| feeebs | Its been 10 years with bumpers and suddenly I am thinking of removing fronts. I am way out of touch with part availability and cost. Where do I find removal kits these days? I would like to hear any feed back on what is out there. |
| fibertop | I had great success with the Tom Mills kit prowlerparts@jeffersonautocollision.com |
| StingRay | While a "purist", who happens to like the look with the bumpers in place, I have seen a number of cars with different kits, and Tom Mills' does appear to have the best fit and color match. That is the route I would go - if I were so inclined. |
| feeebs | I have been a purist all along, but being a 99 my bumpers were originally gray. I had them painted black several years ago only because i felt it looked better on a yellow car. I have some chips on them, so tonight I removed them to have them repainted. I don't know what came over me, but suddenly I liked the no bumper look. I think I had a flash back to those "Hot Rod" days of years gone by. I will give it a couple of days to see if I calm down, but mean time I will look into what Tom Mills has to offer. |

| padroo | My wife tries to protect everything for example. When we go to the lumber yard she puts a blanket down to protect the plastic bed liner. Now that you know where I am coming from, when I bought my 99 Prowler Christmas Day on EBay it sits in the garage and things have to be protected, right? I mentioned removing the front bumper and she said she likes it on, I said OK. Then I found the Speed Lingerie bumper covers here http://www.speedlingerie.com/ I ordered them in black and when they came I installed them (front only), they make the car look very custom. I don't have pictures yet but I will get some when I can get it in some better light. They were made very nice and the fit was perfect, kind of pricey but we are extremely happy with their product. |
| padroo | Hey Larry Lord, I noticed on your Prowler logo, you have a cargo carrier. I am looking to either buy or fabricate something for the back of my Prowler to carry luggage in. I don't always follow the crowd. |
| feeebs | Hey Larry, been a long time!! When was the last time you drove cross country in a cat? Always admired you for that! Mom & dad still talk about it, in their mid eighties. Nice hearing from a legend. |
| VinceM | I have the kit sold by Gary and believe it has a more streamlined look that better matches the lines of the car. I also saw the new upgraded LED lights he is using and they looked good. You can find a link to his website on the home page. |

Funny you should mention that,,,,2 years ago we drove to Chicago via Denver then ran Route 66 from start to finish.
Last year we spent 2 weeks going to and from Springfield Missouri and Branson.
I still love driving my car.
Isn't about your turn to make a cross country trip? |

I made some pretty nice (in my opinion) luggage carriers I call "KatRack" that plugged into the trailer hitch but stored in the trunk as a trunk organizer when not in use. Do a search and you should find information on them.
I use mine often and still think it's one of the best products I ever designed but I quit selling them because somebody got an obstructed license ticket, kept blaming me and just would not let-up. This is a hobby for me. I'm fortunate that I have manufacturing capabilities and that I make things that help other owners.
I'm always here if needed but seldom post much anymore. This message has been edited by Larry Lord on 03-14-2011 at 10:03 PM |
