Nice find, again... and testimony of how important Tamiya was to the hobby!

Love the home-printed bumper, that turned out excellent! I bet now, however, with the benefit of seeing out your rear (hindsight :lol:), you're wishing you played with the curve a little in the front corners, to better match the lines of the front corners of the body..... :wink:

the extra space also hides foam pads I had to install to keep the body from making horrible vibration sounds against the bumper. So it worked out. I could improve the bumper to match original more but I wanted it fast to run the car.
Plus alignment of the bumper is not easy took me hours of bending and tweaking and moving the body mounts around to make it all sit flat. Pain in the butt.
Well, as long as your reasoning is sound :wink:
