Was it that hard for him to figure out? Says it all over the place in the product description.

Looks like one of the fiberglass vis bumpers with alot of custom work. Without custom work they look awful.

Here is what it looks like unmodded.

Btw the link is for a cf hood not the bumper so him asking where it is from makes sense since it is a 1 off custom job.

Hes asking about the bumper, not the hood (which is what is for sale in the link posted).

IIRC, that is the CL that custom molded an Accord kit onto the CL.

info here https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...=accord+bumper


"The front bumper is a VIS skyline front end, cut and mold and minor modifacation, sides are from JT-autostlye/rear JT autostyle, molded flares....."

"the rear and sides are from JT autostyle. the front is a mold combination of the stock bumper and a VIS r34 bumper. the flares well hell i forget where they are from but there is actually 8 flares on the car. we used 2 sets so they would reach all the way to the bottom of the car. we also built lips underneat the fenders to attach the flares, so they look stock on the car. it was a messy job, we cut almost 2 inches off the fenders and 2 off the quarters, which had to be resealed closed. thanks for the compliment."

"to make the front bumper, modify the rear a little around the lights to fit better, shave the skirts on, shave the handles, shave the trunk, install the door poppers, install a short shifter, shave the flares, install cf pedals, install the sparco gas door, install the coilovers, adjust the coilovers, basically everything you see for a little under $5000. we did not paint the car, even tho id love to take credit for it, we didnt have the facilities at that time to paint the car and i wouldnt paint a car that size unless i knew it would be perfect. now we have access to a booth so we can"

Thanks for all the information. Looks like some serious work to get that look. I was hoping it was a direct fit.

Brian6speed you are saying it is an unmodded bumper from the octane motorsports link but then you also say its a skyline R34 bumper. it does not look like the octane motorsport bumper at all. Can you provide a link to me for the R34 bumper. I did not see the bumper under the VIS website.

At first I thought it was the vis cl bumper modded, then I searched fir his thread and realized it is a bumper for the accord. I assume he used accord over cl cause it was 2004 and cl bumper probably wasn't out yet but not sure.

Here is a link to r34 bumper, not positive it's right one.

Its definitely not the bumper you send me a link of. That bumper has side vents and two fog light openings. I have the versus bumper with the bottom lip cut out because it sitting so low and it looks bad. I really want to find a nice bumper that would look good with the rest of my versus kit. All the ones for our car I have seen are too drastic looking. Any suggestions of other vehicle bumpers that would work, possibly accord.

His bumper is a stock cl bumper molded with an accord r34 bumper. It is 2 bumpers combined to make 1 so obviously nothing I link will look like it. It is a 1 off custom.

That car...was originally the one that actually pushed me to buy the CL.

My tastes have changed a lot since then but damn I fell in love with that CL!
