hi. Notice on my car in my sig, the large gap between my hood and my front bumper. Thats because I had to scretch the front bumper over the headlights because they are 95-96 headlights which means they are to big for the 97-99 bumper. Ok so, theres a gap. Now if I purchase projectors or even stock 97-99 headlights, which will fit in the headlight spots, will the urethane bumper go back to normal? Or will it be all bent out of position because its been stretched like this for maybe a year or almost a year? Maybe someone who scretched a 97-99 over their 95-96 headlights has had this experiance

what the freak are you talking about, you have 97-99 headlights in the pic. btw, what else did you convert over to a 97-99.

I was wondering the same. You have 97-99's.

Oh... right...... No, theyre actually 95-96 headlights, I just painted the housing inside black. Sorta ricey if anyone notices, but as you can see its not really noticeable. But yeah theyre 95-96 with some 99 cent spray paint. So, anyone got an answer?

Also, I only did the front bumper, side skirts and...... turbo spoiler. Otherwise its a 95 esi.

agreed. those rims are 97-99. Also, the 95-96 headlights are noticeably different even when painted. Quit talking out ur ass man. It's no wonder people flame you so readily. Look at the content of 100% of the shit u say. It never makes sense. You contradict yourself. WTF? you painted the headlights, so they changed shape too? I know 95-96's would be overlapped and kinda look like 97-99's, but there are differences I am not seeing.

plus he said he got it painted a maaco or some bullshit, thats not a maaco paint job, maaco is a production paint company, alot of the time the painters are apprentices. maaco didnt paint that car and if they did u either got a hook up or payed more than 500. im still waiting on jason to get back to me, but i know that isnt your car, you would know a little more about it if it was....btw was i spelling maacco right?lol

Im flattered that you think I did such a great job with the headlights that you can't tell. Those are 95-96 headlights. I took them apart and painted inside black. Im not sure if you can tell in the picture but you cant see the inside edge of them, becasue theyre under the bumper......

Yes its maaco. No nothings photocropped or chopped or shopped. And yes I do have 97 rims. I can't believe you don't think I own this car. Tell me to do anything, like sit on the hood naked or lick the muffler, ANYTHING, Ill do it and post a picture. Thats really my car. And yes its Maaco. I can prove it by taking pictures of every edge where its flaking. Which is EVERY edge. Oh you guys.... Ill take more pics today. And tell me of a specific pic you want to see and Ill take it.

Also, for the guy who said "go buy 97-99 headlights", thats why I was asking this question. Because if I buy them they will fit good, but will the urethane still be bent out of position? Because really Id only buy them so the urethane can sit normal and will go all the way up to the hood. Its not a big thing, but its enough to bother me everytime I see my car from the front.

By the way, to make them stretch, it was hard. Which was why I ended up only using like 3 out of the 5 screw holes that are between the headlights. The outer ones, closest to the headlights, couldnt stretch that far obviously.

I got banned for being a constant tard.

To me they look like 95-96 lights.

The 97-99 have a bulge around the side orange light. His don't seem to have the bulge.



BTW what mirrors are those?

-J

Here are pics. My car is ugly, thats why I used that one pic because it made the car look pretty good. But.... you insisted. Heres my car.





Mods are-

97 Skirts, self painted, mounted with JB Weld.
Painted 95 headlights to look like 97
97 Front bumper
Eclipse spoiler
Remove Talon spoiler, cover up holes myself
PEP BOYS Mirrors. Awe yes, $20 plus $2 spray paint. 10 minute drilling and mounting.
Self done tint, two layers of 15% tint so its like 8%.
97 rims

Engine Mods-
Uhm.... Accel wires? Thats it.

So yeah, its my car. And I think Ill go ahead and get a set of 97 healdights, used. even if the bumper doesnt bend back and match up with the hood, well, the headlights still look better.

I got banned for being a constant tard.

How bout you guys quit being ASSHOLES and give the guy a break?? Especially you 9d9, I can bring up some old topics of when people accused you of being full of shizit. Just be friggin NICE for a change, would it hurt ya that much? (yeah mods, go ahead and lock it because I am sure this will get out of hand)

To answer your question Mrlocalpimp... unless the urethane is creased I think it should go back to original form. If it was one of those cheap aftermarket urethane bumpers I would have my doubts but the stock stuff is pretty thick and durable.

yes its stock. I would think it would go back, but I stretched it pretty hard. Oh well. We'll see when I get new lights. Projectors arent much more expensive, in fact couldnt they be cheaper... Maybe Ill go with those, that way I get something out of it, in case the urethane doesnt go back so it wont seem like a waste of money.

I got banned for being a constant tard.

i dont think he would put a talon rear end on an eclipse, but then people have done wierder things, and to anwser your question mr pimp no urethane wont strech. when you put a 97 bumper over 95 lights (like i did) its hard to tell the difference

Well I did, thats my question. I put a 97 bump on 95 heads and theres a gap between the bump and hood, but whatever, its solved, Ill go with projectors.

Also, an eclipse guy would put a talon rear end on for a reason like getting rear ended. Maybe the bumper and lights got totaled and..... insurance wouldnt cover it for some odd reason. And you found a cheap set of talon bump and lights. Im sure its happened many of times.... Maybe

I got banned for being a constant tard.

yeah thats what i said, your not hurting anything, your car just looks funny with a gap, case in point, http://www.mustangmods.com/publish/bigben/pics/blitzblue.jp g

wtf? call me out and I'm not the main one. Everyone is tired of BS posts and BS. I'm just saying that. You can get off my ass with whatever BS I brought up or anything. That was then, this is now. So, why bring it up? No reason. STFU.
I'm sick of whenever a group of people says shit to 1 guy and I am in the group of people for whatever reason, I am the only one who gets called out. Fuck that. If you can't talk about everyone, don't call me out. Get the fuck off my case.

Well for the sake of moderating I am not going to continue the drama already created in this thread. All I will say is you are the biggest hypocrite on the board. You cry and whine when someone "singles you out" or "picks on you". Yet you are usually the first person to call BS on someone, and the first to make fun of someone. Practice what you preach. If you have anything further feel free to email me at jason2gnt@aol.com Thanks!!

why are u calling him out, you aint got nothing to do with his actions, who are you supposed to be , critic of the year, get out of here with all that bullshit you spitting, and btw, mrloacalpimp, sorry for hijacking ya thread,lol

I'm hardly ever the 1st. And I do get singled out. I don't whine about it. People like you bring it up when shit's like 3 months old. In this case, I'd probably be #157 to say anything bad to this guy. And there's no drama. I'm just not gonna have people saying things without me stating my case. I don't start drama. If you actually knew me, you'd realize it. I am just one of the many members that never gets any respect. Newbies can do what they want, but God forbid that a handful of us here say a damn thing, or we get flamed. THAT'S what I'm saying, so back off with your drama claims. Maybe you should go to school for drama so you can find out what it really means?

i had my bumper on my closet for several months in a really weird position w/out knowing and now is as it was new and also is the 97-99 look but one of those aftermarket oem replacement so in short you're good to go
you probably can get projectors cheaper than used stock that's what i'm doing on my new 95 gs-t
good luck
ps if it's your car i like it

I don't want to judge if its your car or not but I will say if it is you have done a damn good job, most people would rather pay a body shop to do something thats not worth paying them for... At least you tried right? Anyway Urethane is the shit of shit man you can fold it up to fit in your dresser drawers and 2 years later pop it out and BOING you got your bumpers and skirts back. So you will have no problem diong that as for the headlights a stock OEM headlight from manufacturure is $5 more than a set (yes set that means 2) of the projector style so you will save big and look good.

my front end was folded in half at the body shop from sitting on a pile of metal shards and peices for a week. I almost had a heart attack when I saw my bumper at a 45 degree angle.

*shrugs* it's fine now.
