So my car is running now and Ive got my 00 front and rear on

I want to mold my bumpers any one have pics of how it looks on an integrA?

 

I would never ever mold my bumpers. It will be disgusting! and if you ever damage the bumpers, youll have to crack the mold to replace the bumpers! dont do it!!!!!

 

What are you talking about? Adding a molding strip or blending the bumpers to the fenders? Blending will not work due to this little material property called CTE (coefficient of thermal expansion), which is highly mismatched between steel and polypropylene.

 

i have seen it on some cars when they have connected the fenders to the bumper with fiberglass or bondo or something

Anyways I want to see some pics of integras like that I dont wan't to hear useless comments like that is stupid if you get into an accident , my car is not a daily driver

 

It looks stupid and will probably break.

Don't do it. Your car will hate you.

 

Don't do it! It won't look good!

 

Are you planning on removing your bumpers at any point? lol

 

FAIL!

well you did post this on an open discussion web site. people are gonna grace you with there opinions if you like it or not. personaly i like the seems in body panels.

 

i feel bad for this kid...

doesnt know what color his car is

got ran over by an escalade

wants to put a g35 muffler on his integra

and now he wants to mold his front end instead of properly fit it

 

its a bad idea. a friend of mine had this great idea as well- he has a 95 civic coupe. i don't even wanna mention its color but he ended up molding the front bumper for the same reason you are *wouldn't line up correctly*. Heres the solution to that, get everything oem and you wont have a problem with it lining up. Molded bumpers would not be practical for daily driving, any pressure that will be applied to it will result in cracks along the bondo line- it just....eh doesn't look right.

i just noticed all the smileys- ill use this one

Good luck then. Any twisting in the chassis is going to flex the points that are filled in with BS and ruin the paint and whatever material is underneath. I don't think you're realizing the fact that your bumper is plastic and flexes a lot. And if you're talking about a fiberglass body kit or something, that will just chip. People are just trying to warn you that molding your bumper on is ghetto as hell. It's a waste of money, it won't do anything for the looks of your car, and there's a great chance of something getting messed up on it and making it look like a complete beater.

Oh...and if you're gonna want more pics of ricer stuff in the future, you'll be better off on another forum. People might avoid common sense posts and you might actually get some pictures, too.

 

oh lord...

 

I feel bad for you , I have no clue who you are , yet you know my life story..... creepy

 

and just for the record everything is OEM and the front bumpers lines up correctly its the rear bumper that doesn't

my car was a complete wreck due to a series of unfortunate events , I am trying to fix it up my self and make it look half decent by the way I am 25 years old I highly doubt that is the age of a child...

all I asked is to see pictures

 

and I would be doing this molding my self ( for the person who ws saying its a waste of money) all work on my car was done myself so far

 

buy a new car...

 

cant afford

 

don't mold your bumpers......

 

ok if your front end lines up great try finding a friend of yours or another local guy with a teg that has the rear lining up. see if theres something you did wrong, possibly a defect on the bumper itself that you can fix and line up properly. im sure once you get that lined up- do any left over body work- and paint your car. you'll be happy you didn't shave it but instead cleaned it up nicely.

if your set- like i said my friend had this done but sold it a while back. ill try and get pics of it now, but that was the front bumper- theres some other guy that had this done to the rear...it just looks...odd but o well.

actually... i read your first post about molding your bumpers... i laughed for about 10 mins and then thought to myself... i guarantee this kid has made more threads like this so i look and there you go...

 

LOL

 

I'd suggest you think about different reasons you might need to remove your bumper in the future before you do this.

- Accident
- Hood latch replacement
- Hood cable replacement
- Headlight replacement
- Fog light installation
