Give it teeth?
Tuesday, December 16, 2008 8:16 PM
Anyone know how to make it look like a sunfire has fangs? This is what I wanted to do before I thought of the chrome bumper, but so far I can't find anyway to do it, or anyone else who can. I thought it would look good with the evil eye look.

It would have to be a fabrication of some sort. Without it looking stupid, in my opinion, come up with a new bumper style and fiberglass it. Now might be a good time to learn how to fiberglass and create molds etc. Something like what you are proposing is going to have to be a custom job and not a bolt on, unless that is if you want it to look stupid.

Just my thought though. It could be done, get a photo of you front end, grab some trace paper and sketch over it and see what you come up with. Chances are if you haven't seen it done it probably hasn't been which always means a custom job.

X2 with this one.

It would look HORRIBLE if you just used a stock sunfire bumper. If you want this done please have a professional do it. You will save yourself a big head ache unless you do a lot of research along with trial and error.

Another option might be to find a couple body kits for your sunfire and then photoshop "teeth" in to see how it would look with that bumper. Then when/if you find a good one you like order the bumper in fiberglass form. Take it to someone that can do custom fiberglass work and have them fiberglass the teeth/fangs in.
This would cut the costs down of having to pay for a complete one off bumper for your sunfire.

i believe he meant fiberglass it to the bumper which would be quite a pain and more than likely would fall off over time

Not a joke, and my car is just fine. I'm buying ALL the parts then installing and painting them then. The cardboard cut outs aren't 100% how i want the teeth to look, but it is the only representation I could do at the moment. If I had clay, I would've molded one out of it.
