Klumzyee's TS front

I've heard stories where urethane starts sagging after being in the sun or heat for too long. I live in Vancouver, and was wondering if anyone further south could provide me input as to how their TS front is holding up to the heat....

Thanks,

Only stories of sagging are from poorly installed TS fronts.. No SAGGING

hm...sweet...

i finally got my car back from the shop..the install looked a lot better today when I picked it up, maybe it was cause the owner of the shop realized wut a crappy job his workers were doing..

i think I have to remove the bumper to reinstall the grills tho

my man, you live in Van city and you're worried about sun ?

it rains all year round here even in the summer time, we barely see any sun..

I'm still hoping this summer will be a hot one in any case

I agree with this, IIRC, when thegirlsean first installed her TS front and posted pics, I noted a pretty big sagging area(pictures are gone) but in her new pics, the sagging is gone, so install plays a big role in this, as does just about any part to some extent

I've noticed this too, but I thought it was due to hitting a curb or something, didn't realize it was on all the TS replica's. Good eye!

I've seen TS replicas that appear to be wavy in pictures, but when I see them in person at the meets they looks PERFECT.

Not to mention the authentic TS front fits considerably worse than Eric's replica.
