Shaved front bumper?
 
Was our car ever made with a stock shaved front bumper? The old lady down the street came home with an Alero one day, the light/ocean blue color, but i noticed its emblem was missing. Well my dog ran away last night down to the neighbors across from them, so at 1 a.m. i got a closer look and saw that the bumper looked as if it were manufactured that way, it was completely smooth, looking. I'd get a picture, but it would be hard to do that without looking like a creeper. But i don't know much about the final 500's or anything, but did they ever manufacture our car this way?

probably a cheapo aftermarket bumper, easier to make a mold without the indentation for a symbol....

i shaved my front bumper last month

ive seen one or two in my area with the emblem and indent missing. the paint on the bumper was also a shade or so off, and it wasnt fitted right, so im assuming it was aftermarket junk. i on the other hand filled mine in and repainted it, and it looks like nothing was even there.

Yeah, I plan on pulling off that Oldsmobile emblem and sticking it on the AAS kit when I get done painting it.

Lol, I'm expecting the same thing around here.

worknprog.99 07-05-2009 01:14 PM

alot of people did a walk around and kinda waited for me to say something lol...
eventually i got a peice of paper and wrote down the year make and model and stuck it on the windshield like the other cars lol....

the funniest one was when the two guys walking around together thought they new everything and were arguing amoungst themselves as to what year mustang i had.. they agreed on 1998 lol

Excuse my French, but FU** mustangs...I see so many around here in West County and I don't like them at all. I hope to get to the point someday where I absolutely obliterate them.

I don't hate mustangs. I just hate that the mustang doesn't represent what it is supposed to represent well. Mustangs are given the image of a muscle car, while in reality, if you compare it to a real muscle car, mustangs suck.

A lot of dumb mustang drivers that don't know anything about cars, just take this image and think that owning a mustang will make them be up there with all the real muscle cars.

Also, to the OP, sorry for getting so off topic. This will be my last off topic post here.

i dunno... there were some mustangs i'd consider muscle cars... just like the old GTOs and stuff were meant to be family man cars.

fiberglass

whiterider00 07-06-2009 09:12 PM

i dunno...the couple ive seen are driven by middle aged and older women. i dont think they would have had it shaved off for any reason.

worknprog.99 07-06-2009 09:43 PM

^^^second or third owner maybe person before did?

bdyman 07-07-2009 12:06 AM

hi there

whiterider00 07-07-2009 08:39 PM

weird. it could have been done by someone else who owned the car, i guess ill never know. whoever did it tho did a hell of a job it looked perfect. and it was on that goldish color, with the sun reflecting off it, and i saw no lines or anything that wuold have hinted there used to be a indent there.

PappaSmurf 07-07-2009 08:43 PM

bdyman also has no doors, his car is primered and he has 2 20LBS NOS tanks in the back.
To bad I can still sell his car for 10,000 dollars more than he wants. LOL
