Ap2 bumper came in, had to modify the support to make it work on the drivers side. Lucky for me the passenger side was crushed enough to not matter




Spot weld removal tool broke about here...

Old

The country's supply of AP1 drivers quarters was zero when I ordered figuring I would go on a back order list forever, but lucky me this showed up a week later at Honda.




So much better. The broken tabs on the passenger side headlight I fixed as well so now both headlights are in!

Is that an OEM panel?

gooooooooooo need. This is a day I regret selling my house/not having a garage, would otherwise set them aside until I have the time/money to get my car painted.

Good stuff, glad you chose to replace the panel.

Nice job!
So you didn't need to take of the soft top. How the panel is attached under soft top rubber moulding? Only with glue?

From the factory they have a few spot welds hidden up along that edge, but to save time/effort of taking the entire soft top off I glued it when we reinstalled it all along that edge with a 3M hard seam glue.

Hummmm, whats the widest wheel/tire combo I can fit under OEM fenders... Trying out some options we had laying around. 18x10 275's in this offset seem too wide.


Here is the wrap the car is getting in a few weeks for the first Gridlife event in April! Adding some CR aero to it before we wrap.
