Opinions on just front bumper

[jayman089]

How do you guys think the Buddy Club 2 bumper would look with 97-99 stock side skirts and rear bumper? Could I get away with just the front bumper or would I have to grab a whole kit? If I did get it I would be buying it from here : http://krazykustomzonline.com/product_info.php?cPath=1188_1122_512_513_600_601&products_id=7295

Honest opinions welcome, and I think I dont want to stay with the stock 2gb bumper, I want to switch it up a bit.

In my opinion it will look good as long as its not lower then the side skirts. But the bumper looks really good. I would reccomend side skirts though.

I think that the sides (being a little square-shaped pockets) wouldn't match the round
(L-shaped) corner edges of the side skirts.

I would change up the side skirts and you won't really know for sure if the front bumper will line up with the side skirts...You could get away with leaving the back stock but the sides will at least need to line up with the front. That's my 2cents

what color is your car? maybe just do a carbon fiber front lip. imo the bumper your looking at there looks like the stock one pretty much with a lip, just my opinion.

My car is that silver pearl color. The reason I'm replacing the bumper is because the previous owner f-ed up the bumper pretty bad and its all cracked on the bottom in like 4 places. So you guys think I can get away with just the bumper and side skirts? Which skirts would you reccomend?

Well to be honest you are probably going to spend the same amount of money, or close to, trying to buy just the front and side skirts or getting a whole kit. You should check into that and see what the price difference is because I deal in body kits, well when people call me to order them, and there is usually big discounts on the whole kit. Check that out before you order and make sure you couldnt get the full kit for the same price.

I mean I know I'm going to end up getting ripped off when buying everything seperately but I want to buy the front bumper from the place listed above so it won't just shatter like fiberglass would. You guys think that place listed above would combine shipping or like give me a discount if i substutued that flex fiber front bumper instead of a regular fiberglass bumper from another whole kit? hope that made sense

You would have to discuss that with them. Since we are throwing around opinions, (pulls out two pennies) my opinion would be for you to just get GS-T/X side skirts. I think 2Gs are gorgeous the way they are. But that's just me. If your heart is set on this front bumper, I'd get the whole kit.

 

[jayman089]

Right now, the company I might order from is quoting me $600 for the whole Buddy Club 2 kit in that flex fiber material (if any of you guy have read up on it on their website). I'm checking with them now to see if there is a possibility of combining shipping on the kit because the sales rep dude said I would have to add all the parts to my cart seperately then write a comment with my order that he quoted me $600 for the whole kit.

 

[jayman089]

Actually, have any of you guys had experience with this company or material called "flex fiber"? They seem like a trustable company but I don't want to end up getting ripped off.

They seem like a good company, and flex fiber sounds better then fiberglass. As for the s&h, its probably going to be about the same amount of $$$ if they are ship together or individually, its based on size and/or weight.

 

[sk8shorty01]

The shipping will be about 150$ thats what just about every company charges for a body kit shipment now. And so you know if you can find a friend to order one at the same time your shipping will be the same price or very close with both kits coming together. So if you split the shipping that would cost you like 80 each rather than 150 or 160. Be much better that way.

 

[jayman089]

Alright, the sales rep quoted me 675 total for the whole kit in "flex fiber" Any input, should I go for it? Has anyone had any experience with the company or the material?

 

[sk8shorty01]

Is that including shipping? If so that is not to bad of a price. I believe that kit in regular fiberglass is around 650$ so its relatively close.

 

[jayman089]

Yea, thats including shipping for the whole kit. Should I jump on it?

 

[macgsx]

Im not one for body kits mainly because i think the stock body is sexy but that kit looks alright and the price is nice to. If your adiment about getting a kit i would go for it.
