Installation of Cervinis Stalker front? Besides for baking and painting..what else?

[gruvee87vertgt]

So I am about to replace my front bumper with a Cervinis stalker bumper.

Besides for baking it, prepping it such as primer then painting....do I need to do anything else?

I will be bolting it on myself.

what kind of issues shoud I expect? thanx

No issues. I didn't have to bake mine prior to painting but it was mid-summer when I got it. I just put it on the car and left it white for about 6 weeks then had it sanded, painted, and primed.

Dry fit the hood before you have any prep work done to ti to ensure that all is good.

Plan on getting hood pins of some kind. The instructions tell you that they're not required if you use the secondary latch but I don't trust it. I've had the hood pop up and catch the 2nd latch on the highway a couple of times and it's pretty scary. hehe

was looking at that bumper cover one time on ABC Exclusives site. what really caught me off guard was the corners near the tops of the fender were seperate from the rest of the bumper cover whats the deal with that? lol

dont buy that one...that the cheap half-butt version of it.

The cernivis dont come in pieces like that one.

I think we are talking about difference pieces...I am talking about the front bumper with lip and I think you talking about the Hood?

IMO…..That statement is a prime example of why so many people say buy Cervini’s because it’s what they’ve read but they have absolutely no actual experience with other products but yet they can tell you how bad another product is .

Have you (not one of your friends or a friend of a friend, but you) ever bought or install an ABC product before, or was your statement about being cheap and half- butt from what you read, or was that statement because you bought a Cervini Product?

The reason I ask is because I didn’t see where you said from my experience ……… so I’m curious as to where you got your information.

Now this is my experience with Cervini’s and why I say dont buy a Stalker from Cervini's, along with a few others.
