joelwatts Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 last night i was on the way home on the interstate when a pontiac gp shot a tire gator about 2 ft long at my car. it was headed for my windshield but i slowed enough for it to hit the bumper first. busted my one good fog and busted up the bumper pretty decently. guess now i have an excuse to put on an ob bumper. are all ob bumpers the same for those model years or is one better than another. this is what i would like to have. if anyone knows a part # that would be awesome. thanks. http://members.shaw.ca/c-mod/items/legacy98wbgrillcsample5.jpg I'm a native of South Carolina.

Zues Marine Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 all the OB bumpers are the same.. you'll need the bumper beam though i'd just go ahead ad get some hella 550's or the like to mount in the fog holes too while its all out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasLegacy2.5GT Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I freakin' love Thai wagon with the Morettes!! Broken, do those fogs really get in the way of an intercooler? http://members.shaw.ca/c-mod/items/legacy98wbgrillcsample5.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted June 5, 2011 I Donated Share Posted June 5, 2011 Yeah they do get in the way of a front mount intercooler. I have a front mount on my car with the OB bumper. They are not in all the way though. I have to come up with some kind of spacers or something to fit behind them. If I use them, blind all the other cars on the road because they are pointed straight up lol The last pic will show you why FMIC gets in the way of OB fogs http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v287/broknindarkagain/LegacySTI/IMAG1044.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v287/broknindarkagain/LegacySTI/IMAG1083.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v287/broknindarkagain/LegacySTI/n1415673377_431303_4088678.jpg -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

TexasLegacy2.5GT Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Broknin, I can see what you mean in that last picture with the OB bumper off. So, in the proceeding photos how are the lights holding on? I l've taken a look at my regular LGT fog mounts and even those look like they'd get in the way of that intercooler. BTW, your car freakin' looks awesome!! When my LGT grows up he wants to look like that someday. Haha!! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v287/broknindarkagain/LegacySTI/n1415673377_431303_4088678.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
