I brought a new full stillen kit on craigslist not that long ago and stuck in my basement but today while looking closer at the kit I notice the bottom part of the front lip is bent, could I used a heating gun or hair blower to straighten it? Take a look

i have heard that heating will return urethane to it's original shape, but i've never seen results. might as well try it. what's the worst that can happen?

 

^^i agree...give it a try. little by little while pressing it against something flat.

 

Leave it outside in direct sunlight for a few days, one of the properties that polyurethane has is that it has a "memory" and will return to it's original shape once it's been heated and then cooled down a few times.

 

wow that sucks.. Can't hurt to try...

 

It will turn to ice if I leave it outside.

Stillen will sell me a new one for $159 but that wipes out any good deal I got It doesn't look that bad on the bumper and some might not even notices. Anyways I'll hit it with the heating gun at work.

 

a space heater might be a better option. less focused heat.

 

A heat gun will work just fine...I've done it successfully.

Just make sure that you dont heat it TOO much....just enough to form it a bit.

 

yeah the heat gun will work, i used it b4 on my lip
looks like its in good shape other than that
how much did u get it for if u dont mind me asking

 

I got the kit for $350 delivered to my door....the kid drove about 40 miles to bring it to me.
