are you really gonna fab one of these up? or are you just bored?

i think it'd look better with out the first gradient, and without so many "support beams" on the lower cutout.

creative tho.

Something about all that work just doesn't flow on the car. Maybe it's the swollen lower grille.

if you notice in the last one, I moved the turn signals up a little bit to give more room for a large lower mouth

well..

I dont own an integra- and I am looking to fab up/mold and cast a clean bumper for an integra since everyone only rocks oem ones-

ive made a bumper for an rsx- and I plan to do a mugen styled trunklid spoiler, similar to the one made for the cl9

the intake duct doesnt have to be there- I just figured that there is an upper duct on the jdm front end, so what about the usdm front end?

I dont know- I am just comming up with ideas for now- I would have to get my hands on an integra front end and a bumper..and some materials and modeling clay to get something started- maybe

^

Its tough to come up with something for the usdm front end because the turn signals and the oem bumper fit pretty well together-

I would like to come up with something similar to the rando front bumpers for the ek hatch and dc5, and also something like the backyard special bumpers for the civic and the dc5-

I also like the jblood bumper for the civic

Can you chop foglights right under the turn signa on the stock front end? Rectangular ones not too big though. Always thought that would look good.

^ hey at least your being honest right???

I tried- maybe the usdm front isn't meant to have an aftermarket front bumper?
