[JET-33]

[Horus]

[JET-33]

[chopobo]

ouch jet-33

welcome to my world

i cracked my front bar in two places first day i got the car

haha

but man its a new 400R bar, thats a bitch

how bad is the cracks? are they like mine?

maybe you can buy some fibre fill and do it yerself

and jus put some touch up paint on it

since its silver and it isn't that noticable on silver

[JET-33]

yeh i have touch up paint, needs a little but of fibreglass and a new mount whole i think, thats about it

[chopobo]

are you running stock height?

man you musta went over the driveway pretty hard to crack it

i went over a ramp at 40kmh and bang two cracks and other line cracks all over the ridges and cracks where the bolts and screws are

pretty fuct up

[JET-33]

was barely movin at all, just a little lip on the side of the drive

i think it was actually the fkn support brace undeneath that the damn panel beaters decided to put in...theyve stooged me again

cos i think that rubbed on it, cos the bar didnt touch, and cos the brace didnt want to budge it draged the kit with it and cracked it

im lowered, real bad with this bar, haha, low as

[ApacheX]

jet, how much ya front cost ya?

i been lookin for a 400r front for ages

[JET-33]

i didnt pay 4 it

but i think around 500, so by the time its fitted and painted its close to 1k

[R33gtst]

ouch!

i feel for u jet.........i've been there

just one small mistake and *crack*!

damn fibreglass!! why can't they make it more flexible!!!

try Auswide in Ringwood, found their prices too be lower than other places i checked, and they did a decent job of patching a HOLE and repainting my front bar........

[funkymonkey]

is you're fibreglass reinforced with steel meshing? Shoulda payed that lil extra for poly eurathane... all u get is scuff marks...

[JET-33]

r33, il give em a ring, cheers

[chopobo]

1k for a front bar?

shit!

van said he'll do a front bar for me cost price $350

guess im not gettin ripped haha

[JET-33]

as i said i didnt pay 4 it

but yeh nismo 400r will sell 4 around 500, then to fit and paint you will almost pay the same...thats just how panel beaters do it...i think its a rip off aswell

[chopobo]

how can you charge that much to put it on

i mean paint can't be that freakin expensive

[predator]

Time, labour, oven time, workshop time - plus the fact most are insurance jobs so they can jack the price up. I reckon just speak to a few places - whenever previously I've got stuff fixed on old cars, its generally "is this an insurance job?" say "yes" and its like almost double. Speak to 'em, if they jack you around just go elsewhere. My 2c.

Fibro kit is $30 plus a few extras you'll need. I might make a start on fixing mine this arvo.

[JET-33]

plus they have to prepare the bar cos a lot of them dont fit perfectly and r very ruff when first purchased...
