I grabbed the new snout for the FC today, say by-by to all the emblems and markers now, just clean body lines. The new hood is ready to squirt, and the decklid is ready for primer/sealer w/o that piece of **** wing, hopefully it will go back together quickly-Sevenstock is just around the corner!

I'll post some progress pics asap

nice, I forget S5 bumpers have raised MAZDA logos on it right?

Yes, I tried, unsucsessfully, to remove the raised mazda emblem from a spare snout. Evidently the injection process into the mold only flushes the surface of the emblem, just under the surface it becomes very pourous. All in the past now, I just have to finess the replica piece some, and send it to the booth.

UMM... nevermind. I should have done alittle more homework and got the scoop about replica parts, P.O.S. for sure.



I should have took Rob's advice and got the front lip in the first place! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif

how bad did this bumper end up being? I've heard that they can be really bad, but most people just fit them anyway.

Who made it?



I like Border noses, when I got the bucks I'm getting one, unless I can convince one of the dumb broads that live in my building to run into the front of my car! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

The snout was about 3/4" too wide and the molding that wrapped around the lower fender to the fender well was not cut straight at all. I think they took it out of the mold while it was wet which may have allowed it to flex some.

where did you pick that front bumper up?



i mean, if it was done nice, i think it looks gorgeous



how much did it run you?
