I sure hope you didn't jump right into that. $71 for an aftermarket bumper, that's warped. I got a GM factory replacement bumper new and ready for paint for $34 bucks, so I still have my arrowhead and no warping.

The arrowheads are overrated. 95% of Grand Prixs have the arrowhead.
 


Re: My Car is Fixed. Um. Yay.

I think it looks great minus the warp. I would at least talk to the place that "fixed" it and see what they say... they may fix it for free to save face and keep a good rep, or they may just shrug if off... either way, doesn't hurt to ask.
 
Re: My Car is Fixed. Um. Yay.

looking good man. take the car back. warp is bad let them attempt a heat gun if they wish that way if they melt thru paint they can repaint it.
 
Re: My Car is Fixed. Um. Yay.

car looks good, but how does a shop let a car roll out with a warp in a brand new part? thats saying a lot about the place you went to, and nothing good.

bring it back and have them fix that asap! so they dont try to blame you or something stupid.

to think some guy put in some hours to prep that and paint it, they had to see that warp but kept on prepping it? i dont get it.....
 


Re: My Car is Fixed. Um. Yay.

Looks good. I would take it back and have them fix it. You should have left the car there until they fixed it correctly.
 
Re: My Car is Fixed. Um. Yay.

Yea, i saw that in the pic, I checked it out and didn't see it like that again lol, might be the glare. I will check again..
 
Re: My Car is Fixed. Yay.

Here's the new emblem, just held it up to the car, haven't installed it yet, and it looked awesome. Yay.


Mints are there for size reference:

Im pretty sure your missing the whole air dam that is supposed to go there. Its held on to the front of the bumper with push clips iirc. If you have no idea what Im talking about I can get pics of the from on my car. If you had the piece Im talking about the warp wouldnt be there at all.
 


Re: My Car is Fixed. Yay.

what did it cost to bring her back?

and do you get to keep it? or do you have to sell it? hate to see it go, its a good looking car.

That is true... it IS missing. I was thinking it looked funny but couldn't figure out what wasn't there. Has a deflector that hangs down a bit and tends to get scratched all to heck by people who pull over curbs lol. Without it the lower will most likely keep sagging more and more. GET ONE NAO!!!!
 
Re: My Car is Fixed. Yay.

It was $1900, and I get to keep it. (Yes ik its expensive). The air dam is there lol, and it is missing the clips, my dads gonna get some from work. Theres a scratched up thing a little farther back, I thought that was the air dam, but idk.

And no it isn't stock sized arrow head, but they do have a 4" one of these on ebay. This is 5".
 
Re: My Car is Fixed. Yay.

not to bad i guess, me being me, i would have fixed it all my self and had a shop paint it up and saved a bundle, but we all have to do as we must to do.

keep it clean and good luck with it, and drive safely. :D
