Since I'm stuck with a one piece front clip on my mid year (unless I replace the whole clip with correct parts and repaint some or all of the car ) and lose originality judging points, can and should I consider adding the appropriate bonding strips to my car.
As they would serve no functional purpose, will I gain judging points ? As i read the Judging Manual a one piece front clip w/out bonding strips receive an 80% deduction while adding bonding strips would reduce the loss to 50% ?.
Lastly, is the addition a do it yourself project ? Attachement is accomplised by applying the correct adhesive and then painted as appropriate ? If it is a do it yourself project, it might make economical sense. Paying someone to do it will probably drive the cost skyward and the point value per dollar way down ?
Still looking for that elusive Top Flight and trying to figure out how to get there from low 90's .
Thanks in advance.
