only took a week
for something to happen to my freshly painted car.
lady tried to cross the street from one shopping center to another. couldn't see me because of the cars she was squeezing between. http://tredalign.com/images/wreck/wreck.JPG http://tredalign.com/images/wreck/wreck1.JPG http://tredalign.com/images/wreck/wreck2.JPG http://tredalign.com/images/wreck/wreck3.JPG http://tredalign.com/images/wreck/wreck4.JPG http://tredalign.com/images/wreck/honda.JPG http://tredalign.com/images/wreck/honda1.JPG |
Aw crap! Ain't it the way? Couldn't have happened BEFORE you got it painted, could it? :banghead:
|
Sorry, man- that really sucks. Almost makes you hate driving anything nice.
|
Stuff happens. Crummy it was after paint, but I'll get over it. Going to see if i can get a tiger shark front out of it.

When I was looking for my tiger shark, there were a couple of companies coming out with a new product. Even the originator (forget the company name at the moment) was hinting at resuming production.
The only reason I was able to find an original was because the guy selling it really didn't know what he had, and even only had it labelled on Ebay as being just a regular front bumper fascia. He didn't have "tiger shark" anywhere in the ad copy. I only stumbled on it kind of by accident. |
Starcraft is the original producer of it. They have started production again. Can get it through doubledmods

I hope the woman's insurance company is paying for them.
|
Not all of it.
|
bumper arrive today at the shop
|
So is it going to be painted green to go with your current car, or white to go with the other one you are looking at?
Who is the manufacturer of it? Starcraft? |
Green. Made by starcraft.
|
It looks like Starcraft changed the design a little bit. The lip around the openings appears to be more pronounced than in the bumper fascia that I got. But maybe that is just from the perspective of the photos. :shrug01:

Are you repainting the entire car again?

The paint was a week old. So the front bumper and left fender will get paint. Then they are re clearing the entire car. Here is a pic of the headlights going in
|
Hopefully the new paint will match the old paint exactly.

Looking good! :thumbsup:
One of these days I need to get off my butt and get a price for color match painting and mounting my tiger shark bumper. |

Todays pictures. Wet sand buff and install screens and headlight covers is all that's left to do.

Picked up yesterday. Was raining of course.
|
Ouch! How big ARE those images? I can't see more than a small section of them on my laptop and scrolling just doesn't do them justice.
|
When i get home I'll upload my pics. I tried uploading to here but they are too large. So i linked to corvetteforum uploads.
