I used to have some pictures saved of some SNs that had turf replacing the front bumper. Does anyone have any pictures? I am thinking of doing this on my new square project.

I like that- I have never seen it over the factory bumper. Did you use regular contact cement?

Congrats on the skis. Thats actually what I'm in the process of doing. WhAT type of cement?
I did it too with some old used turf I had laying around. Mine was only temporary but it held up fine for about 2 months before ripping the entire ski apart for paint. I just used regular contact cement, heat, and a rubber mallet. There's no need to cut the turf, just mold it.

How did you cut the piece? Was it a straight edge on the side closest to the pole?

bump, it didnt turn out too great, but im not redoing it. ill wait till it falls off, if it ever does
I was very half @ssed about it. I took some heat and laid the piece into position using the top line (plastic nose cover) as my original guide to make sure I had a piece big enough. I just used a straight line across the top...no need to get fancy there. Then once I had a basic form in the turf, I glued everything up and worked one side at a time. Lots of heat, leather gloves to hold it in place, and a rubber mallet. When I finished, I just trimmed all excess turf at the bond line.
