If anyone actually does this please post pictures. I wanna see a picture of it in NIGHTHAWK BLACK PEARL IK THINK THE FRONT LOOKS TYTE
...depends on if you get the bumper wholesale or retail.

You can get away with it for probably $700.

Yo Eric, it's Jim. You're brother told me about this thread. Here you go man.

Both give you an idea how your splitter would look.

I forgot to clean up the grill on those previous two pictures. Here they are again with the grill re-done.

Whats up Jim! I didn't know you were a photoshop guru! Thanks for the effort...it's looking like the bumper will be a nice addition on the TL according to your work.

UPS Freight called me today to schedule a delivery and it's set for Monday the 22nd!

I'll dare you
I would love to rid something like this up but my driving habits nor my funds agree. If it was poly...then maybe down the road. Im still trying to get a drop and some rims.
I you could, which you probably will once i put it on youtube, see what my friend and I did last night with our first taste of snow in the tristate...didn't know how to act. Found some school parking lots and acted a damn fool

The bumper arrived to my parents house today as intended. They're going to visit this weekend in Charlotte and will bring it with them!

It was $434 shipped UPS freight!..not bad

PLus it arrived safely. They said it wasn't wrapped with any plastic or bubble wrap and that it was actually flexible when you pick it up.

I'll keep everyone up to date on the install and quality later this weekend. Wish me luck!

One year later the bumper is finally on the car!! My friend with the 350Z pretty much did the install and i was the helper. The fitment is very impressive. It's made of mostly fiberglass and looks to be extremely prone to destruction if it hits anything. SO i'll just be a bit more cautious on the road.

If anyone cares to see pictures before it's painted just let me know and i will. I think the finished product will be very nice!

is the hood down all the way? That is horrible fitment. There is a huge gap if the hood is already down all the way.

are you getting the center part of the bumper cut of where you would mount the Acura emblem on the car cause I think it will look better. get that hood repainted too so it lines up with the grill.

haaaaaahahahaha for the graphic material on the bumper...my brother was the culprit of that deal! ...he actually added some more of his comical artistic skills today....I almost died laughing when i saw it...you've guys have got to see it. He drew flames and a honda badge with words rice101 enscribed on the front!!

As for the fitment...of course it's not going to be perfect. The thing was $434 shipped from California!! It won't be too noticeable when it's done...or atleast i hope not.

The car feels different above 90 miles per hour...almost the same effect when i was running splitters. It feels like its planted to the road...could just be my imagination.

The air dam is mongoloid and screams for an intercooler of some sort. SPEARCO? GREDDY? ARC?

...thanks for the suggestion Jason. I'm undecided as to which way to have it completed. Do i keep the bar and have it painted black? Do i order a typeS black chome bar and install it as is? Do i cut it just like before? Do i have the splitter part painted black? ...there's all kinds of way to have it done.
