I primed it all with the hood, hatch, doors, guards, bumpers etc off, but just 'el-no bolted' it all back together for a quick pic, did all the body work myself etc and saved alot of cash

I love my cooler, its the perfect fit for that gap, the top and bottom of it are exactly in line with the bumper, and its a home made turbo set up to

Sired, thats closer to the colour that the mags are - dark bronzy/gold but just a lil brighter, not that bright gold/yellow like in that other pic,

Cant wait to when its all finished

 

i like how you took off everything to paint it..comes out alot better like that.

 

Good job on the paint, but what a waste of a perfectly good bumper.

 

^ Looking at the size of that intercooler maybe it wasn't a "waste". Car is coming along well...

 

I've seen bigger intercoolers mounted without cutting... so...

 

Thats good,

The REX looks good and will look great when painted also nice rare EF8 parts for sale.. I may need some ...

I cut it out because I wanted to not because I had to, I wanted to show my cooler off and I did a very good job of cutting it out nicely so it almost looks like it come like that infact I have had people asking me if thats an aftermarket bumper and where to get one lol, I am very happy with the results and dont regreat it because it looks just the way I invisioned it

Poor JDM bumper..

 

You did a good job cutting it.

Everyone just has to be a critic; they make it seem as if that’s the last JDM bumper ever made. You did a good job with -&gt; !YOUR! &lt;- bumper. By the way what color will you be painting the car?

Thanks , it will be a royal blue with a black theme and gold/bronze wheels, kind of like a subaru I guess with the blue and gold wheels

Yeah, jdm is a virtualy unknown style and even I never knew about it until I came on honda-tech, rice is where its at over here. I brought that bumper with indicators for $50US, and I brought a lip for it the other day for $20US.

You should see the GTR next to my crx, my crx looks so tiny. The GTR looks like a monster 'godzilla' next to it!
