well i like this one on the accord.
anything like the WW lip/bumper will be cool too so that it gopes good with the side skirts and front lip, or just anything you decide on because you have good taste.

I would like to see a bumper with a flat ass and one exhaust cutout. Nothing to flashy but stands out in the crowd.

Count me in too

Ross,

If it is not too late I would like to be included in the group. I just ordered the WW front lip so I would like something that would be somewhat flush with the rest of the skirts. Please add me to the interest list and I will definitely come through.

By the way I am diggin the rear bumper on the silver CL posting.

The silver cl is a member of the dohccorp, a racing organization out of hawiia. I believe this cl is the best on the site (for now, until rmstoico's car is unleashed). The rest of the car can be seen at dohccorp.com. He molded everything on there customly, yet i dont know what the kit is called.

Trust Ross, he is gonna make it sweet.

that veilside kit is hot

when i first said i was in, i assumed i would be getting a complete rear skin not just a lip like the yellow accord and wagon

i like the 94+ integra xtreme rear
or the 96+ civic boxer rear bumper
sorry can't take pics from the site but see it here at vis racing

whatever you choose, i'm sure i'll like it
singe exhaust and i need side skirts to match
thanks

sup . anyways i would like to say i'm in for either a rear lip or a rear bumper if a rear bumper if not too late. hopefully a clean style and nothing outrageous. and i'm guessing either would be fiberglass correct?? because i'm having my w-type kit fitted now but not too sure about the mix of poly and fiberglass..

You all will have to count me out. I just looked at my WW lip this morning- it looked hot when I first got it, but now after all the rocks and sh*t that hit it, the paint is all chipping off and I dont want my rear bumper to start looking like that after spending $550+ on it. (400 bumper + 150 painting).

My apologies for dropping out, but better now than after Ross makes the bumpers, right?

your paints chipping because whoever painted it isnt prepping it correctly. you use a different primer on urethane than on metal/fiberglass/smc.

and besides that, is it PPG paint? good body shops that use PPG gurantee the paint for the life of the car, at least in my area.

and besides that, rocks wont hit the rear bumper unless you drive backwards alot.

and besides that, its a 99% chance whatever we decide will be fiberglass, which doesnt flex paint like urethane. i dont have the resources to build urethane bumpers. you need solid molds, heaters, 2 expensive chemicals, etc...

I had it painted at one of the best places in town. they used PPG paint and gave me a lifetime warranty, but i dont think that applies to road hazards like rocks, right? The chipping is definitely from rocks- I am sure of it. Anyways, I'm gonna wait till the bumper gets picked and then decide what I want to do. thanks.

well, is your front bumper chipping too, if not, then they should fix their work on the lip. good luck.
