My custom bumper is being fabricated!!



I talked to him today and showed him the photoshop and what i wanted to do with the car and he loved the idea. He suggested and said that he will route my corner wedge bulb as the blinker. I think i will try an grab an integra relay so that it is on at all times and blinks when the blinker is on. Either way, they are going to do the work and i can't wait.
Just thought that i would share my joy with the community.

ding that will look pimp, it shoudlnt take long to do it right?

you have to mold the lip and then the bumper lights then right?

nice work what is he going to charge you for it to be done and painted?


i have a question though how will you remove the front bumper now that there will be one bolt hidden from the fiberglassing over the lights? cause there is a bolt behind the turn signals and then one on the side, are you going to only have 2 bolts holding on the bumper?

It shouldn't take too long. They are gonna start when they get back from vacation on monday. I don't think that it will be there for more than 4-5 days. He was going to mold the lip anyway for me, and i asked him to do this while he's at it and he thought it was a great idea. As far as charging, i am not sure yet. He is a good friend of mine, and my family, so he will not be making any money on it.
As far as bumper bolts, right now i only have one on each side because of my mesh, so i guess that i am gonna have to cut a small amount of mesh to get a socket in there. I haven't had any probs with the single bolt on each side yet.
Thanks for all the positive feedback people Rep points for all, well the ones i can give them to

I have accord lightspeed 4cyl springs and kyb agx's. I'm pretty sure my drop is around 3" +/-. All I need is to finish my rear lip and get my new 19"s I got my eye on a pair that was just released.

Well my parents and i had talked about it. There was a great deal on a 97 540 that we passed up, it needed a new power steering pump along with other components under the hood, and the miles were kinda high. I am only keeping the CL until i graduate in May, so for me to buy another car, trick it out just for a year, its a waste. My parents are letting me get a nice lease car through the company, i.e. $30k + range, or maybe even take my dad's 03 escalade off the buy out when his lease is done. But for now, i am gonna have the CL exactlly how i want it, and i will be happy for another year

Hey Katana you could always take and mold some Integra Headlights and make them your turn signals.

I mite sell them, or keep them still debating. If I do sell them though, It prolly be a local deal because shipping to/from hawaii is a total nightmare.

Yeah its just going to be filling the empty bumper light area. I don't know how they are going to do it yet, but it is being done. I completely custom one off bumper would be a rediculous price. I think the only person who has one on here was sickacuracl, whatever his name was, the one with the yellow widebody.

I can't really pick onw because there are so many. My personal favorites, that i can recall, are VXCL's, Baka-t's and CLPower's back in the Ghander days with the black CP's.
