try baroing an electric heater or a hair blower(dryer) or I guess you could wait for a warm day, if I could pray I would have had for a sunny day, but if you feel the weather wont let you continue the project we will understant if you put it on hold for a couple of weeks/months frown.gif, unless you cou;d borrow a friends garage or something, next summer go to car clubs and shows and make some friends that share the same passion for cars like us, and ask them to let you work in their garages every now and then you know and just get them a couple of bears or something and maybe do them a couple of favors a or help them with anything, I've made really good friends on shows and they are really nice people. you should give it a try.
best luck and hope for a warmer day and as desperate as I am to see the project done, I will wait and man if you onle lived closer I could have hooked you up with my cousins garage! he said that whenever I want to do anything to my car that his doors are open and he has a really hot heater in there, all you have to do is move close to paterson NJ and I can convince him of lending the garage to you.

NO TURN SIGNALS!?!?!?! DUDE YOU CAN GET A TICKET FOR THAT, use at least 1 yellow/amber LED to at least have something incase a cop stops you, unless you want to pay fines

i am so glad i didn't do mine now, i have this bumper and it does not go well with the supra tails, i think yours looks great but this pic makes me sad. every cloud has a silver line and i'm sure you will make it look better than ever! Would love to see some pics of the damage so we can see your good work when its done again...
