[DeTomaso] 73 on BaT - #4604

[Mike Drew]

Joe,

They don’t look right on this car because the person who installed them is a moron. :(

The bumpers are supposed to be parallel to the ground, which coincidentally is parallel to the top of the turn signal housing. Couldn’t be easier. 

Whoever did this car had apparently never seen a Pantera before so the bumpers were installed WAY crooked, parallel with the top surface of the fender. If they were all built like that we might accept it. But because none of them were built like that, it looks terrible to our eyes. Another heavily modified Pantera sold on BaT a few. Moths ago with the same mistake. It looks super-weird. 

As long as your guys are committed to installing your bumpers properly, I guarantee you will be happy with them. 👍

Mike
