I am looking for something different and this bumper is growing on me. I wanted to find out if anyone has this piece. The rest of the kit does nothing for me, just curious about the front bumper.
:help:
Does anyone have pictures of this on an EP? If so please post. I have a NBP and would appreciate any other images or experiances that anyone has.
Thanks guys.

Funny you posted this... I also have a NHBP EP and had your same dilema. I actually bought this bumper with the Buddy Club Replica side skirts and the Wings rear bumper about a year ago and still have not installed it because I decided to do a motor swap instead. I have had the kit sitting in my basement for about a year. I'll take pics of it when I get home so you can see what it really looks like. Believe it or not besides the stupid chicken wire that comes with the front bumper it's actually pretty clean. The pics you posted do the kit no justice. I bought mine from Extreme Dimenssions. I would just say if you do get it, wrap the front bumper with Star Shield Armor or Lamnex because it's made out of fiberglass... which sucks :mfrown:

hey man, i'd appreciate it. thanks.

i was thinking it would lend it's self to type-r skirts pretty well. if you can, take a side shot of the bumper so i can see the profile better. yeah, vendor pis are usually pretty bad unless supplied by the mfg.

That looks like plenty of room to do a nice brake ducting job...

Well here are a few pics of the bumper and a teaser pic of how it will look with my replica projector head lamps :mbiggrin:

Don't know if your familiar with the JDM Bodykit manufacturer Ings+1, but in my opinion this is basically a replica of the kit they make for the DC5.

looks cool. I need new front and rear bumpers. I kind of want the buddy club kit, but I really want those headlights.

thanks for posting the pics! that clears up alot, and the web pics do not do it justice. looks better than i thought. Except for the chicken wire, that may need to go, or get painted black at least.

That is what I was wondering. I was on their site just the other day... debated adding Ings+1 to the thread title, but didn't know for sure. seeing your pictures, it is deff a replica piece from the RSX kit. i agree :msmile:

Now... if only someone would come out with an Ings+1 replica front "Half Spoiler". That is really all the EP needs... a little something out front.

BigLon30, Do you have any plans for the grill? I bet a fab'd in type-R grill would look nice. The mesh is not working for me, gotta keep the big "H" out front. :mwink:

Yeah I am getting rid of that ugly mesh but it's not going to be intstalled any time soon . Right now Im just focusing on getting my swap done. I have had my K24 sitting in a garage for months. ( No money for KPRO FTL :mfrown:)

The airwalker lip for the 02/03 CTR front bumper may be what you're looking for.

Yeah, I've seen that one before, and it's price tag...$$$.
These designs are very similar, the Walker is a little more edgy than the softer subdued Ings piece. And the lip looks a lot fatter. Details.

So... I guess someone needs to make a rep Walker/Ings lip. :mbiggrin:
