Pignose Bumper Question?

[hatin']

I've searched for hours about this and there's literally not a single post on any site that explains it. I've got two holes under my turn signals on the new pignose bumper I purchased, and almost every single pignose bumper I've ever seen doesn't have them. The only reason I don't think the guy I bought it from just cut them himself is because I've seen the exact same holes on a couple others, but the other 1000+ I've seen don't have them. Am I the only motherfucker with these stupid holes? What do you even use to fill large spaces in urethane? I'm at a loss..

[hatin']

anybody?

[Z_Spool]

pics of said holes? As for filling, your kinda SOL, but luckily most people will give their pignose bumper away.

Id just find another bumper. Someone may have had brake ducts or fog lights in them. Repairing holes on such a common bumper isn't worth the trouble.

[hatin']

They aren't common around here, it took me forever to find it. You'd think Detroit wouldn't have that problem, being the motor city and all.

You'll be better off just grabbing a new one... I have a pignose laying around... No lip though

i have a pig and dont know what ur talking about pics would help

[hatin']

those are the holes. i think with some fiberglass tape and some two-part epoxy and some sanding, it should look pretty normal. i really don't want to have to go through the trouble of finding another one, think i could pull it off?

for the record, if anybody anywhere near the metro detroit area is selling a pignose bumper, or you know anyone selling one, let me know, i feel like i bought the only bumper in existence with these fucking holes.

[Z_Spool]

yeah, that's hole-saw magic right there. Trying to patch up a poly bumper will never come out right. Never... sorry. I say just rock it as is until you find another. I'll see if I can find a free one laying around here in CO that you can have at the cost of shipping because I'm just that awesome.

Honestly that shouldn't be too difficult to patch. Any competent body shop can fix that for you. Or if your'e feeling up to it, you can do it yourself. Just search google and I'm sure you can figure it out.

yeah i really was thinking the same thing, i think i'm going to attempt to do the fiberglass tape/two-part epoxy approach. if it gets fucked up, well, it was fucked up in the first place. Z_Spool, that would be awesome, I'd even be willing to pay a few bucks on top of shipping costs if it's in any kind of good condition. I'll post pics later of my repair attempts if anybody cares enough to see how it turns out

[leung]

Yep mine definitely doesn't have those nor have I ever seen another one like it.

[Pandadub92]

maybe they had fog lights? ask the guy u bought it from, who knows it might even look good with the lights in there and everything

[TheRealSy90]

Hole saw all day long.

i've seen people just like totally fill in the pignose part of a pignose. like this:



so i'm pretty sure filling in those holes should be no issue.

i wasn't planning on doing that, that was just an example. i got lazy and dremelled the holes to look more like air intakes and less like random fog light holes.



it all works.

[Piggy]

I think what you just did looks great. Get a lip and all is well.

[7jpat]

yeah that looks good

[Mishkin_707]

That does look nice, I'm sure the guys in the "modified pignose bumper" thread will be all over this one

[fliprayzin240sx]

Thats what i was thinking, i'd modify the hole and make it square-ish. Hook up some foglights or duct some of the cool air into the engine bay.

[hatin']

yeah, i'm probably going to fashion up some ghetto way of ducting them into the engine bay, or one to the air filter and one to an oil cooler if i ever get bored and buy a kit.
