abc exclusive cobra bumper

[Gregor185]

i got an abcexclusive front bumper installed on my car and i noticed that in the bottom opening it looks warped...has anyone else experienced this?? is there anything i can do to fix it or is this happening because its still new?

I have that one, my very bottom part is warped.

I don't have any pics of it, though. Like the very bottom part on that lip part is on mine. Never be seen, I figured. I hope I have explained the part that is warped on mine right. Talked to my body guys, nothing can be done to correct this. That's all I needed to hear, so I stopped asking ?'s.

 

[Gregor185]

yeah mine is warped in the lower opening. hopefully it straightens out

 

[eliyarbrough]

The opening like in between the fogs, right? I think mine is straight right there, actually. I'm thinking it is that spot.

Hm.. I have no experience with these bumpers but you can try what i usually do when a Saleen bumper warps in the middle section.

Get a mesh and go behind the bumper, have someone hold the center section in the position you want it and screw the mesh onto the bumper (from behind the bumper onto an area where there is extra material from the top of the opening to the bottom of the opening) and leave it on there for a few days while parking the car under the sun.

If the bumper is urethane, this method should work

yeah mine is warped in the lower opening. hopefully it straightens out

i want that bumper..i have the cobra without the lip

 

[stunner]

mine also has a warp just like u say and i would fix it cuz i broke my lip and had to redone it once.well here where im from the roads are very bad and my stang is low from the front

 

[dafizuck]

Did dalamar install a brace??

 

[Gregor185]

i thought about getting those stainless steel grille kits but i dont know

 

[eliyarbrough]

Huh, saw mine today & seen what you are talking about, maybe. Like the part between the fogs, mine is not apart. You'd think it would be as wide as the span looks like. You can't even put your hand in there! Josh like reached in & made it right, but put a lot of force to bend it like that! He told me to pull out my hand, is would have pinched them really bad if I hadn't! Is this what you are talking about? Hope I typed it so it made some sense. I can see how that brace would really help!!

 

[Gregor185]

who has this brace??????? if anyones interested i have the lip from when abc made it seperately...

 

[eliyarbrough]

Where did you find that @? Been a while since they last sold that piece, I think. I'd start a classifieds post for that. I think someone will hop right on that!!

 

[Matt94GT]

im not noticing the warp on that pic posted...can someone post a pic and show what you mean?

 

[eliyarbrough]

Next time I'm @ my car, I'll try to take a pic.

 

[Gregor185]

yeah ill post a pic later this week...i bought it used from some guy at a car show.

 

[Silver96GT]

Other than the warping are you happy with the fit of the cover? That is the same one I want and it looks great in your pics.

 

[eliyarbrough]

I am simply ecstatic with how it looks! The car has not really been in my possession yet, though. I think it still looks fine, just I know of the tight opening. I'll post pics after I pick it up. To me, that would not cause me to not buy another one!! I think you'll only see it if you are looking for it.
