I realize that there were only like two originals and a thieving asshole made copies of it. I'm looking to track down one of these copies and my question is... does anyone know the whereabouts of one of these things? Whether someone has one and would be willing to sell it or whatever....
oh please dont say your swapping the fire front end on your cavy
Well im considering it. Over the past five years of owning that bumper its been damaged six times, and most recently last weekend a stupid hummer backed into it. First it was bad roads and a ditch, then it was a deer, then of all things a god damn rabbit, then more bad roads and a fence, then an even bigger deer, now a damn hummer.
I have a feeling its cursed and im sick of all the reglassing and fixing and painting it. So as of late Ive been trying to find a somewhat stock cavalier front end I like.
Technic Cavalier lip BTW
I used to race cars, now I race myself.

The one in the pic is one of the copied versions. Brad or zyaaaa has the only known to exist gm lip, although speculations are that there is one more floating around, but there is no proof. At best brad might let it be copied by a reputable shop.
See if Darren will let you copy it...

I'm pretty sure he was open to having it copied but no one came up with the money needed. Paul Tpjeske (not sure how you spell his last name) had made one from scratch that was closer to the original then White Boys knockoff. Last I heard of it, it was sitting collecting dust, needing to be finished. He quit working on it once Brad got the original and started making a copy off that.

What you know about Street Racing anyways? Only what Fast & Furious taught us....

simple minds talk about other people.
average minds talk about events.

I choose the technology built for land speed records... not the technology built to save on emissions and gas mileage.

if you cant find the right bumper and are worried about ruining it, id recommend having someone make one of these for you...though you may have to reinforce the bumper support...

I WANT A TECHNIC LIP. ive been looking for one of the @!#$ty knockoffs for a while now. i love the 95-99 Z bumper and this just sets it off that much more. if someone made a copy i'd buy it in a heartbeat.
If copies are reasonable im in
Everyone is in until money has to be separated from the bank accounts. Maybe "at all costs" was used loosely. I know there are plenty of parts I want but tossing out $1k for them is hard to do, even when I'd have the funds available.
yeah 1k is rough, but then again when you show interest it sparks others and where 1k is rough 100 for ten peeps is more managable.Plus it would be nice to put this lip back into production so people running z bumpers could have more choices.
