Little update, got the bumper all repaired and repainted, came out pretty good , and got some vette lights corners for it, will put those in this weekend.
What is the rate for painting a front bumper today?
Man, I can relate! I See dead Raccoons here constantly. I am surprised at the amount of damage though. Good that you can fix it youself!
And you did an amazing job!!
Thanks I appreciate it, I actually did it in my driveway, to answer the question of the going rate, I was gonna let a bodyshop do it for me as I didn't really feel like doing it, but was quoted 2700 ...
crazy prices, that's why car insurance goes up ..
Anyways, my total cost was 36 dollars for a pint of paint, 50 for a quart of clear, and 37 for a quart of primer...
Funny I read this today. I have a contribution, but mine my be better fit as "My car is so low......"
I'm lowered on aftermarket bolts. Last weekend I was driving around, ran into some traffic. I couldn't swerve since I'm on skinnys up front, but ended up hitting a skunk that was already dead and flattened. The carcass apparently was solid and y'all enough to make direct contact with the charge pipe from my Vortech/A&A setup. Not only did it rip the pipe from the couplers, but completely out. It was instantly being dragged under the car at 50mph, needless to say my heart dropped. This even also occurred coming out of boost, I could only imagine the worst with all the noise. I saw my oil pressure was fine, check that instantly. Car was still running, so I hopped out and dropped to the ground on the side of the road to see the charge pipe stick under the front subframe.
Zero other damage, not even to the couplers. New pipe, new clamps, scrape the stinky bits of skunk from a few points under the car, then I'm good to go. My garage smells awful.
