soap, water, rubbing compund, wax, ect. black for ever.
maybe one day ill clean your bumper for you, perhaps at rotorfest.



i mean if i havent melted or blackened MY bumper yet i dont see how anyone else could have. hell i melted someone elses bumper and mine is still fine.



but i guess it depends on what fd bumpers are made out of, i think fc's are urethane.

Bend the exhaust so it hangs a bit lower. Some like the apexi sit too close and melt the bumper plastic.
