Had some time today so I thought I'd play with it a little bit. It fits on there perfectly and looks right, but the only problems is where to bolt it down at. I'll have to find my own way to bolt it on, right now it's being held on by 3 zip ties. Here's a couple pics

Need to also find a way to get some blinkers on there.

[blazin3gen]

is that stock? that looks nice but yea u gotta find a way to get some blinkers what if u use the teg blinkers and tap into the accord blinker wires

[i.c.]

looks sweet dude, get it on there permanetly

[kicker1_solo]

It's the R34 front, I need blinkers and also need some mesh....it looks nasty without it.

[89AccordLvr]

i think you need to put the other missing parts on there first before we can really judge how it looks but im liking what i see so far, what cuts did your do

[A20A1]

lookin good... yeah the mess grill would look nice... and then for a nice finishing center peice a front mount intercooler... with turbo of course. :D

[kicker1_solo]

got my corner lights on, they aren't actually that bad looking and I think I might even keep them there and not shave them. I need to figure something out for front blinkers though.

Cut that off with my dremel and now I will have to fill it in with fiberglass. Other than that, it slid right on.

[MrBen]

Looks good... can you get a pic so we can see the bottom line? As in, so we can see how the bottom of the bumper matches up to the bottom of the car.

As in, so we can see how the bottom of the bumper matches up to the bottom of the car. lol, yeah, I'll do that after we get things bolted on. Like I said, it's only held on by 3 zip ties so it won't stay ligned up like I want it to. Tomorrow night it should be done, so I'll be sure to have pics up sunday morning.

[Low Tek]

prolly have to have the other pieces, like some kinda side skirts and then a bumper

hope not though

[Vinny]

Can't wait to see it when yer done, so far it looks pretty awesome

[Hash_man_Se_i]

I agree, I think it looks wicked so far, I was skeptical at first, but now that I see it on there, it looks sweeeet! Although I want to see the grille and other stuff on there to see how all the lines work together.

[DeeJay]

looks good keep it up

Well I'm hoping to get side skirts and a rear bumper, just have to find them for a decent price. I want black widow sides and rear :)

[kicker1_solo]

[Low Tek]

not bad

you coupe and 4 door guys have it easy... us hatchies have to be picky, cause the back bumper is different

but I do think the front bumper would tight as hell on my hatch...

hmm

[kicker1_solo]

Originally posted by Low Tek

hmm If you're looking for one, check out www.g2ic.com (90-93 teg board) and you can find them on there for like $75 bucks for a used one, lots of NW sellers too.

[A20A1]

I never bothered hooking up my blue lights in my H4 conversions... but that looks pretty cool. I might give it a shot.

[markmdz89hatch]

kicker, can I see a better close-up shot of the corner of the kit? Ive seen a few 2gteg bumpers on 3G's so far, and every one I've seen the corner lights overhang the bumper just on the corner, but it doesn't look like it's doing that on yours. Def. the best 2Gteg front I've seen so far. Good luck with the project.

As for the blinker issue, why not install side markers on the fender, shave the whole corner lens' off and build a solid sheet to fill where the corner was. Then just install a small lens/housing in the front bumper in the top slot on each side.

I think that would look sick as hell if you did it that way. Oh well, just IMO.

[TJ89Accord]

Wow, that really does look better than the other ones that Ive seen. It doesnt look like the corner lights overlap at all. MORE PICS!!! lol...

tim

[89AccordLvr]

so all u cut is the center piece and that it nothin else... looks real nice is how much is that bumper or where u get it from

[guaynabo89]

How about a pic with the lights down and from the top of the bumper to see how it matches up?

[kicker1_solo]

The blinkers corner lenses were a big concern of mine, I did not want them to hang over at all. So I was planning on shaving them and putting a side marker down on the fender, but once I got it on and looked at it I had second thoughts cause it's not that bad. I'd rather do as little body work as possible right now, but I might shave them later. I need a new driver's side fender, so maybe I'll do it after I get that.

And I'll get a pic with the lights down after I cut a little more on it. I need to cut out a little bit on each side so the lights will go down. They will go down right now, but I can't have the light covers on. So I'll cut it a bit, get the light covers on, and then get some pics.

[kicker1_solo]

Originally posted by 89AccordLvr

But for the lights to go down with the light covers on, I will need to cut a little more. I found that bumper on www.g2ic.com in the classifieds section. A guy that lives about 4 hours from me had it for sale for $100. I had some door panels that he wanted so I met him half way and gave him the door panels and $30 for the bumper. Drove it home with it hanging out my window. :D

[kicker1_solo]

Great new guys. I found a guy that has an extra rear bumper from his 4th gen accord and it's a black widow, the exact one that I want. It's just sitting in his backyard, never even been painted. He wants it gone so he said he'd give it to me for $10 plus shipping, awesome deal.

Anyways, I'm off to the shop, pics when I get back.

[iloveJDMblackrims69]

sweet man!!! calling me mr. drug dealer??!!! lol.... keep up the nice work!

[Low Tek]

damn.. you got it goin on... lol

what can us hatch guys do, since the rear bumpers are so different??

[kicker1_solo]

[kicker1_solo]

Update: Didn't have time to work on my car much. :( Ran into a few problems with a customer's car and didn't have time for mine. I got some more of the bumper cut out so my lights can close with the light covers on. The only thing left is bolting it on.

[PortugalFocus]

looks great...... the R34 looks really nice...... I like the Octane more myself.... but it looks kickass

Hey bro! that's the same bumper i got. yeah it does fit good and it looks nice so far. i had to make custom brackets to hold it up on there. good thing the bodyshop is next to a metal fabricating shop. oh, don't worry about the blinkers...the sidemarkers are blinkers too. those are good enough for me. i like a clean look for the front. nice to see your project going well. mine is almost done also. just a week or so more to go. :super:

[Low Tek]

damn.... makin me jealous

Still haven't worked on it (besides the 10 minutes sat. night) but I thought I'd post a couple more pics

[toastyghost]

that's one of the few rides i've seen with just a front bumper and the lines look good.. well played, sir. it could use a lip on the back but even without, it still looks fine.

Well, seeing how one will fit that car.....they (all 90-93 teg bumpers) should all be the same shape and size, right?

[BITESIZE]

Can't you just drill new holes in the bumper and make it fit?

[HostileJava]

With mine It looks like I'm going to be making custom mounts with steel sheets and washers :D

[kicker1_solo]

Originally posted by HostileJava

[HostileJava]

I took apart the old bumper mount, I had to remove some peice from it and then I bolted it back on. I now need to prop it up a bit and make some new bolt holes for steel plates and washers, I'll take pics of the progress and post them when I'm done. I think this is alot easier to do then worrying about molding the kit to fit. I had to make a few cuts and things but almost all of the cuts and brackets and everthing will be hidden so they don't need to look perfect.

[guaynabo89]

kicker1_solo & hostilejava:


Either of you guys think that if you get the metal bumper off a teg and mount it to the Accord you might not have to do all these custom brackets?

If you could just use the metal bumper frame itself then the kit would bolt up cause all the wholes would be in the right place. Plus you could use the 90-93 teg bumper turm signals instead of trying to adapt the Accord ones to the teg bumper cover.


It might be less work too on just modyfing to the bumper mounts instead of all these bumper cover mounting points.


Just an idea I wanted to throw out there to you guys to see if it would work.:)

[HostileJava]

Might work, I'd have to see one, I guess I'll be taking a trip out to the junkyard. Unless maurice is getting that newer bumper, then I'll just steal his old one :D

[chrysler kid]

custom bracketts? like was previously stated why not just drill holes in the bumper. to fix the gap in the grill you should get down with fiberglass. use a piece of cardboard to make a sturdy prop to give the fiberglass sheets form. i dont think you need to make bracketts, just drill new holes from the bumper into the fender. i dont see a problem with zipties holding the bumper on. most japanese drift cars bumpers are held on with zipties to minimize damage. so the bumper falls off preventing cracking and further damage. if you have a question about fiber glass i have a write up on it for ya. contact me on aim: chrysler 0kid or pm. i dont really check this site much tho


*****ALSO********* post up the website you bought the front bumper from. your bumper has got to be the best bumper to buy for a 3rd gen acord :pimp:

I've been thinking about drilling new holes in mine and using certs in the bumper to hold the screws. Haven't worked on it much lately though lol

[87AccordLXsdn]

i went on that teg site and theres a guy about 40 min away selling the same bumper you got for 200, if my car was a diff. color and i actually had 200 to blow, i would buy it in a second, your car looks really good man

[Low Tek]

$200 damn that is a decent deal... you can always change the color...

Hey Kicker, I have 3rd den teg BW side skirts if you want to experiment with them. I can get deminsions for you too. I'm selling them for $50+shipping (But I might cut ya a deal)

Give me a few months, I'll put the money together, and my car will be real nice, an ummm., I'm not a rice burner. When I'm done with my car, its going to be faster then yours is(guaranteed).

[HostileJava]

Have you ever tried to fit them up to a 3g before? I'd really like to see it on a car before I go ahead.

[guaynabo89]

They might fit your hatch.(sideskirts)

You guys should take meausurements of the sideskirts and the hatch and see how close they are.

[HostileJava]

Good idea, could you please post measurements of the side skirts FrankGSR and move the discussion to here:

Half of the tread on the tire goes that way, on the other side it goes the opposite way, they're non directional....
