body kit question
I've been looking at doing a '99 conversion but thought differently when I saw this bumper.
Kinda looks similar to the '99 and not too ricey. I was wondering if anyone was rockin' this front and might be able to give me info on how far out the bumper sits over stock. I'm going for a turbo and thought this might give me some more clearance for the intercooler. I was also wondering if there was an underbody debris shield made for aftermarket kits or if i just have to cut and hack the stock one. Lastly, and I know this isnt tech, but does anyone have any better pics of what this bumper looks like? The pics on all the websites are crap or have shitty resolutions. THANKS!
Update: some people have to hate and not answer the questions on this thread, so I'll just cliffnotes' it.
- does anyone have better pics of this bumper - [color=blue]answered, thank you
- does this kit give extra room for intercoolers - [color=blue]answered, thank you
[b]- when installing an aftermarket bumper, is there a specific underbody debris shield i should be using, or do i need to hack up mine to fit?

yea, if there was just a nasty *** grill there then no, but I think it is the intercooler that makes it look nicer, still would never buy a body kit, or front bumper like that but w/e to each there own!

Ok....so the bumper is pretty close to the 99 Si one and doesnt have any fancy **** or a bunch of flair on it...and it still qualifies as rice? Have you seen this bumper in person or are you just commenting on your hate of all things not almighty Honda?
This is wierd, i have a turbo question and 3 ppl respond, i have a body kit question and i've got 14 now....

He didn't ask what we thought of the looks, or what we thought of it in general. Answer his question, or get the **** out.

It doesn't stick out too far, not too much more than a stock bumper.. it's clean looking. i'll search around and see if i can find a side pic.

I tried for about a good 30 min. If you can you have better luck or googling super powers than I do, either way, Thanks.
Does anyone know of a bumper that looks more low-key, like the 99 Si, that I wont have to buy a hood, fenders and lights to use?

Both cars pictured are 99-00, so you would need a new hood, fenders, and lights anyways. I could be mistaken, but I'm almost positive you could get an authentic OEM front bumper for a lot cheaper than an authentic C-West front bumper (to ensure correct fitment).
