99 3000gt style bumper

[sccrbrandon4788]

The 3000GT bumper has a lot of similarities to the 2GB's. Eliminate the divider between the fog light and the duct and you've basically have it. Obviously you would want to add material to give it a finished look, like the air duct hole. Adding fiberglass (or whatever people use to build onto bumpers) around the center opening would give that extra depth the 3000GT has that our cars don't. I'm no fabricator, just my .02

I like it. I could build one out of a gb. It wouldn't be to hard just take some time and I can get new bumbers. For around a $100.

I seriously think the 3kgt front is one of the BEST (if not the best) fronts ever on a car. I've thought about this for a while actually for an eclipse. But after that photoshop, I think I'll reconsider. The only way I can see it working very well is if the front lights were changed as well. But I'm sure once someone mocks up a photoshop of that, it'll lead to me saying "Only way I can see it working is if the back was changed as well" until finally, you might as well have a 3kgt .

There was an absolute perfect condition 99 3k here for 2500, checked it out and right before i was going to buy it, someone else did. But the easiest way would be customizing our stock bumpers to the 3k style. But i wouldnt recommend it unless you have extra bumpers on the side.

Gofers sketch looks kinda like a supra front end.

HAHAHAHA!!!! I remember on 3si when everyone was doing the different front ends this was one of the styles. They also did it with a 2010 eclipse front end too. Nice find. I considered doing this with my VR4 but then I woke up .

Heres the 2g with an evo 10 front end. Ive never liked the black bar going across the middle on the new generation mitsus, its too big or something.

 

[Nicklepage1010]

Looks like a fiat with down syndrome.

 

[JOLTY TacoMan]

Thats just one of the renders. The real outcome of the evo x eclipse was hideous

Looks good. Someone photoshop it onto a 1g! I've always wanted to put a 3k front end on a 1g.

I second that,i try to imagine it lookin at my car.I think it would look sic!

 

[spyderdrifter]

God I hate Mitsu's new design style. The mid to late '90s was still the best I think. That 3kgt doesn't look too bad with that from though.

What do you think about this project car ?

I like the front end of Mitsu's RA Concept, but that's about it. And the idea that its got a 2.0 turbo I4 (diesel even) and AWD.

 

[ohTONYoh]

I have a feeling they dont want to bring back the 3k is because they are afraid that they would ruin it.

makes me think of a miata

To make that bumper fit it would need to be cut as the body for a 3k is about 73 inches wide and the 2g eclipse is 68.5 inches. besides the cut for the lights and all the other differences to have to chop a $400 bumper that is already hard to find due to 3k owners buying them up for 99 conversions makes no sense to me personally. if your doing it for looks a 2gb talon bumper looks better than this would and for performance a cut stock bumper will actually be better as the 99 bumpers opening isnt as big as it looks. i thought the same thing till i did a 99 bumper on my 3k

That and the fact that the 2GB Eclipse is already pretty 3kGT-esque.

It also reminds me of the late 90s-early 2000 Camaros. Catfish, hooo!

I like them all, by the way. The 2Gb and 3kGT are just too similar for me to be able to justify messing with either one. The Evo X bumpers are quite interesting on DSMs though. Looks slicker on a 2G, makes the 1G look like a box (rather than the wedge it is, ) but it's still cool.

Im trying to get a 2gb talon front, but i cant find them anywhere
