1G: best lookin 1g soon to be out.

kidtsi · 10-02-2010, 08:09 PM

My friend is doing this to his 1gen, he got the pic from here but this is how its gonna be when its done, exactly like this.
He is the best when it comes to custom fibrication, carbon fiber and shit like that.

hurricanecris24 · 10-02-2010, 08:13 PM

how bout the front end

kidtsi · 10-02-2010, 08:26 PM

1g guys would notice the difference.

Imback · 10-02-2010, 08:28 PM

The back looks good but the front looks nothing to special IMHO

hurricanecris24 · 10-02-2010, 08:30 PM

i dont think it goods well the front needs to be more round to flow

like i said 1g guys would notice the difference, lets say your 2ga bumper molded you your 2gb bottom.

kidtsi · 10-02-2010, 08:34 PM

he is thinking about this but i dont know.

EDIT: all of these are photoshop concepts he has done.

CPHunter · 10-02-2010, 09:18 PM

probably best 1ga. best ever i dunno. bold statement

kidtsi · 10-02-2010, 09:28 PM

haha it was just to call the attention, i think its pretty unique, defenitly better than the 2g evo x bumper.

Kreez · 10-02-2010, 09:41 PM

It seems that no one likes body kits here, but smart looking 1G all the same kidtsi, although the rear bumper looks a little strange without the license place groove.

And the 2G w/EVO bumper gets a lot of points for originality at the least. The stormtrooper 1G was pretty unique, if not a little weird.

TSimage · 10-02-2010, 09:41 PM

Eh. That's a bold statement to make. You'll find that within the DSM community, function>form. The only beauty we car about is under the hood lol, Especially 1g guys. We have all the fast/intimidating cars. We let the 2gs be the "cute" ones cause they're a bit too chubby.

well said!

Imback · 10-02-2010, 10:28 PM

. I don't see how you figure the 1g's are intimidating tho.

Kreez · 10-02-2010, 10:31 PM

Because they're like little Tasmanian devils, with their somewhat raised appearance and sharp edges.

kidtsi · 10-02-2010, 10:53 PM

I don't know but i love 1gens.

turbotalon1g · 10-04-2010, 08:51 AM

I was ready for some lame shit, but it actually looks pretty nice.
I'd like to see the back close up when its done.

yoshi_tony · 10-04-2010, 10:37 AM

that bumper looks good it....it like it a 40 year old got a face lift and an extreme make over and it looks 20 years younger...

in other words it gives it the looks of a newer model

I love the mods you don't notice right off.

FLASH1970 · 10-04-2010, 11:17 AM

The 1gb lower bumper looks ok on the 1ga. It takes some getting used to but not bad.

gofer · 10-04-2010, 11:29 AM

Maybe its because I'm a 2g DSM'r but I like the 1ga to 2gb front bumper conversion (with a different FMIC), I do like the rear and side PS of the car you posted above though it looks good. Technically you NEED a rear license plate and I'm not a fan of Honda squat on the back wheels...

Lol I'm with you on that one. I've never understood how the 1g owners feel that they are more manly simply because they don't have a curved shape.
Curves>angles 2g ftw

We'll see how he pulls off the bumper and flared fenders - I'm not sure the lines will look right on the wide fenders. In order for it to sit that low and be functional, he's going to have to address the suspension in a major way (or run skinny wheels, which will not look as good as the wide/deep versions in the photo), not to mention the inside seems in the rear fender. I like the look of the rear bumper cover, but most of us can't lose the license plate. It would be nice to see how he plans to solve that.

I've always liked the 1gb front bumper better, and have also thought about adding in the vertical fins to my 1ga bumper... still might try it. He should consider adding a chin spoiler to it.

I don't like the second option you posted.

importracr317 · 10-04-2010, 12:42 PM

I definitely like the rear and sides - definitely needs to be that low to pull off the overall "look", so he's got some suspension geometry modifications ahead of him.

What he does with the front will really make or break the car. Simple and clean is the way to go!

Tanro · 10-04-2010, 12:46 PM

Are the wheels supposed to have camber or are the fenders rolled out?

The front looks like it has the hood off a 1.8 with out the power bulge or something.

Carter_95RS · 10-04-2010, 12:54 PM

The rear bumper almost looks like those found on a 99-04 mustang, or atleast I think so. I like the idea but I think it'll be hard to get it to flow right, as chris said.

He have all that under control, actually if you notice those wide fenders are from another stock car, he is a certified body paint and custom fabrication dude.

He will post what he used from other cars, what need to be cut, suspension set up and all that when he's done.

Actually he cut another bumper and he is doing a lip "spoiler".

Actually he cut another bumper and he is doing a lip "spoiler" to make it flow with the rest.
