poics on a light color car so we can see if there are any gaps anywhere. On a black car you cant tell. This will help in your sale.

i don't see sidemarker holes on there.
also, not sure what kind of paint would tolerate that kind of flex anyway, so kind of a moot point, but nice nonetheless. how much is it going to be and how does one order one?
great! it's like a rubbermaid bumper. now those shopping carts will really bounce off my bumper.

your body shop could cut the hole for the sidemarker, also, your bodyshop would paint it with the same flex paint that a stillen kit is painted with. The point of it is that it will not shatter like normal fiberglass from flexing!!

Nice bumper and all! but will they ever make one with the cut outs for the clear markers or will everyone just have to take their chances and modify their own bumper by cutting out the slots for the clear markers? just my .02!
Corey: Get some Merlot Duplicolor and we'll slap it on mine today! I promise you'll get it back when we're done with it 
Just an FYI: I met with Cory on Monday and asked about the flexibilty: They are using a new type of fiberglass that uses a polyurethane based resin. Just from a materials standpoint (Its been a while since I took the classes in materials for my ME degree, so forgive me if my info is not 100% correct) the glass will help to re-inforce the poly by basically limiting any tearing. The poly is what gives it the flexability. Basically, I'd say this is built better than stock.
...oh and a little birdy told me that you guys need to keep your panties on. There'll be pics, but just not in the next week or two...

if you would look back to past posts you would have seen that it was opted ou simply to make it look sleeker, but obviously you jumped to conclusions and think it was a money issue when it was not. you lose. Originally Posted by 88MaximaSE

Well, obviously it's a money issue for RLM at this point considering it's a factor in the purchaser's mind & would result in lost sales. I really wanted this kit made, but am not going to buy it b/c there are no sidemarker holes. Yeh, you could get a bodyshop to do the holes, but it's just plain stupid to make a buyer pay extra on their own just to make it street legal.
