Octane front bumper/R34 front bumper

[cory51191]

Okay so I'm looking at CF hoods and front bumpers that I'll eventually get for my car after a few engine mods.

I came across one that I really like (called "R34" or "Octane") but there is 2 types of it, or it seems so.
I like the "Type 2" way better because its opened up more and has round edges between the headlights. The "type 1" has a square kind of design between the headlights (but type 1 has the side lights opening for the front bumper, type 2 does not). Is there another name for the "Type 2" or is it just a different company?

CF hood yes.... bumper no.... in other words CF = .... bumper =

I know people call it "ricer" blah blah or whatever. I thought the same thing but I've always liked the R34 style front bumper and I have also had my eye on an Evo style CF hood or an Invader style CF hood. I saw a picture with the Invader CF hood and the R34 bumper and it looks AMAZING. I absolutely love the way it looks.... heres a pic.....

It actually looks like they are supposed to go together with the way the hood's slope continues down with the bumper... The only thing this guy is missing is a FMIC to show off in that nice opening

You won't find much love for body kits here. Don't take too much offense to it, it's just that people like the stock body style.

I would actually have to agree in this situation. That hood and bumper look great together.

I don't have love for body KITS, I like the front bumper style of the R34, I don't like different side skirts and I HATE different rear bumpers. I was actually just going to cut open the stock front bumper if it was 97-99. But then I saw a picture with the hood and bumper I like.... and BAM! I wanna follow through with it. I'm not gonna be "show > go". Like I said, gonna do some other mods first . It will be like "go > or = show"

the type 2 doesn't look to bad, but stock always looks the best

The way i look at it just do what you want because at the end of the day it is your car and good luck with your build

Leave the R34 look to the R34's. CF parts are always a good idea though.

 

[cory51191]

If I get a 95-96 then I'm going to do the bumper swap so I can put 97-99 headlights in but if I get a 97-99 I'm just going to get the CF hood and cut the bumper open a little more because I could always spend that $250 on something else other than a bumper.

the only thing i can say about this is fiberglass sucks! I had a good budy who bought the r34 front off E.D a couple of years ago and it looked great for the first couple months but they dont take much to get fouled up ! oem is much more durable.,

 

[brian9397gsx]

that is probably the least ugly after market bumper i have seen heck its not bad. to bad it has the side vents i dont really like that part and the fact its fiberglass would have me shopping for an oem. but i agree its not bad

Body kit is not ricey imo, as long as it look professional. I would just get the cf hood and keep stock bumper and they have a lip for it also.
