driver gets what's coming to him.

Take care!

if you can make it down the day before the show so i can go over the score sheets with you then yes you can be a judge. then we will booze all night and miss the show in the morning! you are going to be busy, and then you cant compete either. but you can sit your car next to mine with a nice temporary mobilewest sticker on it. and your registration is free if you judge too. weigh the pros and cons and let me know asap.

see next to that sentence it says "IMO" that means "in my opinion." what, i am not allowed to speak my opinion now? if you think i am jealous you are wrong. if i was jealous and actually liked the bumper i would have put it on like i originally planned in 2 days and had it painted and on the road before the other cl with that front end was even primered. i could have finished it before the other one was done, called it original, but i didnt like it. maybe putrid was a strong word, but it looked kinda awkward to me, and i didnt like it. it seemed a little too boxxy for my tastes.

sorry if you dont agree with my opinion but this is america baby and i will express myself in anyway i want!

he's got a point, if you talk to anyone who does body work right they will tell you that you cant mold fiberglass to plastic, plastic, or poly urethane expands and contracts, while fiberglass does not, get yourself a nice hot day, and your mold is cracked.

But, you can get that shit fixed and painted in two days right??, so thats cool.

by the way, skyline front is dope:pfawk:

actually, i pumped the heaters up to around 85 degrees a few times in the garage and nothing budged. it also gets down to about 40 degrees in the garage on cold nights so i dont foresee anything cracking. most of the initial modling was done with JB Weld, which doesnt crack. it is basically liquid steel, and when sanded it sparks. anyway, well see.

i agree, the skyline front end is awesome! thats why i originally chose it. but i think it is a little boxxy for the cl, BUT IF HE LIKES IT THEN THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS. i support personal originality to the max. i will have to see what it looks like painted to get the full affect too.
