Need a set too please. Missed out on the set GW had. Prefer the JDM units or redesigned Curtis-made units (yes sir, twisting your arm to do a run of these). Send PM with details. TIA

Twisting Curtis arms on this /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif Let the fireworks begin. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Not to sh*t in your thread but I could use a set too. More leverage for twisting Curtis' arm. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[GSX_TC]

Garfield said how he'll have them on his site soon

 

[ctm]

dustyduff - no prob. that's precisely the type of sh*t this effort needs. pile it high & deep mah bruthuh!

GSX_TC - Right you are. However, GW also noted in a recent post that he would do so after a redesign when Curtis next makes them. So I take it you need then too, and if so, great!

 

[GSX_TC]

Yeah I'm still waiting on mine

I got a bumper cover ther other day but need to now what esle is needed to make this happen All I got was the cover and it doesn't appear to fit on the US metal support or foamy stuff.

But it sounds like I'm going to need some to Curtis...

 

[GSX_TC]

Yeah that's because the JDM bumpers don't bolt right up man, you need the JDM brackets to make them work.

 

[curtis]

One of you get me a count of a total number to build that way I can go order some aluminum.

The JDM bumper cover should have its' own aluminum skeleton attached to it. The metal support is built into the cover, what you need to do is remove the US stuff from the car completely. Using either the JDM or Curtis made brackets to bolt the bumper on. Using Curtis' brackets will allow you to use the stock holes in the rails and also move the JDM unit up enough to close the gap between the trim and bumper cover. If you use the JDM brackets, you will have to drill the holes, which is easy considering the provisions are already there you just have to drill the hole. There will also be a gap between the bumper and the trim garnish beneath the headlights, small but noticable.

So your saying that if u go with the Curtis ones there won't be a gap and if u go with the JDM ones there will be a gap?

Not seeing any metal of any sort on this thing. Errr...Is it something that can be bought and replaced??

 

[ctm]

Curtis - Thanks for chiming in. Will help to keep track of those who need these. Hope all is well, arm and all ;-)

Now I'm going to go put ice on my shoulder. My arm hurts from all this twisting. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif

Guys I stay busy its a constant flow of locals wanting something, local shops that use me as there go to guy and other stuff I have to get done. Stuff I restore and sell on ebay, stuff for guys on here in PM's that many never see or hear about, and the normal honey do and the Daddy will you go for a bike ride or lets go swimming. My shop is in the basement so its all summer with the neighborhood kids in and out but school started last Friday so I do see some light in the tunnel especially since my daughter is on the gymnastics team and I have a few more hours 3 days a week.

I'm starting to get a handle on projects and I still have stuff for guys here that have waited forever, one lost some of the seat brackets pieces and needs those and another wants headlights built along with the last of Paul's crate projects. CTM contacted me months ago on these and it takes as long to set up the mill and everything else for one as it does for ten.


So enough of the life history. I'll go sometime this week and get some stuff on order, they may have it not sure hoping they do. If you want a set put your name on the list so I can have an idea of how many to cut.


Thanks

Actually I cleaned it off a few weeks ago spread out the big piece of foam and put everything back on it.

 

[spooling92vr4]

Just a heads up someone has a set on eBay for 45 buckaroos shipped

 

[GSX_TC]

I was gonna post that but I figured I wouldn't out of respect for Curtis's brackets

 

[spooling92vr4]

No disrespect to Curtis but the op posted a wtb and these are available now.. I'm waiting for Curtis' brackets myself

 

[curtis]
