Default A crazy idea

After seeing that other post with the jdm black mugen rex i was wondering would the curves of the jdm turn signals "Flow" if a slot was cut in the wings west bumper?

any idea? its would look alot sweeter with them

not to jack your thread, but does anyone remember seeing a 90-91 civic front bumper fabricated with 94-97 integra lights? (made it look similar to a jdm front end)

you would want to use duramix of fuser not fiberglass on a urathane bumper like wings west. Fiberglass wont turn out well on urathane just thought you might want to know from an experiencec painter..

ok........just did this with my hatch actually and it lines up pretty good. i totally ow3nd a JDM front bumper to do it tho. you have to cut the whole corner section out of a JDM bumper then the same sized section out of your wings west clip, and plastic weld it in. then use a plastic/epoxy filler to stuff in all the weld areas and sand the whole thing down. the end result is sweet. i'll get some pics up in a couple of days.

i did this recently on my cyber kit, which is pretty close to the ww. i actually modded the whole front bumper to work with the jdm front end, headlights/hood/turn signals.

first i made a template for the turn signals using masking tape, and cut the bumper to those dimensions. it required me shortening the hole for the usdm turn signals by about a 1/4" to fit the jdm lights.



next i taped the lights off and body filled around them. you have to rough the surface up on the kit so the body fill will stick.



then you do some spot putty work and your have a usdm bumper that houses the jdm turn signals.



the hardest part of the project was brining out the top of the bumper to meet the longer JDM hood. it took some time, but looks mint after it's all done.

It would be nice if there was enough demand for WW to redo the front bumper to accomodate the JDM bumper lenses.

The curved bumper lenses reflect the headlight/corner light and tie the whole front end together. Why would you not want the SiR style bumper lights?
