for anyone that wants to know why you don't peroxide rpm parts, here ya go. :roll: :evil:

the arm on the left is far worse than the right, but these were the new, minty white arms i just put on the car the other night. my last old school translucent bumper too.

i'm going to guess that some peroxide was still working it's way back out of the front bulkhead, or i simply didn't rinse it off good enough. either way, it blows. it looks even worse in person.

This is a really cool build. That sucks that the white is not so white now on the front but I don't think it looks that bad.

thats sad cause the build looks all new besides the arm issue. what about die? are the arms different then the new black rpm arms? i forgot if the "worlds" front end had stock arm spacing and different bulkhead or 10t bulkhead with different arms, or its all different?

the worlds arms are different than the black team arms that are currently available. they're longer, that's why you have to use the narrow bulkhead.

when the peroxide trick came to light around here, i tried an old rpm white bumper to see what would happen. it turned the color of pickle juice. just like these parts are doing. so, i just let it sit on the window sill in my kitchen to air out and catch some occasional rays. after a few months, the color had worked it's way back out....... for the most part. we'll see if these do the same.

i had to boil the parts about 3-4 times until the peroxide would stop coming out of the bulkhead and turning the arms green. they look good now, but not quite as nice as the rears.
