Icon3 Mugen Front Bumper Questions

i currently have a 05 06 style mugen bumper but the thing thats keeping me from putting it on is the fact that you can see my brake coolers, a/c condenser etc. i like the look of the bumper but it doesnt look clean,, any kind of grille or mesh available that would look better???

make it. get tabs and put them in with a good adhesive and buy mesh and bend it into place. its a bit of a pain but its the only option i see open. my replica came with the tabs preinstalled. all i did was press the preformed mesh in.

Maybe do black mesh though. IMO that looks a little tacky.

i couldnt agree more. id just rather have the mesh there than nothing because its not a permanent move. after winter my fmic and foglights are getting mounted so there wont be any mesh

Nice ^^ What sucks is if you were to do black mesh on the color you have, it would look weird also. The silver just isn't as bad but still weird haha. I think the FMIC is the better option though

tiny baby greddy kit but its a nice dress up. it would be on now if i wasnt so worried about snow lol.

OP, i was just worried about leaves and stuff getting stuck in my car and thats about all the mesh is good for realistically.

I was trying to think of something funny to say but nothing comes to mind. I just think it's ugly.

Yeah, but then he would have to get the 05-06 front end. They don't make a Mugen lip for the 02-04 front end. I do like the lip better than the bumper though.
