Can somebody tell me how this was done or how much a shop might charge to do a project like this (general idea or ballpark)? The GK bumper doesnt bolt right on so did they have to cut 2 bumpers in half and patch them together or was there a GK style bumper made already for RDs?

Since the GK is wider only one bumper is required to do this, but it wouldn't be a cheap project I'm sure.

probably cut in half, cut, trimmed, bondoed.

^what he said.



I wouldn't do it. I think it's just wrong to combine parts from predecessors or successors. You can't create a work of art and then make changes years later. If Michelangelo found out that Rubens did this, he would have punched him resulting in a depiction in one of Titian's paintings, gotten him expelled from the counter-reformed church, banned from Medici Italy, revoked from the Venetian School, disqualified from 16th century Baroque, and finally struck down with lightning by the one the only J.C.

i personally like the look and would jump at the chance to do the same to my RD1 to be honest..

tanc...that just looks so amazing and stock like. Love what you did with the hood to make the headlights have a pissed off look.

When I get around to collecting an RD1, I'll have a hard time between this or the F2 Evo bumper.

Very nice.

Surely there wouldn't actually be any similarity between the RD1 and GK bumper hardware. It may as well be a bumper off a grand am at this point.





*edit* Not to say that's a bad thing, but it'd be an entirely custom job.

You would have to cut both bumpers horizontally in the middle. Take the top part of the RD bumper, and lower part of the GK and mold them together down the center. That way you have a perfect fitting bumper since it would utilize all of the OEM RD hardware and top part of the bumper. Its not really that hard and basically just like molding anything else together to your car.
