I have the opportunity to buy a 03 cobra bumper that's brand new unpainted and all for a very discounted price....now my question is not includng the initial price of the bumper how much in general would or SHOULD it cost fo rme to have the COBRA letters shaved off to give that smooth look to the rear bumper cover? Thanx

 

you could try PM'ing badfish, he had that done.

i never understood while people say they are shaving the letters off. they actually just fill them in.

lol...

 

madden did it too.

 

Badfish...Madden care to comment?

 

i would go around to your local body shops and get some price quotes duh !

 

My local shop told me that they wouldn't do it becaus eplastic body filler would turn out lookin gbad in a year or so?!?!?! So what compound did you guys' shop use to fill in the letters? Cuz they said if they can find a compound that wil retain good looks then they will do it....so wtf? How did you guys have ya'll's done?

 

so if you sand off the paint you cant fill in the letters with bondo and sand it down smooth? The bondo wont "bond" to the urethane?

 

I imagine the deep of the letters are too deep for just Bondo. Prob have to fiberglass first. And honestly if you did get it all done after paying someone, which would be a nice dollar, to do it.And it looked good. I'd still be afraid of how strong it bonded with the uretane. But it would look damn good.
