custom bumper progress...

[SUBBIEEDUDE!]

since my bumper has about 2 huge cracks in it, ive decided to fix the cracks as well as make the mouth of the bumper bigger. reason why i want the mouth so big is because 80% of the time i have a front mount setup and the old bumper mouth just wasnt cutting it. heres my progress. i will update as i make progres


before: (not mine)

Props... Looks pretty sick!

[SUBBIEEDUDE!]

thanks guys. how do you feel about canards? (the little fins aided to help downforce) i was thinking of designing some

[BigWillieStyles]

Canards would look great on a BE/BH. There is a kit floating around on yahoo auctions on a BE that looks great. But to make it suit the car, I reckon you would the car lowered first.

ive hit a road block. tuesday i got a in a horrible snowboarding accident. lol got med flown to mass general and have been here since. i really wish i knew what happend. i do know it left me with a laceration in one of my kidneys, a messed up knee, a fuckd up face, and a 2 week vacation off from everthing =] so i got alot of stuff to do on my car aha

as for the canards, i might design some but i mostly likely wont use them. idk if im liking that idea as much

[Huffer]

Glad to hear you're ok! No idea how you ended up there, really? Did you hit a tree or something?

[SUBBIEEDUDE!]

well from what my friend told me since i was unconscious for a bit, was that i went off two jumps baack to back. but lost my balance off the second jump. which put me into a backflip. these werent your ordinary terrain park jumps either. both jumps were like 20 ft booters. but im really thankfull to be here right now. scary thing waking up in a hospistal

[JunkerXL]

glad you're ok

You need a bigger fmic now!!!
Looks good, I think some JDM fogs would perfectly set it off too!

[SUBBIEEDUDE!]

ahah deffinately need a bigger fmic, but that last on the priority list. i need to buy a set of arp head studs, cometic head gaskets and another clutch first. after that bigger fmic will be on order =]

When I had a 26x12x2.5 FMIC there was no room for the fogs, I ha to cut the whole back of them out and just leave the lenses.

Bumper looks great, I wanted to try something similar but never had a spare bumper. Nice job!

[anothernord]

I personally like being able to see the endtanks of FMIC's. Looks awesome BTW!

[HeresMyMind]

am i missing something, or is the fmic a decoration thing only. i see a stock air box on top haha

-B

[SUBBIEEDUDE!]

lol im running stock right now cuz i spun some bearings on my previous motor. but i rebuilt it with some better bearings this time. just gotta wait till schools out so i can swap her in. then the fmic will be functional. its not actually on there now. i just put it in my bumper to see how it would look. haha
