1gb front bumper modding project

[Phil1320]

If you make one for a 1ga GSX I'll buy it.

Agreed looks killer

Thats lookin really good so far! Would be cool if it had an Evo VIII bumper touch to it and have the two vent style cutouts instead of the one big one.... or take that piece that you cut out of the bumper and have a carbon fiber mold made with some kind of vent cutouts...... just some ideas...

oh by the way, nice 350Z , I have a red 06 with black wheels aswell...

The 1ga is for pop up headlights and The top of the bumper goes straight across.

Finaly had time today to play with the bumper.
Finished roughing out the final shape using 40 grit paper.
Next should be 80 grit.

Coming along quite nicely. Still need the real question answered tho. How is she going to hold up over time, with some road abuse. I'm trying to be patient tho. Only time will tell. Either way, LOVE the new look. Great work and keep it up man!

Will be making a mold and making fiberglass versions.

O and this bumper I've been working on has been droped and twisted 3 to 4 times while moving from place to place. Im not worried about it.

Again, I just want a 1ga version!

I've talked with my partner in crime and we will be making one for the 1ga after this project.

Hallelluia!!

You should take the diagonals in the opening and blend it into your cut out better. Make it look more factory like that.

Some will like it. Some won't. Plus it's not finished.

Look through all the posts. That's what it will look like only it will fit a 1ga

As far as it looking like a huge chin hanging down on the front of the car. It looks the same as my stock Talon bumper compaired to my side view. I think it looks awsome. You could put some modest and simple looking sideskirts and this would be perfect. Kind of like how I'm putting on the 95 twisty Talon side skirts on mine to acomplish the same thing.

 

[KyDSM]

Its looking pretty good. Can't wait to see the finish product.

 

[Bud92gsx]

I know it looks soo great.I would love it, if it was a 1gb eclipse smiley bumper, just extended.

 

[johnovision27]

Wow, I'm impressed!

 

[CLeMMeR]

Can't wait to see it finished! Nice work
