these were in my car till my four way went through them
two 12s fosgate....same as in 2fast and 2furious

[D-Man]

Step 1. Drive to Houston and Pick up beer along the way
Step 2. Supply D-Man with beer to cover cost of labor and to DEATH to cover cost of shop/tools/supplies
Step 3. Drive home happy with near stock looking bumper gaps
Any questions?

It's so true...

I can fix those too (you'll have to wait till auguest if you need the seats though I'm still using them ATM)

iv got seats i took them off so i can put in speakers 6x9s right next to 3rd brake light..and 6.5s in the holester...and to noise cancel....but i do need help with dents and alining bumper....im getting a body kit and i would really like it to line up right...if u got tips on doing it myself that would be great.......i dont know when ill be down in houston cuz of hopital stuff going on (just had surgry...and yet that wont stop me from enjoing my car lol) too many doctors visit....i do how ever plan on moving down there to be with family

[D-Man]

okay. I'll give you all the advice i can. You just have to take pics in advanced so i can try to see what the heck your talking about.

I've already gave you my opinion on that bumper. You can see one of the tabs that it's not holding onto in one of your first pics.

Advice Tip #2, When you move to Houston, I dont work exclusively for alchol. But it sure does get me out faster



For real, I'll be happy to patch that side up for you though. Hollar at me next time you come down.

[Dragondog]

the pannel was all pushed in tail light didnt line up at all i rubber hammerd on the inside of my trunk pushing the pannel out it lines up better now but im still not happy...i think the pannel is ****ed its all bent funny and there are so many natural curves its hard to get the way its suppost to be

[D-Man]

Look at that black thing under the light. On the inside of the bumper is a C shaped clamp that kina CLICKS into each other... just without the click... It's difficult to explain, but if you take the WHOLE thing off, and put it back on, i promise you the results will be MUCH better

Your car would run better if you took your IAT sensor off the frame rail and put it in your intake where it belongs.

yea um thats y i took the pic.....cuz my intake does not have a place for it...and when u mean run better u mean gas wise? cuz it run better then any other car iv ever driven and iv driven more cars then i can count...just bad on gas...didnt used to be....i drove to houston wile back and i filled b4 i left and again 3/4 the way there...it used to be real good on gas.....and what is the IAT sensor for anyways...if i knew how to put it on i would (i dont have a way of weilding) any thoughts?

yeah the throttle cable is fine.

The IAT(intake air temp) sensor needs to be in-line with the air coming into the motor, so what you need to do is just pull your intake and drill a small hole in it a few inches back from the filter, then put a rubber grommet on it, and stick the sensor in. Thats all.

the original grommet from the stock intake makes a great insert for your SRI - just remember to drill the hole slightly smaller than the grommet's groove diameter is so it will press fit in and the IAT will press fit into that [not much - you just want it to seal slightly - your MAP based so a small leak there will be no problem].
This is the best way to do this.

-Or-

in the meantime, just ziptie the sensor to your intake piping near and facing the cone [To be honest the thing does very little as it is it's just you have it laying on a potentially hot metal surface]. You should fix it the right way above but I know plenty of people who don't - just get it off the frame rail]

[D-Man]

Oh man, those were your damn "pop tabs" I hate those things... Now that i can see in there, it looks like your center piece is fcuked up actually... Get a fiberglass repair kit from walmart, Sand the edges of that thing with a high grit so you get some tooth & grip on that polyurethane, and refabricate the tab that screws into that area behind your light. Just guessing from the pic, that should help straighten things up a bit. However, i think that bumper is off center too though... Then again, i'm lookin at pics. What would i know But those poptabs look like they're out of alignment. angled; if you will.

IDK, i'd have to put my hands on it to guarantee anything. But fabing that tab back to one piece and attaching it cant hurt

[Dragondog]

maybe this will help notice where the tab is conected its a spot weilded pice of metal, to me it looks the pannel is bent downwords plus to make it worse one of the spot wields is broke off makeing the metal pice, the bumper is cliped to, hang downward along with pannel bent downward causing the bumper to wrap and sag
is there a how to on taking the bumper off?
