Default My ee8 crx jdm front bumper? Look again....

FRESHLY PRIMERED










I TOOK THE MOLD FROM MY EF9 BUMPER I USED FIBERGLASS AND EPOXY RESIN TO INSTALL









SANDING OFF THE PUTTY TOMORROW I PAINT



I MOVED THE BOLT BRAKETS FOR THE LICENSE PLATES DOWN HERE
ALLOT OF SKILL AND PATIENCE REQUIRED BUT IT CAN BE DONE.

FOR THE ONES THAT ASK WHY?
WELL I WANTED A DIFFERENCE LOOK I ALREADY INSTALLED THE GLASS TOP AND ALL OTHER GOODIES BUT WANTED SOMETHING DIFFERENT, I GOT THE IDEA FRONT HE SPL9 FRONT BUMPER.

yeah that is where it will stand out from the other crx's the amber lights have a different shape also. I plan to maybe paint them yellow like the very rare edm bumper lights.

By the way that is not a real edm bumper! The real one are yellow, japan also provide the bumper the uk but there was only one version with yellow bumper lights. There is nothing different your bumper from the jdm one

Then why post the thread as an EE8 or JDM bumper? The real one looks a fair bit different being 2" longer plus has the extra vent area.
It doesn't look like the jdm bumper.....just the signals

Mine is from an EF8, the jdm spec model, i know the that Europe calls their VT model the EE8

Hey man, i'm not hating....just wondering why he titled the thread as an ee8 bumper, there is no part of it that is

Here's another pic of a jdm crx front bumper



Here's a pic of Europe's VT EE8

it makes total sense. he said "look again!!!!" plus why hate on someone who is going original without whack bodykits. people who hate are the ones who fail at everything.
watch one day this guy will make an *** load of money selling his original ideas to people who also like them.

plus the jdm front end is just getting to be too much work and too much money for a piece of plastic and screws. might as well make it
