you may want to get a clear bra for your V2... I'm not big on FRP parts - not as flexable/durable as urethane... sounds like you got a steal of a deal for a sweet bumper.

Default Just...

picked up some 303 from CT. Going to use it on Sat as the entire day will be dedicated to cleaning and storing Lana for the winter.

*RB hopes 303 lives up to the claims because at $13.99 it is the baller of CT interior cleaners .

Hmmm... I recall it being cheaper at my crappy. Like 10 bucks or 11.
Man, you guys are lucky you can buy frp bumpers, real or knockoff. The bumper I want is only in urethane, no one makes a replice, and it's like $700 BEFORE shipping and various rape-age. Sadly, it's also the only front bumper I like on my car.

japanese, canadian or american - FRP is not as strong/durable as urethane - Fiberglass breaks apart in larger chunks than urethane. If FRP was superior wouldn't you think more auto makers would use it for their OEM parts.

Certain types of hand laid FRP are supposed to be really strong, but it's expensive to manufacture, since it's hand laid after all. And if you want to be technical about it, CF is also FRP, as it is a fibre reinforced plastic, just a matter of what type of fibre is doing the reinforcing

On a very irrelevant side note, I really like Enjoy the Silence by Depeche Mode. I've liked it since I was a kid, but I only recently found out what the name of the song is, and who it's by.

On another side note, which is somewhat more relevant now that I've already brought up music. Where do you guys pirate your music? Torrents are pretty good for entire albums, discographies, etc.. but what if you just want a song? My music collection is rapidly aging, as I've not been able to properly bolster it for years now. I think Limewire was the last "real" source I had, and that was quite some time ago.

Opinions needed.

I don't know if I have the ***** to wear my costume, and I'm looking for some advice.

I bought a little kids frog costume. It's soft and plushy and has googley eyes.
I thought it would be hilarious if I wore it. unfortunately there was no way I could fit into it in one piece.
So I cut it in half at the waist. The pants stretch over my legs just barely, and the little frog feet stop at my knees. The pants won't quite cover my whole ***. the top barely goes over my shoulders, and the hood with the frog face barely stretches over my head. I was going to wear some Black Nike Fit stuff underneath so my body parts aren't exposed, but it's still pretty innappropriate how much I bust out of this costume.

Question is, funny? or stupid and embarrassing for no reason?
