I thought these aftermarket bumpers were meant for FMICs? goddamn stalk bumper supports them better than this crap.

Also I Believe I had 2 cracks goin all the way vertical around the corner lights. Looked cracked, body shop repaired it, Cianci said it was a line in the gel coat and not actually cracked. not sure if it was cracked or not.

I'm looking to do the same thing, installing Oohnoo's dualcore FMIC and DN Piping with a Cianci (New) Torino Front Bumper, hope I don't have to get into to much modification.

so how is it looking?

spoiler, bumpers, sideskirts, door handles, door caps, interior panels are all taken off..

The guy spent all day pretty much messing around with my Cianci bumper. he's had to keep cutting away sections of it so that it will line up the body lines correctly with the fender and hood etc.

he had it test-fit sitting on the car when I went by today. The hood/headlights were matching up OK, but still needed to have another 3 or 4 mm shaved off the back of the bumper to line it up right with the fenders.

also I have to get part of the headlight bucket cut out on each side because they interfere with the corner lights going into place.

I dont think i'm ever buying any non-OEM body parts ever again!!!


But yeah by tomorrow I think he'll be done with that and the body work, and is going to have most of it all sanded... for sure primed by Saturday. I'm still waiting on my brackets to come via Mail though from Seattle that are needed to secure the bumpers.

Anyone know of any good clear vinyl paint protection that I could put down directly behind my wheels to protect from paint chips? an alternative to mud flaps.
