Personally on a RD, i really like the top half of the front bumper off a RD1, then mated with a RD2 half way down!!!



It is just sex of a bumper!!!

Looks like it could be a couple of different kits molded to an RD2 bumper. Check out this thread to see other kits...

the kit on the red car is NOT the kit on the one getting the body work done.. its similar though.



would be WAAYYYYYYYYYYY to much modification to get it looking like the one on the red car..



on that note, i've never seen that kit before..



the closest thing to that kit would be the cuda II plus utilizing a stock style opening between the headlights and removing the center bar...







this ^^ and then add a 'grill' opening like the stock one without the H symbol

he was an idiot for buying it-...



yes he ran it further into the ground-...



he came on a few times since he had bought it-... did you guys ever figure out that tranny leak?



i think that red tib is ugly-... my guess is it's some kinda custom chop (look at the headlights and notice how they're recessed a couple of inches into the front bumper) lol @ the sti scoop in the hood

@Turbosocks i think u got it, good call man!



i think the dude chopped the top/middle of the headlights off the Cuda II Kit... then molded the modified cuda II to the front of a modified RD2 Bumper.

chopped the grille and a few other bits n pieces lol

i think that cuz the resemblance of course, and cuz where the fender meets the quarterpanel looks a bit "Fat" and it looks a little longer than most kits, like veilside kit long

what do you guys think?



@Visionz i looked up and down that list and couldnt find one that looked close enough.

thats where i got the Linetech pic that "Random" suggested, thanks tho,

How did the selling of ur car go??



@01steve everybodys got their own opinion i guess... i dont think the bit in the hood is a scoop however, i think it looks more like a vent to get rid of hot air near the headers or turbo, if its more than just decoration of course haha
