Micah,

After a short delay...you did deliver and I thank you for the great quality clip. Other than Greyhound losing it for 3 days...I received A-OK and is in the shop waiting to be painted! Thank man....I will be posting pics soon!

Dave in Ohio!
Posted By: Micah_dup1 Re: pre 98 front bumper clips - 08/19/02 03:22 PM
well after inspection they look like they are going to be fine. I am going to suggest some things for everyone when they get there bumper.


1) inspect bumper before leaving Greyhound if it looks damaged, file a report. Greyhound will not cover the package if you have taken it home then realized something was wrong.

2) do some work to it, you guys are test subjects in a way. I feel like they are strong enough to hold up to daily driving and bumps, but I wont bet the farm on it. inspect the bumper and add strength to places where you think there should be more. there is no such thing as to strong.


3) Undercoat! the back of the bumper should be undercoated to make sure there is no carbon showing without resin. carbon is just like steel it is curosive and will fall apart if shown to water for a while.



I think that is pretty much it I will come up with more things later



Micah

DId they ship today as planned Micah?
Posted By: SVTtheory Re: pre 98 front bumper clips - 08/19/02 09:50 PM
well i got my bumper micah and it is at the body shop being worked on.........my bumper had two cracks in it....we found after a few coats of primer went on initially......they were on the very top of the bumper, and were very symmetrical......i am figuring a manufacturing thing, no biggie though, bumper should be installed as early as wed, as late as fri........will try to get pics up........

any suggestions as to "reinforcing" the bumper?
Posted By: csc99svt Re: pre 98 front bumper clips - 08/20/02 02:50 AM
that is me up above....i realize now, that whatever name you signed up with long ago is the name that is now displayed so i just registered again...

but thanks again Micah for everything and i will try to get pics up soon!
Posted By: Micah_dup1 Re: pre 98 front bumper clips - 08/20/02 01:08 PM
alright, 2 bumpers shipped yesterday. due to the fact I dont have a truck, I had to make a trip for each bumper. I will be shipping today too and will let you know who it is for.


Reinforcement would be adding some fiberglass, well you can get fiberglass material at a car parts store then get some boat resin or something to that degree, add the material and resin in places you think is needed. I think the side of the bumper where it wraps around would be a good place for strength also place where the bolts go maybe. the place where you put it is up to you. But if you dont reinforce make sure to undercoat the back of the bumper.

N. E. Word on the bumpers? Anyone know anything new? Micah?
Posted By: Micah_dup1 Re: pre 98 front bumper clips - 08/27/02 05:15 AM
sorry guys,


that accident real came at the worst time, getting everything taking care of now. 1-2 more will be shipping tommorrow, I will call you and post here to let you know who you are.

Micah, since you worked on these bumpers to make them fit a pre 98 contour you might be able to help me out. How much work would it take to make one of these bumpers fit a pre 98 mystique, or else how much money do you think it would cost to have a shop make the bumper fit?
Posted By: slick 95 gl_dup1 Re: pre 98 front bumper clips - 08/28/02 02:42 AM
Micah, what about the bumper someone said they were having trouble with? They couldn't get it painted or something? What do we all need to do? I know we have to reinforce. Thanks
Posted By: Micah_dup1 Re: pre 98 front bumper clips - 08/28/02 03:39 AM
I just found out about it today, I gave him my cell and waiting for call from him. I dont understand why a place would not paint it. if they turn down a bumper to paint, I wonder how many cars they turn down cause they are damaged. I can understand if you went to a dealer to have it painted but Not a repair shop. I will let everyone know whats going on with that bumper Once he gives me a call. I dont think you have anything to worry about. atleast 3 people have had theres painted and I have brought once of the bumpers to 4 places to check painting cost, they all would do it. there is prep work to get the bumper ready to be painted but there is no reason why they cant do that and paint it.


I shipped out a bumper today, maybe shipping out 2 tommorrow. will let you know if I shipped your bumper.

Does 'in shipping' mean that it is on its way? Or in the process of being shipped, as in not shipped yet.. Just wondering.. Also, Micah, I sent you an e-mail a while ago asking you to ship the bumper to East Lansing. Just wondering if you ever got that mail, I never recieved a reply.. Hope to hear from you.
Posted By: csc99svt Re: pre 98 front bumper clips - 08/29/02 02:09 AM
well i got my bumper installed today......i guess this makes me #005....?? i am thinking of putting that on the front bumper, the way that saleen mustangs are numbered.......anywho.....i will work on getting some pics once i get back from the mustang grand nationals......peace.
Posted By: Micah_dup1 Re: pre 98 front bumper clips - 08/29/02 01:28 PM
alright, if it says in shipping, means you paid shipping and are next to get shipped. anyone who hasnt paid shipping could send the money at any time. along with an address of where you live and greyhound you want to pick it up at.


I went to check out the bumpers, they are doing research on new ways and will be creating the rest of them soon. they gave me a time of 1-2 weeks on reciveing the rest of them. everyones bumper will ship out once I recieve that order.



Thank you everyone for your understanding!!!!


people in the group buy that have recieved the bumper please post here. I need to get a head count.

Posted By: KnuKonceptz_dup1 Re: pre 98 front bumper clips - 08/30/02 03:22 AM
Got mine today, had a slight crap on the top inside corner, not a problem though, can easily be fixed. Other than that it looks real good and real light.
Posted By: Bicycle019_dup1 Re: pre 98 front bumper clips - 09/04/02 05:20 AM
Picked mine up today. Looks good - no shipping damage save one small crack - easily fixed by my buddy who works in carbon fiber.

It had been sitting for a week at the station...no one called and I was moving so I just spaced it till tonight. Plans are to do more finish work to the inside, prep it, and bring it and the SVT side skirts I have to the paintshop.

well They want to make a schedule, Like 10 a month or something like that, I was iffy on that. I told them make me ten this month and I will let you know abou the next month. so now they are telling me sense I didnt make a monthly schedule they have to make sure everyone else is out before they get me!!!!

Hey guys, belive it or not. it is sorta going as plan. the only set back is greyhound wont ship the bumpers till I find another way of wraping. I am going to by some foam wrap and try that out. atleast 2 if not more will be going out monday. I am picking them up fri doing triming and then will post who is getting shipped. the others will follow soon there after. if you havent gotten your shipping money in. send now so I can get the bumper out asap. I will keep you posted if something comes up. but so far it has been good.



Micah

So the bumpers arent made though? Are they for sure going to be done friday? just wonderin. Thanks for all the work so far!
Posted By: Micah_dup1 Re: pre 98 front bumper clips - 10/25/02 01:26 PM
Hey,


2 bumpers are made today and ready for pick up. I will be picking them up today, then I have to trim them out and mark drill holes. I wont be able to make greyhound in time to ship today, trim and marking takes about 2hrs each bumper. so I will wrap them over the weekend and ship them out on Monday. They told me they will have 2-3 more next week. so Gb should be done next week this is if the other 2-3 come like they plan. Hope this helps guys.

Hey MIdnightSE, our cars are the same color!! We aslso both have the SVT rear and side skirts, both waiting for fronts and both damn sure need paint. What color are you going to paint yours?
Posted By: Contour39191 Re: pre 98 front bumper clips - 10/29/02 02:25 PM
I hope they went out. Micah is pretty dependable.
Posted By: Micah_dup1 Re: pre 98 front bumper clips - 10/29/02 02:31 PM
Hey guys,


Greyhound denied my packing. Again. I just bought some shrink wrap, along with card board on sharp edges and corners, they said they would "aprove" that. will ship out today, call you or e-mail you tonight if they shipped. Sorry for the news.

Hey,
Actually I'm going with the Same base color of the car, midnight red. The entire car is being painted. However, I will be doing something special to the paint. I will post pictures and describe what was done, after the car is painted.
Posted By: Contour39191 Re: pre 98 front bumper clips - 10/29/02 04:53 PM
Im thinking of going with the same color just a little brighter. In between midnight red and toreado red.
Posted By: Contour_LXsport_dup1 Re: pre 98 front bumper clips - 10/30/02 01:59 AM

Thanks for the info! Should be well worth the wait. So only thing that needs to be done is some trimming, reinforcement, drilling, and then its ready to go right? Just making sure. Thanks so much!!

The only trimming that needs to get done is the mouth of the bumper and fogs, I left them open so you could decide what fogs you want. you dont need to reinforce on these new bumpers, if there is an area you think needs to be reinforce go for it, but there shouldnt be any. the spots are marked for drilling but make sure they are in the right spot on your car, wrong spot means it wont mount right. the only thing left is filling. when they make these bumpers there are some parts where resin didnt become perfect, any bondo will work. if there are any questions go to the site, if you have mroe questions e-mail me. let me know when you have received your bumper!!!


Micah
Posted By: MIdnight95SE_dup1 Re: pre 98 front bumper clips - 10/31/02 05:52 PM
RECEIVED!! Bumper looks good, now I know what you meant about trimming the grill part and for the fogs. THANKS SO MUCH!! Anyone have any problems putting the Mirko Splitter on it? Mine just doesnt seem to fit on correctly for some reason..??! Well, thanks again Micah for all the hard work! Well worth the wait!
Posted By: Contour39191 Re: pre 98 front bumper clips - 11/01/02 01:37 PM
Recieved my bumper yesterday, I was so excited I put it on at 11:00pm last night after work. Very good in quality drill markings were perfect. Question do I need to place the little brackets underneath back on or is it ok to leave them off? Thanks Micah well worth the anticipation and good product.
Posted By: Micah_dup1 Re: pre 98 front bumper clips - 11/01/02 03:16 PM
are you talking about the rods that hold the bumper to the sub frame? if so they wont fit this bumper the rods are to short, you will need to make new ones or just leave it off. I dont know what everyone else has done, and I havent had a bumper long enough to know. Glad you both like it. Now I want to see some pics!!!!!

Go to home depot or lowe's or where ever and buy a piece of 1/8"thick by 1" wide steel strap and make a new support piece that is longer than the plastic one on the factory bumper. Just drill your holes and use the metal piece in it's place. I had to do this and the stock one isn't long enough as Micah stated and just the screws alone allowed the bumper to sorta sag at the very tip of the wheel well and look gappy. The steel piece is rigid enough to hold up the bumper nice and tight against the front quarter panel.

Guys you dont have a reason to worry. I have been here forever, I will be waiting longer then you for one. and now that bumper sales are over I wont even get one. Bumpers should be shipping soon. I think I have been part of the contour site long enough that worry shouldnt even be in your mind.


Micah

I think around 15 actualy got a bumper.
Posted By: obicanobi0_dup1 Re: pre 98 front bumper clips - 12/03/02 01:32 AM
wow I feel pretty lucky for getting one then.
Posted By: GIT-R-DONE Re: pre 98 front bumper clips - 12/03/02 01:36 AM
I am realy thankful and lucky to get a bumper also. Bing that I am one of the last two in the group buy I feel real lucky. I will be so happy when I receive it some day soon.
Posted By: Gouch Re: pre 98 front bumper clips - 12/03/02 06:04 AM
I paid for mine on Nov 15th.
Posted By: GIT-R-DONE Re: pre 98 front bumper clips - 12/03/02 07:41 PM
Not to sound rude or anythig but I paid for mine November of LAST YEAR. and you have seen that is taking some time. I was just curious as to why your in such a hurry to get the bumper when everybody else has had to wait patiently.

Now if I was in your position I could think of better things to do then be out $475 for a year; and not have my bumper. But hey thats just me.

I have been ripped of before, so this leaves me a little sceptical by nature. (though I am in no way saying that is what is happening here) I have never recived anything through Greyhound before, I dont have a tracking number and have not been left with a warm fuzzy feeling inside. So forgive me if at this time I am a little in insecure about this trasaction.

Posted By: GIT-R-DONE Re: pre 98 front bumper clips - 12/20/02 02:17 AM
Just asking but have you pad your full $500 yet? $450 bumper, $50 shipping. I you haventpaid shipping it would probably help you get it a lil faster seeming ho micah needs the money.

And on a second note, Micah isnt realy on the boards that much any more. If you remember this post by him then you can remember why.

Anyone want one of these bumpers asap, drop me a line. I may be selling my bumper and going a bit more extreme. I have one sitting here still in the shipping wrap Micah used to ship it in.
Posted By: Gouch Re: pre 98 front bumper clips - 12/20/02 08:01 PM
yeah its all paid for. He told me that he even shipped it and that it was sent back because grayhound couldn't contact me so it was sent back. When I called my greyhound they said they never had anything for me. That was more then a week ago. I emailed him a few days ago asking if you had any new info about it, and bumped this.
How much? i may be after one, post christmas..... (I need a spare incase of any misshap....., and im finding the molded mirko a bit too low, and ive still not installed my G/C's yet )

If you want a reply from Micah you might wat to reply to one of his post, but as you know he doesnt frequent the boards much anymore theres no need to keep trying.I just send him some more money for the bumpers and other things so maybe it will help.

If this may seem offensive dont take it that way, just a lil irratatation.
Posted By: Gouch Re: pre 98 front bumper clips - 12/25/02 04:51 AM
Im done and paid for. I called Greyhound again today and they told me nothing has come for me in the last week.

They also told me it should only take 3-4 days to travle across the country.

I understand that its xmas and all, and thats why I feel like Im being pretty laid back about them being so late.
