I think you'd have better luck making a custom kit with fiberglass than making that work on an rd1.

LOL.. spend the money and time to put it on your car and when it doesn't flow, you will wish you took everyones advice..

its MUCH more square than the stock GK II bumper..



openings are even rounded and not squared.. and with ABS like i said you can kinda conform it to a shape, unlike FG..

and look at the sides and rear of your 'poison' kit.. all squared off.. no curves..

not saying it wont look decent, but for the 100's of hours of work and money to get it on the car, its not worth it, unless you really want it.

you would have better luck getting some foam core, overlaying it on your car, carving out a kit you like, and overlaying it in FG.

trust me when i say as a body man, it wont look good, it WILL take tons of mods just to get it to fit not to mention to make it look good. pur cars are shapely an small like a nice looking woman, where the gk's are boxy, bigger, and straighter like some dude. you would have to shave tons off the kit itself just to make it the righ size. just please trust us with our knowledge an vast experience on here when we try to let you kno its just not worth it, (like buying from flyryde, sfr, etc) that itss just not a good idea. not trying to be an ass just trying to be honest

don't be a cheap ass and bite the bullet cause you will just be wasting your 100 bucks. !00 bucks may not be much to throw away but I'm speaking from direct recent experience with shit quality bumpers and wasted money.

Spend the money on what you really want and not what you can get...or send me 100 bucks and I will send you a nice photochop of the poison kit on your RD so you can still have the same dumbass dream lmao.gif

lol someone shit in your cherrios.. lmao.gif

but yeah, dont even bother lookin at it.

j3, got the last lip kit from erebuni as far as i know. good thing about that kit.. fits perfect AND is made from ABS.. he molded the front lip in, and it looks much better than in that pic.

but if they still have it, you should be able to get it really cheap.. mold that front lip, throw a HD lip on it, so it match's the sides and you will be golden.

i just called erebuni and they have them in stock, i did not ask how many and right now they are going for 149 and shipped to WI would be 200...so add another hundred to your that hundred you were going to spend on a body kit that would look ugly IMO on the rd and get this one and if you need to see how it looks molded and stuff look at J3 thread about it
