Painted the Optima Pro today.
It has been waiting for a spray of paint for more than four years.
I still have to paint the Optima, the Turbo and another Pro - but these are going to be as close to boxart as I can get them. That´ll take some practice

Now I´m wondering wether to apply plain Optima stickers or not.


I´d really like for someone to reproduce the original bumper and brace.

If the Optima Pro's bumper brace is the same as the regular & Turbo Optima's, then pargu2000 makes (or used to, anyway) an aluminum reproduction. I have a black one on one of my cars, it looks stock almost. I'm not sure if he's still in business but you could always try contacting him. His English isn't too hot, mind you.

I also wish someone repro'd the original bumpers...

The bumpers do come up on ePay every now and then.

The Pro is just a spiffed up Optima, so yes, the front brace is the same. As Coelacanth mentioned Pargu does make an aluminum version of the front brace. He has a direct website now (http://www.pargustore.com/) which is a little cheaper than buying from him through ebay (the ebay price has ebay fees built in).
