Sooo smoooth.

Can you say Clean or what?

Looks hella nice man, cant wait for the finished product.

i have a feeling smoother sideskirts and rear would make the car look even cleaner.

Maybe the king sides and rear

WOW!! You sure got some vision and skills!!

Glad to see the step by step pics!! well done...




BTW, you should rename the title of your topic. it's not "yet another", but "the FIRST" in the US!!

Needless to say that it looks 10000000000000X better than the old one.

As for these who think it just looks better than any body kit, don't forget it is also ten times more durable, being made of OEM abs material.

I think that is probably the coolest RD front end ever, try and do the back too laugh.gif, I hate the little pointless vents in the back of an RD.

Mad props

This does look like it'd go killer with the king sides and rear. We've been having a hard time finding a good design for the front. Yikes, I just know this bumper is looking KILLER. Good Job!

Mad props for doing this yourself and taking excellent pictures for the members on the board.

Bumper looks really good on the RD2.

But it doesn't flow as nice with GTR sideskirts. Your car looked awesome with the new paint and GTR kit.

Blacktibs,

This Front bumper should be a MUST for your RD2 bumpers would flow well with the turby skirts aswell

Looks okay, but I wouldn't do it to mine.

One of the big problems being the first time you touch something with that bumper, or scrape the ground too hard/hit a cement parking block, all the FG will crack.

but he's barely using any fiberglass at all, which is the beautiful part. rivets and the glue he mentioned are wahts holding it together, fiberglass is just to cover things up. it's only in particular areas, and will move with that plastic section if he does hit something, and will most likely stay intact.
