Looking good! I'm VERY jealous of that BIG ASS garage!

I chose a shop that used a certain paint brand that I’ve had great experiences with. Having 3 cars painted and a fourth shortly coming , BASF is how I now search for paint shops.
I dropped the bumper off Monday afternoon and received it today. It was ready by yesterday but I had them cut some of the orange peel. I also was impressed that they Generously wrapped the bumper for me. Here are some pictures under fluorescent lighting And outside. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...7732ba1d8.jpeg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...5d9b0dc34.jpeg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...51f0d7e72.jpeg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...e98d330f3.jpeg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...5a5fd0434.jpeg |
Looking good :)

Holy hell that's sexy.
|
You could hang that up on the wall in your living room :)
|
Damn that thing came out sweet
|
polished up my old combo lights from the montego blue and one single light I purchased used.
I used Wolfgang lens correction cream from AutoGeek. Worked fantastically. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...3dc2d4eff.jpeg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...90d5dda5d.jpeg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...aea839551.jpeg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...48a95f475.jpeg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...fcea7e419.jpeg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...8c8319621.jpeg |
Bought brand new brackets and rivets. My arrow single hand manual rivet gun wasn’t strong enough for oem rivets. So I was fed up and bought a air rivet gun and it was exhilarating to say the least. One click and done. Ugh it was super satisfying.

Nice!
|
Thanks for showing the methods and progress. Way to go the extra mile on the rivets and bumper skin frame.

I was going to purchase Rotary Performances differential cradle brace but they are NLA. Is there another company making a differential cradle brace that will work with a rear diffuser?
|
Check out Banzai's diff brace, it is pretty small. Not really a cradle
|
@tomsn16 makes a fully diff cradle/brace. Crace. Bradle.

Diff Brace
What diff bushes do you have? IMO poly diff bushes are enough
|
Mazdacompetition bushings. What I failed to mention is IRP is aiming my new 8374 turbo kit and rebuild for over 500+hp. I was kinda waiting for them to start the process before so that I can involve the thread a little bit.
|
That LRB tray looks really nice. I modified my stock one by cutting a large square out and putting a mesh grate. But I think this, powder coated in black, would be a much more elegant solution. Perhaps when I get a 99 front I’ll adjust for this.
That bumper looks great. Did you use Ray to get the info for the brackets and rivets? Matt |

Sorry man :dunno: I had trouble fitting the regular LRB undertray on a '99 bumper. It made no sense because the USDM tray fits a 99 bumper. I dunno, maybe it was just me And is the chair for sitting and admiring your bumper? :cool: https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...e7abe0fdf9.jpg Lol, is it that obvious? I had the wife and dog in the garage with me directing me where to put things. She’s much more of an organizer then I am. She actually, a few days ago, told me in a couples spat that my organizational skills is and limited to; moving one object into a different place. I just move things around. |
