    Painting Plastic Bumpers

    Hey guys I have an early model, but just converted to plastic bumpers. Anyone know a spray paint that is close to stock zinnaberrot? Any input would be greatly appreciated!

      okay thanks. Well I ran into a little hiccup. Tried test fitting the plastic bumper, and there is a little tab on the side, near the fender that sticks out and kinda prevents the bumper from getting close to the valence/fender. Cut it off?

        The tab that once helped hold your old bumper trim in place? Yes, you can just cut that off.

            thanks. So the only mounting parts of the new plastic bumper are the bumper shocks? So 4 bolts?

              No; there are also the plastic brackets they slide into that mount just above the wheel well. You should have scored these off the donor car, or you'll need to order a set.
