What did you do with your Z today VI (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)

Ran over a big chunk of metal and the car started vibrating underneath. Precision Z fixed it at no charge. Cross member hitting my exhaust. Thanks PZ! They're my go to aside from SpecialtyZ.

Just wanted to show you guys what I was talking about yesterday about these spats pulling away from the bumper.

As you can see, these things have a lip on them which prevents a single layer of tape ever coming into contact with the body, so two layers have to be applied, and even three layers in some areas.

A totally crap design to say the least.

I need to find some really good, really strong extra thick automotive tape so I can use only one layer and be done with it, and use that 3M adhesive promoter on it.

And for the ladies in the crowd, please keep the comments to yourselves about the super sexy legs and feet in the bumper reflections.

This is what you need. In your situation, tape wouldn't do much because of how the part cured. You need silicone adhesive + clamps. I think mine was made by Sika.

That's sort of what I did last night. Bought some silicone adhesive at work and attempted to hold it all together with painters tape. I guess I'll find out in a little bit if the tape is still holding when I leave for work in a bit.

Yeah well, that didn't work. Plus the fact that we're in the middle of a drought right now, and late last night, it decided to rain of course, so the tape didn't have a chance of holding...

I'm going to. And I would be doing it tomorrow, but our a/c is on the fritz here at the house, so I gotta be here for the schmucks working on it tomorrow. Second time in two weeks...
