New front bumper opinions.   Posted Tue Dec 17, 02   11:45 PM     

Hey guys,
I want your opionions on a new front bumper for my civ. After seriously considering discarding the whole bodykit, I realized that financially/ time consuming it will be far easier to keep it on then going to stock. I'm getting rid of the snow plow up front, (still don't see why the previous owner bought it...), and plan on going with something more suttle. I've narrowed the options to two designs, all others are just plain gawky with the rest of the design. What do you think?

This is actually the design ment for the bodykit itself...

This is a more agressive one that I saw...

Well, seeing as i'm not going with the front clip because I can't put a JDM engine in my car due to smog restraints, i'm sticking with the kit idea. I like'd the frist one too, looks cleaner... and I have those sideskirts now and as I stated before, due to financial constraints ect. I need to keep the kit, which has been molded in the side... But I definently need a new front bumper, the one I have now is pathetic.

I'd have to hit the yards and get the stock bumper plus supports, (which I'm gonna get anyways). It would be cheaper to go stock, but then i'll be spending waaaaay more taking the sideskirts of and finding moldings again. The kit bumper will cost a little over 200, more expensive than a stock one but cheaper than going back to stock all around
