You stated that those lights have a lifetime warranty and that you only used them for a few months under your Mustang. Can you recommend a contact cleaner?

I did polish the front of the oil cooler plate.

Amazingly, Cactus was able to provide some helpful pics early in the day. Other than that, I'd love to know exactly where the six foam pieces go on the inside of the narrow-body bumper. I saw an image posted by geolab that showed these pieces for a turbo bumper.

Tony - see previous response.

Chrome-effect film. Should make it easier to wipe the bug guts off.

Took some time to alter the aluminum crash bar to these standards, but I think it will hold up just fine. I'll see in a few months.

Marc - thanks. Does the 964 front bumper also use small sections of foam to close gaps around the oil cooler & a/c condenser?

Did both resistors years ago.

Kinda - the 964 has only 4 pieces of foam, 2 per side so there might be a difference from the 993.

There are 2 triangular wedge-shaped ones that go above the turn signal bump-in on each side and 2 quarter-circle ones that go below the turn signal bump-ins.

I'll find a few pics tonight.

Marc

edit: sorry, stuck at work late last night so I'll get some pics up later today.

Almost two hours. I am a very simple person.

Tony,
If any of your pics show the proper position of the six foam pieces, please post them.

Marc,
Thank you for posting. I think the 993 arrangement is altogether different - three pieces per side.
