It looks wavy to me, in fact everyone I've seen you can clearly see waves in it from the joining process. I would drive carefully and avoid bump. The joing process will probably hold up pretty good since it was welded, but the finishing side with the glass and filler will soon come off. Large amounts like this will eventually separate because of the polypropylene material. This material is very difficult to work with. It will take small amounts though. It looks ok, but IMOP just a little too busy for this 98 yr old man.

What are you talking about Willis? Are you referring to the bumper? tonyb635 I'll be fighting and scratching all the way to 100. I decided at my age to radically change and become part of the dark side collective. At my age I should just give in. But I always like to live on the edge. Nobody will ever be younger and more rebellious and radical as me. As with all my toys I just have to make it as close as to the best as possible. I guess I'm yearning for attention. I bet you when I leave this world I'll have the best looking casket in the planet. Take a look at my Harley Davidson for example.LOL I'm being vain. God please forgive me.

Boys and their toys. Not worried with bumps only light poles. Once I get home I'll post on the quality of the bumper mod. I'll be home in 6 days God willing. Wahooooo!!!

Ha ha, nice bike. Is that lady getting ready to lick that tank...? Btw the 98 yr old thing was referring to me, I know your not quite that young yet. Can't wait to see your detailed QA report on this bumper.

Thanks zake540. Man haven't driven my car in a while. I travel Monday thru Friday for my new job and return home on weekends. I can't wait to finish this project before winter.
