LOL Why are you using my car dude!!!

I demand royalties payable to me :D

But I think it's a good idea; not too overdone or aggressive.
 
It does look classy while adding the all-important foglights. Go for it. I would love to see it.
 
I would think the application would be the same gen 1 or 2 I just found a site with new bumpercover for 365! You can't toich one for less than 500. Still looking for a used one cheaper and a gen 2 bumper to experiment with. When you buy abftermarket ground effects and kits with double stick tape it seems to workout. I'm just trying to guess the overall wiiddth. Anyways ill keep posts up. Gping to go install the new cams in motor today! I'm so close I can feel it. As. For nobody makes things for gen 1. I can't fbind anything for gen 2. All the body stuff, wings, cowl hoods, etc was all for gen 1. Besides all gen 1 are good for are farm equipment hauling sod and chickens!

booo
 
i like the gen 2 with the speedstars and conti extreme contacts, that guys running 255/45/18 all around and in one photo i saw koni shocks. is that a coil over conversion? i don't want my tires to rub the wheel well when the air ride goes down after a day of not being started up, would i be better off converting, getting the 18s and lowering the car an inch?
 
iv alays been an advocate for coil overs, when theair goes bad. its cheap, easy enough to do in your driveway, and no more worries about this going bad or that sensor breaks or bag leaks, 2.5 hours done. and you can get springs with all kinds of ride heights and spring rates. if you dont care about cornering performance, the air ride is great, just sloppy. i have standard strutmaster conversion, but am going to get vogtland or eibach springs when i switch to 18" rims. after the motor isin and tuned right, the gears next then paint.but the more i look at the marauder bumper the bigger itch iget to do it. i found a new bumper cover CHEAP i mean cheaper than a bone yard used. just have to get it. OH it will be done.but to answer your question yes to all
 
For the money, I honestly don't see that air ride is worth the hassle, especially if you plan on it being a "performance" car.

This question can't be answered by anyone other than yourself. You have to decide for yourself the comfort level and handling abilities of your earth-mobile

Air ride is comfort, great for blue hairs or anyone with hemorrhoids.

I personally think a set of Tokicos or Billsteins wrapped in some Eibachs are perfect, but also take corners faster than I really should




I meant to edit "you'd be better off fixing your leak" I was being a smart-ass

So, uh, when were you ever in a Mark that could corner like my white Mark..... or any car that could corner like my white Mark. And what kind of springs did that Mark have?

When we took that turn by my house where 65 is really pushing it and we were doing 90 I think your exact words were "Holy chit, thought we were gonna flip. You're a fuggin dick........ why didnt it make any tire noise?" :lol:

I wouldn't go that far. I know more than a few cars that couldn't 'hang' with my '93 in the twisties.

I'm not sayin' it's a corner carver, but it holds the road quite well and it still rides on air.
 
i photoshopped again. i know the terminator bumper is being made, but im going to make one of these 2 . there is a lip spoiler as well on the marauder bumper i couldnt get in. i like the smaller 1 side fog lamp holes. there is also another i like, however its a little aggressive, but its just plain nasty made by cvx for the mach 1/ its way expensive too as the marauder can be got cheap at junkyd for around 200, or new with the 98 cobra for 360 and bodywork still to be done. anyhow here are the 3 im considering.

I like the rounded shape of the second p/s. Looks more in-line with
the original shape of the bumper but I like the intake from the first p/s
but with a smaller fog light opening like the bumper cover I'm working on.
Although mine has more of an air intake opening as opposed to a fog light opening.


If I didn't live too far from you, I'd be willing to collaborate with you on this
project. How do you plan on grafting your bumpercover with the Marks bumper?
