Yeah, it seems like if it were just the bumper, that would be pretty easy to remove and do right. However, it has been at two dealerships at least, so it may have been painted due to some chips or something. I could see it being done "fast" vs "right" in that case.

However the front bumper has a scraped area on it, which kind of discounts that, unless it got bumped at the dealer post-repaint. Other than that, the car looks nice. Weatherstrip looks original and in good shape, the interior is in great shape, and the paint is generally good, though swirl-marked all over.

It's at a dealer and they were closed when I looked at it, so I haven't seen the engine bay, nor gotten a super close look at the interior.

The wire loom is in the right place. It attaches to the backside of the crash bar. The reason it doesn't stand out is because it's black. When it gets painted, BINGO!!!, there it is.

Definite re-paint though.

Heheh, no not really. A friend was interested in the car. The dealer is pretty firm on the price though so it probably won't happen.

Damn! Then I must have one of those fake 90 ZR-1's because I have two conduits. Somebody must have faked my vin# to.




All this time I've been living a lie. Goldy I guess this means you will have to renounce my registry membership.

Ryan you'd be correct. A 5 1/2" hole has to be cut in the front bumper support to install it. Also has a 1/2" steel brace that is installed for extra support. Looks like I will need to tuck those wire looms back up with some zip ties. Looks kinda tacky hanging down like that.

The conduit is actually factory attached with a clip to the rear of the front crash bar. I would suspect that the Ram Air setup attributes the Rhipsher's conduit sitting lower now.
