what is more likely to crack is the front bumper. The rear is easier to fix than the front and the rear doesn't have to come off for anything. That was my thinking and thats why I did it. I would never mold on the front bumper I had friends crack their front bumpers many times. Luckily theirs wasn't molded so it was easy to pull off.

I agree with sex I did the same thing as him mold the rear and sides and not the front... I also had a friend with an accord and had a full fiberglass kit molded to the front rear and sides... he got rearended and it cracked but was definately fixable it didnt do too much damage. But when somebody hit is car when it was parked in a garage (they just knicked his front bumper) it was enough to pull it slightly and cracked the whole thing and all the bondo work it was a serious pita to clean up that situation.

hey guys I finally got my car painted. It looks really good. There are some areas that could have been better though. But it's oko I will be putting on some graphics to cover up these areas. The hood is probably the area I am most unhappy with but hey the paint job was FREE! I will post pictures soon.

There are some things that need to be worked on but for a garage paint job you can't beat it. It also needs to be buffed.
