Lookin' good.
So you had them cut off and then will clamp (or weld) them back on?

They are MPE tips which come cut off and needs to be clamped when installing.

4 coats of VHT black gloss Engine Enamel Paint and 3 coats of VHT clear gloss paint and I let it dry overnight.

If the stock M-Sport tips were clamped on, I'd do this in a heartbeat. I'd even paint them Carbon Black since I have lots left.

Once again you nailed it!
If you get a chance can you take a shot from, say 10 feet back or so, directly behind the rear. Want to get the full effect with gloss black badge, CF rear diffuser and tips. Well done. |

Not saying it can't be done properly this way with lots of patience. I'm just saying I'd probably screw it up or at least notice imperfections, which would drive me crazy.

The amount of time masking it and taking off the rear bumper is about the same.

The various hitch installation videos show the steps required for bumper removal. etrailer.com had a pretty good one IIRC. Fender flares need to be partially removed along with the tail lights.
Too much work just to paint the tips for me...

Kzang, just got my CF splitter and diffuser, see where both bolt on the bottom of front and rear bumper but very little surface area for the tops and sides to adhere to the bumper. Just a very thin ridge that the Betalink or equivalent would be applied.
My question is, does that actually hold and how do you deal with over epoxy since the only part touching or in contact with the bumpers on the top or sides is thin as a penny. I would think you would have epoxy everywhere? Thanks in advance |
