This is the new front bumper. thanks to caleb for selling it to me. The new one should be in today or tomorrow. when I get the new back bumper I will post pictures of that one too.
* oh yeah that is the custom 87 lip. i get lots of compliments and people always ask me where I bought it! hahahahaha
My opinion doesn't matter of course, but i say lose the lip
I like it, I must not have been paying attention before but where did the lip come from?
thats a damn nice looking front bumper! the 'lip' is simply the top of another OEM bumper that was hacked off and reattached. pretty sweet IMO. It looks even better in real life.
Oh yeah, how the hell didn't I see that, I wonder how that would look on Bloodlusts Xenon Kit. I have 2 spare bumpers now :D
HAHA Like i need to be any lower than I am now.
I think you do :DQuote:

for my next picture, I will show off the new Brembo slotted rotors. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
damn, looks good man, u wanna make me a lip? ill pay u, i suck at that kinda stuff, ill pay u. hehe.
werd man he should put those into productions i want one too! lol
Nice, Mario, nice. Keep it up, man. I've always liked your taste...well, except for the cut springs when you first joined 3geez, but that's another story. :D
Mario looks sweet. I noticed you used some more of that paint on the lip looks nice and smooth. I will have to agree will Caleb, Marios car dosn't take good pictures, it look even better in person. :cheers:
it takes great speed shots though! hahaha. as for making those lips I suppose I could. its just hard to find a decent junk yard bumper. i looked for a couple months for mine and I still had to clean it up a bit.
great mario! Looks a lot better now that your car is painted and have a lip.
hmm, thats pretty inventive! not bad. i may think about that one. looks good to me.
Damn I might try that but with a different bumper.
And great job with the hood cowl!!! Looks fantastic!
I just got the rear bumper today and put it back on. its looks so sexy! I will probably work on the rear lip tonight and take pictures and have them up tomorrow!
Im a little disappointed with the cowl because the damn carb box hits the underside of the hood and it stress cracked some bondo. ERRR anyway so Im kinda looking for a CF hood now? anybody got one or know where I could get one ??
thanks for the comments
i believe it is www.kmodifiedracing.com but u'd need to look under "go fast parts" in the marketplace for sure...like $260...ok yeah thats the sight...go there^^^
its gonna be hard to find one with a cowl. You just need to go EFI maing! heh heh
I dont want one with a cowl. I think i'll just take it off if I get the CF hood. And I am getting around to EFI. i need the cabin harness
hey man, how are u making the rear lip?
here it is ladies. Back lip made from the top of another back bumper. Mario is the master of bumper frankensteins. lol.

the lip is off an 88 rear bumper. it is the bottom trim piece cut, flipped upside down, bolted back to the stock bumper using stock bolts and a few drilled holes, then cut and trimmed for dual exhaust. (later on) Hopefully better pictures will be coming soon!!!
Damn dude I was actually thinking of doing the exact same thing today!!! I was like hmm how would that look if I cut the bottom piece off the back bumper and flipped it up side down. I think that looks better than the lip I was going to put on the rear bumper. Thanks for confirming my idea I had today. Too bad I wasn't the first to think of it. Great minds think a like! It's just mines a little slower since I am constantly around brake cleaner and crap like that everyday.
excuses excuses! :tongue:Quote:

yea there is some pick and pulls here but then we would have to pull it our selfs and I'm not sure if we have time to do that. But we need an 86-87 harness to match with the parts, but I could adapt a 88-89 engine harness if it was absolutely needed.
Is there a difference in the harnesses for auto and manual? I will see if they have them and find out how much for you guys.
Justin/ Mario if you need me to run by the JY over let me know I have all day saturday. But Mario with all the accords in the JY in Redding there has to be one.
Yea there is a slight difference but I was able to work around it when I did my EFI swap.Quote:
