Well Im setting my self up here, but I just want opinions I guess.

Theres a Rb Front bumper that C West makes for the silva that is tight as fuck. A few things plauge me.

First off buying a front bumper and the possibilities of shattering a fiber glass bumper drifting.

Second being its a LOOOW bumper and Im again affraid of wrecking it.

I dont know how it would look with just a bumper on the car No side skirts etc on the car.. I'll eventually get them though.

I want the car to look good, and yes its a rolling billboard for my clothing co. Im just looking for future ideas..

a) don't dump the car rediculously low
b) have a spare for a 'drift' bumper
c) dont buy a fiberglass bumper

option c.

Dude....one time off-roading, and she's shot. Maybe don't drift with a front bumper?

i dont really like the large opening... maybe it looks better on the car though.

someone has to make something similar in eurathane?

you can totally go offroading with a fiberglass bumper and it's not absolutely destroyed.


but if you plan on being crazy , tremove it!!

I showed you the pic before Tim.

Well the car wont be silly low.
I'll always have the stock bumper
cant really avoid buying something they dont sell ! But I see the point.

The thought of putting a bumper on and off every event aggrivates me. Guess I could just zip tie it or something.. dunno. All depends on if I actually get it or not. *shrugs*

NOt only are they different, The white coupe is a widebody with sideskirts.....the widebody makes it look good.

i just dont like the extra little notch on top of the intercooler opening.

other than that it looks good.

yeah .. and I thought about the side skirts too.. not the wide body kit. Dunno..
its all still a thought.

money on body kits or things that look good and don't serve any function = BIG GHEY.. spend the money on a driving school or something useful, like tires. body kits are ghey. once cam with the lip is all i need.

the bumper looks like the R33 bumpers they sell for civics and stuff. i think it will look ghey with no side skirts or anything. but if u get a full kit, paint it a darker color, it will look hawt

my friend has an r33 bumper on his s14 and it looks hot. His has a removeable front lip, which brings it's height back up to regular chin spoiler height (ie level with stock sideskirts). I think it would look nice man, besides... fiberglass is easier to work on if it does break, however it will break easier.

Thanks guys.. Im still tossing the idea around. Side skirts are a must! That Ive decided.

but you know, these cars are daily drivers. Everyone want to have a nice clean DD. They just do drift duty when the Call is heard.
