Fabricating new bumper
Well guys ive decided to start making a mold out of my custom front bumper as soon as i get the materials and tools i need. If all goes well with the mold i will be able to make duplicates of my bumper for you guys. but im also thinking of making another one..not sure what exactly but i was thinking something like this......
PRELIMINARY NEW DESIGN
OLD DESIGN
i dunno. I like the new concept, but IMO i'd rather see it keep the dip in the top of the bumper like you're old one had, and as stock on all hatchies, and 86-87's.

well yeah im planning to keep the top part of the bumper stock with the dip....but below that will me the new design.Originally Posted by markmdz89hatch
i agree with mark , the dip in the middle keeps the "stock" look , if you going to do something like that why not try making something like the mugen from bumper?

I'd buy a bumper like your front one. It's badass. The new design is ok, but I like current setup. I can't figure that fiberglass crap out. plus nooone will sell me some damn foam,lol Keep up good work man

i would so be down for the new one with a dip
If I still have my 3gee by the time this happens I would definitely consider getting one with the dip.

I like the new concept. Anything like the xenon and mugen would look good.
sign me up for one of the 1st prototype. id pay the better part of 450-500 shipped to me if it help you make me one. if the new designs flow with the angle of the gri;ll id prefer that one but since im turbo and the fmic needs space and air the 1st pic looks more feasable. just biuld one and sell it to me
I like the second one minus the dip in the center.

word i think the dip flows much better with the car

looks like you got that front bumpoer off a 3g prelude,
The more I look at it. The more the dip grows on me. Maybe its just that Ive never had a Hatchie. Go for the dip.

i like the dip.. but just out of curiosity.. if you were to make em then sell them.. how much would you sell them for?
thanks
sp.
one day I'll return.
yeah i got the concept from a 3rd gen prelude but i will be building it from scratch and slightly modifiying it to fit the accord better. the only thing is it will eliminate the front bumper signals...and not sure what size rectangle would be best to fit some nice fogs...any suggestions?

do you want clear ones or yellow ones?
i say fogs with turn signals in them

make it large enough to house the factory jdm flip tops for those of us that want them one day. that or just keep it as the bottom pic looks and try to get the lower airdams to point towards the brakes
If not for the "dip" you could use bumpers off several other cars anyway.
I like the first one but without so much cow catcher. It will be a fun project regardless of the style though.
is say for the foam mabye try the insulating foam used for the siding from houses , it would be a decent material to make a mold out of

i like the top, newer design, but it's a bit too extreme for me
i'd like a more mild body kit, maybe just a really nice lip
im not sure but i think yellow ones would look good.
i would need someone that actually has them to measure them so i can make the hole slightly bigger for them to fit right.
looks good maing
