where did you get that bumper? looks awesome.

HostileJava
11-22-2002, 05:58 AM
The front bumper is from the kalimari kit or however you say it, I got it from Erebuni. Grant, I do have a 3geez sticker on my car, it is on the opposite side of the wardriver sticker.

I think it may have been like 250$ with shipping I don't really remember though. Only took like 5 days to get it.

um nice rims u put on there. i like that front bumper. my question is what did u do with the original rims. those are kinda hard to find. i mean they arent too common. i am crazy about original rims.

Looking good! I would change the sig if it's the Erebuni bumper. Kalamari is like the fried squid appetizer. And Kaminari isn't Erebuni.
HostileJava
11-23-2002, 06:41 AM
Well from what I understood, It is the Kalamari bumper but I ordered it from erebuni. Maybe that's not right, I don't know.

The original Rims are in my garage in garbage bags with almost brand new tires on them.

i looked it up info on the bumper. The kaminari front for the 86-87 kinda looks like that but im almost positive thats the erebuni front. Anyway it rox and i wanna do that to my car cept paint it black.
Cobraman15
11-23-2002, 05:25 PM
This may sound dumb but did you have to remove your old bumper to put the front on?

thas a Kaminari. the ebruni and kaminari look the same but thats the Kaminari!

I'm sure Hostilejava's is the Erebuni. The Kaminari is a bit different (it slopes in towards the bottom and then has a flat piece that sticks out).
Here's the Kaminari for 86-87

I'm not sure what you mean but Hostile's looks just like the Erebuni 291.
Coroncho80
11-23-2002, 07:40 PM
No offence yasu, but to me it look like a Kaminari for 86-87.
YK86
11-23-2002, 08:22 PM
LOL. Not offended. Here is the part that I feel is different from Hostile's and also why I believe it's the Erebuni. The corner of the Kaminari slopes in alot all the way down and then jutts out while Hostiles is sort of sloped in and half way down, it starts to slope back out. The bumper pics are at the same angle. I think you can only buy the Erebuni kits off their site while Kaminari are like Xenon and are sold at lots of online stores so hopefully, Hostile can clear this up LOL.

But on shop photos it's more simpless and ugly, where is true?

So, HostileJava... Can you say to us exactly WHERE you buy this bumper?
HostileJava
11-24-2002, 06:46 PM
I'm trying to find my receipt so I can clear this up.

Just put it right over top of the old one.
Cobraman15
11-24-2002, 07:04 PM
didn't you say you ordered it from erebuni? cuz i didn't find kaminari stuff erebuni. maybe i didn't look hard enough if there is kaminari stuff there.
HondaBoy
11-24-2002, 07:08 PM
im gonna say im pretty shur its the bumper on the green car.
HostileJava
11-24-2002, 07:17 PM
Ok, the part number on the invoice is 291FS and the invoice if from Erebuni. I can scan it and post it if you like.
Cobraman15
11-24-2002, 07:25 PM
did erebuni paint it for you?
HostileJava
11-24-2002, 07:32 PM
Nope, I took it to my local bodyshop and they repainted the whole front end.
YK86
11-24-2002, 08:06 PM
Haha! I won! (J/K).
Cobraman-You can only buy Erebuni stuff from Erebuni. Kaminari and Erebuni are two totally differerent companies.
Cobraman15
11-24-2002, 08:36 PM
i thought so. thnx for clearin that up. :)
HostileJava
11-24-2002, 08:41 PM
I don't think it would have worked really well, trying to get them to color match to my paint. I ordered paint a while ago that was supposed to be match to the color of my car from the paint code in the door and it was just a little to dark, enough to notice it though. It was just easier to have the body shop do it for me.

I think I'm going to post interior pics now, I have to see if I took pics of the interior of the car when I first got it.
