Socallove - Will you update my status regarding the fog light cut-outs, I am paranoid that they will be forgotten, no offense to you just my own paranoia, LOL

Ohh crap... I'm so sorry Gorge, I completely forgot about your fog light cut outs. He already cut everything out, I'm afraid it's too late for you, but thanks for the $100 tip. Nahh I'm kidding, your bumper is coming with fog lights, everything is on my magical spread sheet :)

@Wrench, I have confidence in Alex and his team, surely they will go out by the 9th :cheers:

Omfg those welds are gorgeous!
Woo!
 
He text photos about 15 mins ago, that's exactly what I thought about the welds. I'm fully confident going clear coat!!!!
 

Those pics are really helpful to understand the design and construction.

Thanks!
 
Yes those welds are freakin amazing! I love the bracing. I can't wait to get mine!!! I get the first one!! Whooooo!
 
Hey socallove and others,

So there was a problem with the powdercoating getting done and my bumper was not done by the 25th like Alex and I agreed on me picking it up.
I was minutes away from his shop too after an hour drive when he told me it wasn't ready.
Now I won't be getting the bumper until around the same time these group buys get theirs if not later since I am back in Colorado and can't do a local pickup.

Is it right of me to ask for the group buy discount now that plans fell through on that side? I spent $1150 for a black powdercoat with cutouts and no shipping when guys on here are getting the same bumper for $950.

If any of you want to chime in with your opinions, I'd really appreciate it. I just feel like I've pulled the short end of the stick and as of now, Alex hasn't returned any of my calls or texts. :bang:
 
I say no because you made the decision to not take advantage of the group buy and instead purchase the bumper by yourself. I know it sucks but you have to live with your decision. Thats my opinion.
 
I have mixed feelings about how I feel about your situation.
I know you feel a bit zipped, but I did advised you to stay with the group buy. There's not much else I can do for you, does your bumper have to be shipped to Colorado now?

Paid! Thanks for all the great coordination work! Cheers
 
Got your transfer Cary, thank you for being quick :) Also got your PM, let's see what bulhas want to do, I can ask Alex on your behalf. :cheers:
 
Uh Oh

The :princess: likes this so much, she wants me to get one for the FJ too.
And so do I, but thats not money I have yet and the FJ is a company lease, so I won't change anything until I buy it out.

I showed the pictures to our "Grand Master" at work(he has been with the company for a LONG time; they ran out of titles) and even he likes it. Of course he wanted to know my plan to compensate for the extra 55kg on the front axle to maintain ride & handling performance.
He was only half-joking.
 
I see where you guys are coming from. It was still a $150 off so I shouldn't be upset about it.
I think i was just more upset that external factors made it to where I could not pick up the bumper when planned. :meh:

The bumper will be dropped off at my house in California this Thursday and then will be on a truck to me in Colorado when we move equipment from Cali to South Dakota.

I am not 100% sure that what looks like a brace, in the pics, that is below the 4" dia. light cut out, is actually a brace or is only on the bumpers with the cut outs and it is for mounting the lights. A good question for Alex, or wait until he post up pics of a bumper without the cut outs for comparison. :confused:

Yeah, that's just a mount for the fog light.

And I wasn't kidding when I said months ago this is the best looking bumper for the 80! The welds are really nice. Here's what it looked like after hitting it with a wire wheel for a few minutes

Hermm, that's something I've been debating, whether to brush it or sand it.

Update: Just got off the phone with Alex, he said the first batch will be ready by Friday! he will need funds for the second batch ASAP, check your PM's please and let me know if you are still in or out, thank you.
