Hey.
The time has come to decide whether or not you want a set of the Front Bumperette Delete Inserts.
If you still want a set, PM me and I will add you to the list and send you my PayPal address and any further details.
Maybe, you've seen the thread about them but I'll give you a quick recap just in case this is all new to you.
The idea is to go from this.......
To this.....
Via this.....
They fit like this......
and this.........
This is how they will look when they arrive and this was how the look after even minimal prep....
This is the relative size.....
There has been a lot of back and forth on the design from a longer base to smaller mounting holes, larger ridges, area's that potentially interfered with the removal of fog lights etc, and this is the design that I feel will get most people within 90% of where they want to be.
Unfortunately, there is no 'one size fits all' solution for these cars. The bumperettes vary in their position from car to car and even from drivers to passenger side. I can't be any clearer than this....YOU WILL HAVE TO DO SOME WORK ON THESE TO MAKE THEM FIT YOUR CAR.
They need to be tested in place which may require removing some of the material on the piece or adding slightly to it. They may require a spacer to be added under the mounting base to make them sit slightly further forward. They may require the base to be sanded down to make them sit slightly further back. It may require that the mounting hole to made slightly bigger.
It will definitely mean that the ridge will have to be reduced on most cars as they are impossible to fit with the mounting base in place.The ridge can be reduced or removed entirely as required BUT if you intend to use these as glue-in inserts and cut away the mounting base, then they are absolutely necessary.
The piece will be made so that it is solid above the diagonal support to the base to allow it to be cut there without exposing infill IF you decide to use them as pure inserts. Being solid will alos allow for it to be sanded down on the face if necessary.
Regardless, they will need to be adjusted, sanded, primed, painted and clear-coated. If that is beyond you, please don't order a set.
I will inspect all the prints before they are sent out to check for imperfections and then it's up to you.
Again, just to be clear, if you still want a set, PM me and I will add you to the list and send you my PayPal address and any further details. If you choose to pay for them then I would imagine that it'll be a couple of weeks for the number of orders exceed the 50 units I need to order and a couple of weeks for them to be made in bulk, sent to me and then arrange for me to send them all to you. On the other hand, if we don't make it to 50 units, I'll call it after a couple of weeks and just pay the extra needed to produce them in s smaller batch.
The cost per set is $117 which includes shipping and handling to anywhere in NA.
If you are one of the people who have already PM'd me about getting a set, you don't need to send another PM. I will start to respond to the PM's that you've already sent over the weekend and from there I'll just respond as they come in.
It's a first come, first served basis. If you are the 51st order, it may take a while before there is enough additional interest to order another batch. I'm not trying to upset anybody, I just can't order large quantities of these as they have to be paid for up front and it is thousands of dollars. On the other hand, if it does top out at 90 I will probably just order another batch of 50 and keep the last 10 in reserve for people that didn't see the original threads.
Thanks for the interest and support as well as the use of some of your cars to get additional information.

Reason: Ending
If all the PM's I received actually pay for a set, we will be 3/5ths of the way to the first batch after just a couple of days! I'll post a list of orders in the sequence they were received soon.
