Hey just wondering if some of you can give me some help on a new front bumper.

Rick has not got back to me after 2 months about a front Lip i wanted so I am looking for a bumper that will give me MORE ground clearance and match in with the rest of the car.

I need more clearance because in the pic below is with eibach springs. I now have the kspec full coilover suspension and I have the car about Inch an half lower .

Please list any suggestions you might have. (raising the car back up is out of the question, I like it SLAMMED)

Here is a pic of my Tib.

Thanks

 

You kind of contradict yourself. You say you like it slammed, yet you want ground clearance. That makes no sense at all. Raise it back up an inch and a half to the ground clearance that was before, and you won't scrape. You go to a show, you "slam" it or whatever back to the ground. :roll:

Getting a higher bumper won't look right no matter what you do. If its 2 inches further up, it won't line up with the skirts and rear, and judges do notice that stuff.

 

First of all Not worried about car show judges.

Sedcond, I am not looking for 1-2 FEET of ground clearance just an additional 2-2.5 inches .

Yes I agree with you about it not looking right with a higher bumper. But if its only 2 inches or so higher it wont be so noticible because i want to have the front of the car about .25-.50 inches lower in the front .

Any other suggestions laugh.gif

 

Hmmm.... there aren't too many options that I know of for RD2 tibbies. Veilside is out of the question... The HG2 thingey is downright ugly but it is a lip kit. If you want to see its ugliness go to importshark.com. Probably ask Redz to see if he can get anything in from Korea even though they hate dealing with body kits I think.

 

Zefiro Turbo

 

Gary, Rick brought one GT - Tech lip over here for Hanguk. But he hasn't posted here for a while.

I think he got it shipped with the Zefiro GB.

 

Gary,

Which rims are those?

Very very nice car by the way!!

 

Nice car Gary!

Why don't you just get a body-shop to modify the one you've got?

Your car's got a nice overall look that I think would be hard to beat by mixing & matching kit parts... IMO you'll end up with something weird looking if you go Zefiro with the Club GTR side-skirts...

Come to think of it, Tibbychick's got exactly that (well, an RD1 with Zefiro front with Club GTR skirts) but can get away with it 'cos her car is black... Yours is bright orange & such a color, I believe, will exaserbate every minor imperfection.

Just my .02

 

Your car looks good the way it is. If I were you, I would leave it like it is and just drive carefully.
