New bumper
Got a new bumper, also made a blog, going to use it to keep track of the 8's progress.

Yes it is a replica, and yes it's not painted, and yes those are zip ties. Feel free to hate.

^Urethane is much better than fiberglass. It is more prone to sagging, but if you have everything bolted up right you will be fine. My side skirts are urethane and they are fine when i scrape. Front bumpers made out of fiberglass will get destoryed if they hit a curb a little too fast.

looks like I'm gonna be getting it painted some time next week, the bodyshop wants $200 for sanding, prep, prime, and paint.
Same shop painted a friends bumper:
But there is a problem with the car, the red battery warning light came on and stayed on today, and on my way back home the abs light came on and steering was a bitch.
The only thing I can think of is that I just disconnected the foglights and left the wires there, could this cause the problem?

so why does your blog say 09 SE3P whats the 09 for?
your car isnt an 09 obviously the only other explaination is that its 2009, are you gonna have a different blog for each year?

200 is a really good price for getting a bumper sprayed. It's nearly impossible to find a shop out here that will do a professional job for that. I paid $500 to get two carbon fiber fenders painted.

^Yeah it's a good price down here too, I'm most likely be gettign it painted next week.
As far as the red battery light: bad news. I was driving to a friends house to check the batter, and my car died. Looks like bad alternator, got it towed to the dealership. I won't know till tomorrow.
