Side track from the topic

Anyone knows of workshops that does the above mentioned? Reason is the paint on the side skirts have started peeling and instead of a paint job, thot it might be better to plaster over and last longer too.

Hopefully this thread is a breath of fresh air from all the shiny, wetz wetz exterior detailing pictures. Here is a peek into the engine bays of two old cars and the owners' obsession with keeping it clean. This is a place where many owners neglect to clean but a source of great satisfaction when you've done it. First, an 8-year old EK Civic

Hi folks, I just saw a Ford Focus which has a rubber material affixed underneath the front bumper and side skirt, as sort of bodykit. Does anyone has any idea is there such aftermarket products that I can affix as front lip and side skirts? I touched and felt the material, and it feels like some strong and stiff rubber material, and i believe they are rivotted onto the base of the bumper and side skirts. Any advices will be much appreciated.

Recently, I was driving behind a Honda Civic with very low side-skirts, front & rear bumper lip and the body was very low. I believe that young man was not concentrating on his driving and he suddenly applied emergency brake when he saw a road hump ahead. As I was behind him, I too applied on my brakes. The next moment, he discovered that his front bumper lip got stuck on the hump and can't move his car. Instead of reversing which will only affect the front bumper lip, he moved forward and I could hear the screeking sound of the side-skirts and the rear bumper lip against the hump. He then parked his car at the road side to look at the damages. After driving my car over the road hump and stopped behind his car, he was cursing and swearing away for not concentrating and the damages incurred. He then told me that he regretted spending so much money to make his car so sporty and lowering the suspension. He was so frustrated at that moment that he told me he has decided to bring the car to the workshop to dismantle all the bodyworks. As his car cannot move due to the damages affected the tyres and since I am an AAS member, I called AAS towing truck to tow his car to his workshop while I drove him along in my car. All the way from the spot that his car was damaged until I drove his to his workshop, he kept telling me "IF ONLY THIS AND THAT" and if he had listened to his parents' objections, such damages would not have occurred. He told me that he was worried on the amount for the repair costs and does not have the money. I advised him that what happened has already happened and if he has no money for the repairs, he has to be thick-skinned and approach his family members. This is a typical scenario where one has overdone the bodywork of the vehicle to the extent of compromising on the possible damages and consequences.

Hello guys.. Was thinking of getting the above mention items after i clear this years Insurance and Road Tax... Hee hee..so starting to plan now...Anyone know where i can find locally or in JB? So far shipping it in is not a wise choice as it costs about $700 from an aquantaince source. I have emailed Project Mayhem and Cool Customs but they didnt reply me for weeks already. Fabricating is not too good too...cos i dont have a lot of friends that are interested to share the cost of the Mold..so i am not sure how now. Pls...All suggestions and opinions are welcomed.
