Hey guys, just need some advice. I just got my poly nismo bumper for cali today and since there's going to be pretty much no sun for the next 7 days here I was wondering what I could do to get it to return to its original shape. Right now I have it sitting inside my house which is 20C, do you think this will do the trick?

 

Hair dryer or heat gun, but don't have it to close to the poly.

 

i dont understand?!!!

"I just got my poly nismo bumper for cali today"

Used from cali? it was warped because of the warm weather there? any pics or have a detailed description of the condition of the bumper?

 

New they come folded up in a box but you put them in the sun and they pop back in to shape.


I would just put a small space heater in the room with it at around 25-30deg. If you dont have a space heater just try it for a few days in the house at room temp. I didn't have much sun then I brought it in the house and it popped back to shape.

 

Thanks guys, sorry i worded that wrong. I mean't to say bumper FROM cali! It was all packaged up in a small box and folded a couple times, I just put it in the house and everything is fine! The house is about 20 degrees or so and its taking shape now. I stretched it out around my table to help it out as well!

 

That's great...
IDNK that they shipped that way.

 

^yeah, interesting to learn that. G/L CDN G35. Nice bumper.

 

Yeh, I was super surprised when the guy got my box off the UPS truck. I even asked him if it was the proper package! It came in a home depot box that was no bigger than 2x2x2. I opened the box and it was almost rolled/folded a couple times with a zip tie running through the install points to keep it secure.

I'm hoping to have the bumper/grill and hood on b4 winters end and get up to TO for a meet. I'll have my spacers from Ian this week as well so they should make a difference as well

 

i would open a can of whoopass from that dude you bought it from....too bad he's in cali

 

There's nothing wrong with doing it the way he did it. Poly is super duper flexible. Its already back in its original shape and ready for prep/paint

 

post pics wehn u r done

 

do you mind to tell us which vendor did you buy it from? how $$??

 

...probably saved a lot on shipping that way.
Otherwise it's an oversized pkg. $cha-$ching

 

I got it from RichieSays. He is a sponsor for the site and has quite a few bumpers. I paid 400 shipped from Cali which isn't too bad at all I thought.

 

I'm dreading the shipping bill on my CF hood whenever I find one. I've been looking locally for months but nobody wants to give theirs up. I think I might just have to resort to the gold ole USA.
