Do you think we could test fit it on the old one? Or do you think we'd have to cut up the good one just to test it? Hm...

I think we might be able to get away with it on the old bumper but I'd rather do it on the new, just in case it ends up not fitting

I just don't know how we can do the channels... I guess we'll figure it out later. (Not today)

So pretty much, the previous repair of the spoiler fell through and since the spoiler was no longer steadily held in place, it tore itself off again, reverting back to how it once was, only with a coat of black paint



Pete and I fiberglassed it today. This is the second attempt, using the logical school of thought. The box tells you to do horrible stupid things that just don't plain work at all. Stupid #$%^ing box..

Anyhow, end result



Its not pretty yet, but I'll fix that tomorrow. I've also sent yet another email to the guy who i bought the carb scoop from (fatroddder, if anyone is interested). I told him I would report him to ebay if I didn't get the carb scoop soon.

I've done enough to prove my avatar right. In fact just a few nights ago, I re-enacted it!

Naturally, I won

And of course he doesn't mention the fact that he puked, but that isn't really proving the point, is it?

and then with paint



Yes, thats a whole lotta dust, I know.

First round of sidestripe work





The red paint is way less easy to work with, it has the crappy retarded nozzle on it and it smells like the worst kind of **** imaginable. Blehhh

Meh. Yellow has never been my favorite. Thankfully I'm fairly sure it's just tape.

my reply must not have posted... odd..

It is tape, and its green not yellow lol

I also noticed that it doesn't look too bad, but its not for this car. Its something that would make more sense when breaking up a two-tone
