ed monahan POA Lifetime Site Supporter Prowler Junkie Personal ScrapBook From:Cincinnati, Oh, USA Registered: Jul 2000 Admin Use	posted 08-31-2004 05:06 PM Everyone else had spots and complained about them long before I got them. Mine were not black spots, just discolored splotches if I remember correctly. My car was always in a garage and it was not from bird droppings. These spots were as big as a tennis ball. I got them painted very soon after I spotted them. I had already decided to do it so it was not due to the spots but that was the clincher.

CJ POA Lifetime Site Supporter Prowler Junkie Personal ScrapBook From:Rochester Hills, MI USA Registered: Jul 2000 Admin Use	posted 08-31-2004 09:59 PM I liked the painted bumpers I had seen. I will not ever take my bumpers off, so I painted them to give my cat more of the "monochromatic" look......rather than have them stand out against the car color. I think I was the first to paint the candy bumpers and a lot of people liked them. I know that I do and it allows the other "mods" on my car to stand out more than the bumpers.
Top Kat POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:Glen Allen, Va U S A Registered: Oct 2002 Admin Use	posted 08-31-2004 10:11 PM NO BUMPERS for me, thank you. Took fronts off about 1 month after car purchase, and rears off about 6 months later. Really cleans up the lines of the car, in my humble opinion.

GenoTex POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie Personal ScrapBook From:Oakfield, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2002 Admin Use	posted 08-31-2004 11:42 PM Rich - it could be you & Linda riding down the road hanging out the windows with fly swatters so you won't have to detail the car again at the end of the day's cruise. Good one Marty! Thanks for that info, Rich... interesting! Very interesting!
kees POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:Capelle, Zuid Holland, Netherlands Registered: Jul 2004 Admin Use	posted 09-01-2004 01:13 AM Just to add some international flavour to the discussion: My preference is dictated by European legislation. It's illegal in The Netherlands to drive without so that makes my choice relatively simple. Like the painted bumpers of CJ though together with the Hardtop. Kees

There is the safety/insurance issue also...and the Bob issue. Seriously.........I liked the way the car was designed and bought it because I loved it. I have no desire to remove the bumpers........I did paint them to match for a different look, though. Ditto! ------------------

CJ - I just noticed in this picture of your candy louvered side panels [NICE],,,that they were made without the side marker lights. Wouldn't this be a safety/insurance issue as well?

To me they are only there to satisfy gov. regs.

I changed my mind when I witnessed Frank and Brandi's car that went over the cliff in Tennessee and the front bumper twisted saving the whole front end from any damage....just unbelievable!

CJ POA Lifetime Site Supporter Prowler Junkie Personal ScrapBook From:Rochester Hills, MI USA Registered: Jul 2000 Admin Use	posted 09-22-2004 09:02 PM Roman's right..........ask Frank and Brandi.......and they do serve a purpose.

AC...Jay removed his front bumpers too but only after polishing the front end but did keep his side marker lights so I guess it's up to each individual as to what they they perceive as a "safety/insurance" issue...JMO This message has been edited by DIXIE Cat on 09-23-2004 at 12:30 AM
CJ POA Lifetime Site Supporter Prowler Junkie Personal ScrapBook From:Rochester Hills, MI USA Registered: Jul 2000 Admin Use	posted 09-23-2004 12:33 AM I doubt that side marker lights would have any impact on lessening damage to the car if the car got hit. If it is a safety issue.........certainly not as big a one as the bumpers. Do all cars have side marker lights?
ALLEY CAT POA Lifetime Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:mesa, az, USA Registered: Jul 2000 Admin Use	posted 09-23-2004 08:27 AM I believe there to be a federal law that requires that a amber color light source be seen from the "side" of the vehicle to prevent side impact collisions at unprotected intersections at night. Many car models have the amber light either in the front or rear light assemblies, which shows [luminous] towards the side of the vehicle. If the model doesn't have either of these options built in, then a side marker light must be added to the side of the vehicle.
