10596, attn: daved, question about your nose (car)
Posted by DHmav51, Dec-13-01 12:02 PM
i have two questionsa about your nose. i've got the blitz style kit (yes, people of the board, you can beotch smack me later for that), and i was wondering if your was the carisma kit, and also, how you attached your grill, or if that factory mounted like that.

Can't remember the exact brand of the front end. I got it from my local shop in Jacksonville at Aero Trends. The grill is attched using some epoxy stuff they used at the body shop. Some type of black glue. I asked them what it was at one time and they didn't say, but they did say any type of epoxy that says it bonds to fiberglass will work. My grill is actually loose right now but thats not because the glue doesn't hold it's because some girl ran me off the road and the bumper has a cracked in it now and the force of hitting the grass, dirt, rocks, etc. broke the glue loose on the grill, but just in one corner, not noticable to the average person but noticable to me everything has to be perfect when it comes to my ride. I am back home in Tampa for the holidays if I can find my recept for the front end I will let you know who actually made it.

daved: thanks for the info, i wasn't sure if regular epoxy would work or not. aerotrends is where i got my body kit from too, since it was closer to tennessee, and cheeper than ordering it straight from carisma.

All4thaN0okie: i'd get rid of that nose in a heartbeat, just for the money, but there's one problem with it. some fool pulled out infront of me, and this is the end result:

Haha, my car looked like that at one time. Some bitch in a red civic pulled out in front of me and she stalled her car because she didn't know how to drive stick too well. I T-boned the bitch. Feel sorry for you man I know how you feel.

the deal is, i was going down a 2 lane country back road, and the guy was setting on the right side, with all 4 wheels off the road. he pulled his left side tires onto the road, and then made a 90 degree turn across infront of me. i ended up catching him right on the left rear wheel. i asked if he was ok, he said yea. the first ambulance got there, he still said he was ok, the next ambulance and the cop got there, and he was suddenly injured, so the police couldn't take a report because they were on their way to the hospital. we got the police report, and they said they were settin in the road making a left hand turn, and i rearended them. i don't think they realize who they've pissed off, though....hehe....my gf's dad is an ex-highway patrolman, with a hella lot of leverage in east tennessee. so, right now, i've got him, and the ex state reconstructionist working with me.

wish me luck guys!
