I been looking for a 1st gen 3.2tl front bumper, but I can't find one. Anybody know where I can get one, factory, or remanufactured.

desired_speeds

go jack one from someone haha

they are rare to find since there are no many wrecked TLs around

One'll pop on eBay soon enough. They seem to go kinda quick, though...

I looked for a rear bumper for months. The dealer price was like 475 with employee account..

I ended up going to car-part.com and finding one like 10 mins away in brand new condition for 100 bucks..


Go there and you can find the entire assy for the cheapest price avail.. Also the yard will give you the bumper reinforcement and the foam with it..

id assume 100-250 bucks for all it. quite possibly could find a painted one the same color as your rig also..

damn, it cost that much, lol. I was thinking about putting on the 3.2tl front bumper, cause I dont want to spend a shit load of money on a kit from japan, cause most of the kits from america look weird, like the sorona(spelling?) thingy.

Colt45

i feel you.. the sorona kit is fucking garbage. It makes the car look like a guady space ship.

IMO the moste tasteful kit is the inspired designs kit..

Mainly cause it continues the lines of the car partially.. Also its urethane.. I cant tell you how many times ive dousched it on the curb and stuff already.. If it was a 1500 dollar skp skipper kit, it would already be trashed, broken, and wasted away.

DiegosAnotherR1

yeah I know what you mean, those japan kits are just FRP. My cousing already had to repair his junction produce front bumper on his GS cause it cracked after kitting a pot hole turning a corner hard. They dont make those inspired design kits anymore though, like the one you got. I remember there was a member on here selling one that was already painted white too, but I think he sold it already.

haha

Yea i got that from TLxRacer.. He owned inspired motorsports..

The white kit is the one i have, i guess it was the first one made or something. I bought it off him a few months ago..

He can find the kit for you if you want it.. He found it for me but then told me he was selling his own off his car..I have a pole building at my farm ive turned into a paint booth. Its got a buckstove also that i can burn oak in and get the garage over 140 degrees with this time of the year.. Pretty much bakes the paint on when its curing. So the fact it was painted didnt really bother me much.. I just stripped it, pressure washed it, sanded it, and trim blacked it for now.. That way i can pull into spots and tap it on the curb on accident and stuff till i know where it sets. Get used to it and all.. Im also workiing on some stuff to get the fitment killer cause im kinda anal about that stuff..

JP stuff is no joke dude. Front bumper retail at like 2500 or some shit.. insane..

Im really sketched about getting this all painted without air on it.. Air is a fortune too.. It honestly makes me think more about finishing it and starting this q45 or ls400 project..

If i choose the ls400 i want to do a 2jzgte, if i choose the q45 i want to do a vg30dett motor for it..

most of the dudes on vipstyle have some dope rides, but the majority are slow.. Im a speed junkie coming from 13.8:1 11k rpm all motor track cars, and 500whp turbo civics. I cant do the whole drivin like mrs daisy deal.. Id like to have a air dumped q45 on some 19x10 scaras with a wald kit and 600whp 300zx motor. Thats vip to me. Smokin a cigar and some jerkoff in a crx revs on you. Close the curtains and blow it sideways at 85 white smokin some -20mm offset 19s. shoo shoo. then take a bite of my steak sitting on my door tray. haha

Sarona kit is what AcuraRyda has on his, . Colt, I've heard of a boosted 1UZ, so you might not have to go to the trouble of fitting a 2J into that LS, and I know where you can get a CedGlo like RIGHT NOW with a VQ30 in it... Guy's asking for a bit much but then again, it is a real CedGlo. Diego, I'll see what we have locally here. I believe there's one or two JDM front bumpers lying around.

~Cheers~

DiegosAnotherR1

where are you located? Yeah can you see if you got any laying around? How much would it cost for it if you do, and how much to get it to me...well just let me know if you do got one.

Thanks

Go90go

I'm up north from you, . As desired puts it, I'm on the "hella" part of Cali, haha. I think there was one from a UA2, and one from a UA3, although they might be two from either one. I'll let you know ASAP.

~Cheers~
