Hey guys soon i will be removing my bumper and making a mold of it to make another one....(I keep bottomin out on pot holes and shit and am scared to actually crack it so bad i cant fix it) so that i can have a spare. I was wondering if the price was right would anyone else be interested in one of the copies as well? It will all depend on how many are interested as to the price. I am not actually doing the work a friend is so i dont know what he will charge to be exact...im trading parts for the work. So just let me know if your interested and ill talk to him.

yeah let me know about this man. keep us updated. if the price is right I might be.

 

What price range were you thinking?

 

that would be a big deciding factor for me. if its anything like the original price then i couldnt. i need a second bumper though. so if its fairly low then I would go for it.

 

depending on cost sure

 

What material will the bumper be? If the price is reasonable considering the material, yes, I would be interested as well.

 

I'm in, depending on cost/materials.

 

Me too, cost would be a big issue for me as well. Also, would you be using any polyurathane for the materials?

 

it will be fiberglass like the original...he hasnt got back to me on a price but i will let you all know. and i really dont think it would as much as the original....that was what 1500? im thinkin less than half price...

 

yeah i really hope it is less than half or even like 350 or 400 would be nice.

 

ya... if it's THAT cheap, then, i wouldn't mind either!

but..... if there's so many CG with Phase bumper......then.....lol~

 

its ok mine would only be during the winter.

 

fiberglass? doesnt that material break easy? if not then i am so down to pay 350-400.

 

hmmm.. I just realized a slight problem with buying the bumper. Would there not be issues when trying to find a shipping company since it will probably be oversized (as in the case with the Modulo Bumper from ebay) ??

 

Most bumpers/kits are fibreglass or some kind of composite similiar. Very few companies use polyurethane (plastic like the OEM) because of the high costs for the mold.

 

You might want to becareful with selling it. If the owner of the Phase Bumper designer finds out .. might be in for a lawsuit. just becareful

 

I also doubt this kind of "home-made" duplicate is going to produce one that fits right anywhere near the real thing

 

When I was looking years ago (for another car), it seemed like most of the aftermarket body kits I found were fiberglass. So if you prefer urethane (I do, as I know that sooner or later I'm going to scrape a parking curb or something), you will really narrow down your choices. :-) This time, I'm making it easy (easier?) and installing the OEM kit. Nice to have something with brackets and such too; better fitment than even the urethane 3rd party part, IMHO. But that means that you have a common mod, not too unique. I'll live with it.

 

Urethane is better to live with than fibreglass, but this stuff is even better again!!

thanks

they need to design a tsx kit.

 

well im thinkin of adding a lil stokeless engraving really small to it to make it a lil different and there will be no metal mesh grill comin with it either so yea its a copy just not an exact one ill find away to get away with it

 

keep us updated on this man. what do you think the eta is going to be.

 

ya man, keep us updated for this!!.... i wouldn't mind a cheap nice looking bumper to screw around sometime!!.....hahaha!

 

WHERE IS THE UPDATE?! LOL!! i really want one...=[

 

I'm down for this as long as it's cost-effective. Don't mind the fiberglass either.

 

UPDATE...ok the bumper is off and we are gonna probably make the mold next weekend because we are fixing the cracks in it that it has. Basing cost and hours and amount of sales if we are only going to sell 5 price will be from 600-700 but if more people buy we can lower it. Along with this we can personalize each bumper, can have your name on it your team or what ever else where ever you want on the bumper if you want the mouth a lil smaller or the side holes more rounded that can happen too..we can even fill the front mouth with your name if you so want it. But if only 5 buy that is where the price will be so i need to know exactly how many people will buy to lower the price. It will take us a full day to make the mold and one more day per bumper so let me know who wants what and we are located in San Diego so if you are interested hit me up with a pm..and once i get more than 5 buyers then the price will drop.

 

Fiberglass?

 

Stokeless - I'll be moving back home to San Diego next month. I might be interested, but I want to see it in person before I can commit.

 

i'm interested.. but Shipping would be a BIG concern in this situation. I live up north , toronto. let's get more people and LOWER the price!h hahaa...
btw, It's not painted, is it?

 

Question, if I brought my car down to San Diego, would you guys help me install it?

 

pm sent. =]

 

I have to agree with this. Although my interest is very high for a Phase replica bumper, i'd like to see the real thing, or pics at least, of the fitment, quality, etc. before shellin' out $600++.

 

I want to get the price lower before I can consider it.

 

yeah because its fiberglass...i mean 400-450 does sound a little reasonable?

 

like i said it will all depend on how many are interested. I am not making the kit a friend of mine that does fiber glass work with commercial fiberglass not the store bought stuff is gonna be making them. We are making a copy of it no matter what for my car just in case i get in a wreck or hit another bump and destroy the bumper to a non fixable condition. But he is a close friend so he is helpin me out.

Cobalt..in reguards to installing it for you bring some beer im sure we can work something out. =)

But once we have a bumper make and all finished up i will post pix give me a few weeks because i still have to get mine completely fixed before we can make a mold and im a lil strapped for cash so i will continue to give updates when i have them.

Nice! Expect a 12-pack if I do end up getting this front bumper. The only problem is that I test drove both an STi and an Evo MR this weekend. And the power is amazing... So now I'm starting to save money for either one of those cars.

 

no dont give in keep modding your tsx but if you do sell i call dibs on your wheels now

 

does fiberglass break that easy?

 

Haha. Well, I'm planning on selling regardless in 1 year from now. After the 2 test drives I prefer the EVO over the STI for better handling. But then again, I hear that the Evo X will be coming out in 2 years time, so there's a bevy of great new features and styling...

Also, someone (Kaikai) already has mentioned interest in the wheels, but I'll sell to the highest bidder hehe.

And sorry for this:

 

you know you want your wheels to be on a show car
