The next step was to strip the spray-bombed bumpers and properly refinish them. I used lacquer thinner and a red scuff pad to get the old paint off, then masked it out and shot them with paint made specifically for trim and bumpers. The side trim got the same treatment. I had some SEM paint leftover from another project so I used that to paint the red stripe.








I also found fordfestiva.com and saw a post showing how to install a short shifter for a Civic. Also redid all of the shift bushings with firmer nylon instead of rubber bushings.
