you're probably right about not using the flex agent. i think i'll just get a new cover and not take the chance again

Alright he went up a little in price but thats about like anything else lol.

He said to Fix your current bumper cover he uses a flexable/sandable epoxy and to do that and paint it it would be 450 bucks thats all of the materials included.

Then he said if you were to buy a new bumber cover and bring it to him to scuff it for paint and to paint it (him buying the materials) would be $250.

He'll just need your VIN# so he can get the exact paint.

Just thought id let you know!

A remanufactured GM cover will run you $350, a new GM cover is around $460. Trying to fix your broken cover, where your damage is might not be a great idea though.

The VIN is not going to decode your paint color exactly. GM red is a biatch & there are going to be different variances, so the paint should be mixed with the car there so test cards can be shot & looked at next to the car in different light.

$250 to paint & install a bumper would be a good deal, book time for just paint/clear coat is 3.5 hours, the book time to R&I the cover is another 2.5 hours.

Not arguing lol just adding to what you said to clear it up!
I agree with the crack on the bumper cover but its worth taking a look at just to make sure he would want to get a new one.

It would be matched to his current bumpers paint, but to narrow down the choices for alternative his VIN will bring it down to a few choices.

Also if it still doesnt match (which it should) it could also be scanned by a color gun to determine a match. But lately the Vindicator systems from ppg and dupont seem to working the best.

For sure, never hurts to try.

I had a red Z28 done recently, let's just say that the Vindicator didn't hit the color perfect...His car is in much better shape though & has seen way less harsh weather, so the color may not be as bad to hit right on. No matter what method it is, a decent painter should be able to get it right.

Anyone know where to get a plug in connector that goes to the maf on a stock ls1 maf? Mine rubbed the pulley a little and kind of messed it up. I'd like to find a new connector and wire it up to my factory wiring so it will plug in with my current maf.

Thanks for all the replies guys. I guess my best bet will be to take it to a shop and get an estimate just to see what I'm looking at. I don't think I will be able to afford to get it fixed anytime soon. I need to get my cam installed and get a tune which will eat up a decent chunk of change. I will keep your buddy in mind 355Z28 (sorry don't know your name). It really isn't bad enough to bother me too much. I think I can live with it for a bit. Hopefully by June or July I will be able to get it fixed. I have a few rock chips here and there that I need touched up too. Damn cars, they can never be perfect. Oh well, that's what I get for driving it all the time which is the reason I bought it anyway.

Oreillys should be able to get one for you, if they look it up on their "teamnet" on borg warners site it should give them the pigtail part number and they should have it the next day.

Just thought I would throw this out there, if anybody is looking to buy some drag radials I have a brand new pair of Nitto 275/40/17 Drag radials I would like to sell. I do not want to ship these, I will take $300. They have never been mounted.

Hey Andy, I think I saw you on Merle Hay today, I was in my beater truck, you where heading south kinda by the McDonalds, I was on my way back from the auto parts store. I just picked up new plugs for the TA, and finally got it running with the mail order tune. YEY!!!

RedRocketZ28

iTrader: (19)

Yeah man that was me. Finally got moved into the apartment off of Merle Hay behind Dahl's. Next time try to get my attention, haha.

I am going to be sending my PCM out to Speed next week. Rodney and I are installing my cam this weekend and I want to be able to drive it somewhat normal after the swap. Think it will run ok with the mail order tune for the time being? I need to then find a time to get it out there for a full dyno tune.

I just got my Mail order tune back from FLP, and it runs ok, its pig rich at idle, and it kinda wants to stumble every now and then, but its a base tune. Playing with a prehistoric copy of auto tap and ls1 edit circa feb 03
