I think that's beautiful.. very clean and smooth..

makes it look a bit like an audi A4

what's it cost? what's it made of?

[anti-hu]

its about $490 plus whatever the shipping would be from germany. im currently looking into what the material it is made of. and im more than sure you would need the jdm rebar to fit this on too.

i think it looks VERY clean with some ctr sides, wing and a ctr butt.

i've already got the JDM bumper bar (I have the JDM spec buddy club kit)..

the fiberglass on my kit is cracking around the lights and i haven't been too happy with it as a whole, so I'm THINKING about changing.. curious what this is made of

[anti-hu]

i want to say its urethane but im not sure. i sent a pm to the guy on jdmuniverse who posted this, im also thinking about emailing the company hoping that they know some english. that bumper looks reallly clean...i want it :)

[Heitzke]

mmm, that bumper looks reeeally clean. I agree with what hamlet said, it gives it a very distinct euro look. It looks like the stock grill is still being used, so do you think a mugen grill would still be able to sit in there?

[chubbychu]

it makes the car look...almost kiddy like. like a toy. lol

[psylovibe]

damn that looks nice.For that price, it might be urethane?

[abstrack]

looks like the real deal to me, so does the one posted directly on their site shown here http://www.tss-tuning.de/bilder/aerodynamik/civic-ab02_2.jpg

[hamlet9634]

dude, you're on crack..
it's not a photochop

it even has the reflection of the s2000 on the bumper if you look carefully

[TheMutt]

Did anyone else look on the site and find it funny that their CTR had two dual-tip exhausts? Iono it seemed a little unnecessary to me. :D

[Suk02Si]

I'm liking it too :D

[psylovibe]

anyone find out where to buy it, any US dealers...im liking it alot...has a european look. hehe

[anti-hu]

got a reply to my email, the bumper is fiberglass.


and then the monkies cried :crym: :crym: :crym: :crym:

[MrCivic03]

looks hot to bad it is fiberglass...DAMN...

[psylovibe]

damn that sux.What the quality on the fiberglass, since it so expensive?

[anti-hu]

im assuming the quality is very high, considering the fact that the germans make damn good cars and have rather strict standards.

[irrational]

does anybody other than honda of japan make any good looking poly kits? i like this front bumper alot but fiberglass in unacceptable!

[irrational]

bump..........anyone have this bumper?

[psylovibe]

i know some guys on the type r board do.i tried ordering one from tss but they dont speak english or just dont wanna email me back!!

[downhil]

i like the looks of it....looks alot like a gti now.

[STP03BlueSI]

not that bad lookin

[prracer617]

well guys let me give you some info on the bumper ....i just purchased it and its a sweetbumper took me three months of kissing booty to get it .... 600 just for the fornt bumper and you need the jdm rebar....its made of fiberglass does need some modifaction cause it is for the european type r ....theirs only on guy that sells that kit in the states and for you to convince him its takes some butt kissing ....any other questions just ask

[prracer617]

i was so desparate for that bumper i found a german guy to translate my emails to them it was pretty bad i kept emailing them translate emails until they finally wrote back then i had to have the guy decode the thing cause i could read german........

[prracer617]

also its 600 just for the front bumper and thats shipped to you you have to pick it up at a local airport or sea port ....its was sent to me 3 day delivery i jsut had to pick it up at the airport .....its good quality fiberglass but im not recommending this bumper for a daily driver car ......with ctr skirts and rear you looking around almost 3 g's with skirts ,rear bumper lip and rebars ....not a kit you want to crash

[irrational]

sounds like this is one of the hardest parts to get ever!!!:(

[prracer617]

well it really took me some effort i went into aol germany found some one to translate a letter for me...made a good friend though he was a good guy ....he help me out with him i would of been sunk ...they do speak english but when you write to them they just inore you ..guess they dont like americans .....after a couple of letters they gave me the name of a distributer that only likes to sell euro kit for bimmers and mercedes and volkwagon ,also he dont have a local shop he has a european online business no store front .....i called him and try to get the info aboutthe bumper he does like selling them in the state cause he say to much competion with companies making fake imations of kits ....so he makes more money selling euro ...after him hearing a grown man cry he agreed to sell me the front bumper for 600 with three day air ....from cali....it was actually cheaper then the tss price they want but its a bumper that you really must wanna get ....it made real high quality fiberglass but i repeat again not a bumper for a daily driver unless you got money to spend like that ....you want the info to order it im not gonna greedy about it ...hes only sold three and im one of the first three to conconvince him to sell it so he should be more open now to selling honda products ...jsut gots to be real nice with him

[prracer617]

hard is good makes you shine with originality ....makes people look twice at the beauty and effort of your ride .....

[ep3si02]

post pics when u get it installed.

[prracer617]

no doubt i will

[BlackSi613nin]

i kind of like it, its cleen and not to crazy, but it does kind of resemble a vw or a german car (its made in germany, maybe thats why) anyways, its a better alternative to the bc kit, imo..

joHn

[prracer617]

well we all know german tuning is some of the best in the world ...they really pay attention to detail i mean the bumper is made nice not that cheap thin fiberglass you see im those cheap imation sights but its is a dent in the wallet ...i fell in love with the thing so it was really hard for me to turn away from it....it just kept calling my name until i got obsessed and even went as far to translating my emails jsut toget a reply from tss ....extreme maybe but the bumper does look sweet ..........

[redronin22]

thats one of th best bumpers ive seen for the ep-3. very r32'ish
