front nose and the sagging problem
 
I am refering to the two areas of the front nose, on either side of the emblem, that end up sagging in a bit due to the extream heat by the the nose.

I want to fix the sagging sections of my front nose and remember seeing some one post to the email list a long time ago on a good way to fix the sagging areas. Anyone remember that proccess?

Bumping an old thread here. Anyone got any suggestions for the stock 93 bumper. Im thinking heat gun and reinforcement underneath, but knowing my luck, the heat gun will make it worse

Wait what sags? By the emblem?

Basically, the fix is to get a new bumper. It's most prevalent on the dark color cars as they attract heat. Here's another old post on it:

I have seen people spray some gap-sealing expanding foam in the bumper to hold its shape. But I don't know if a method to fix warping/sagging that has already occured.

The nose is supported by a piece of (cheap) styrofoam. Not sure if you can get rid of the bumps even if you replace it with something harder like wood or aluminum.

The guy who painted my car recommended that I get a new nose/front end as trying to fix the bumps would be difficult at best.


Good luck.
