I'm with you... I personally love the 8gb front end.

Other than that...pretty basic. Just take your time

Don't know if you are talking to me but I'm referring to the bumper

I think Pete (g-spot) was the one that did a quick how-to...look for Zenko aero something or other...can't remember the name of the grill

Yeah I liked vees grilles..i think they were from a seller on ebay. Used to see them listed time to tile, but I think seller is in asia, and I vee said they needed work to fit good.

I like the 8gb front over the 8ga because of the beak and it reminds me of the evo. I prefer jdm fronts usually over 8ga as well.

If you want the evo look then you're gonna love my car come summer time!

Finish it and sell it to me

**2002BlackDragon** · 02-05-2015, 01:05 AM

Dude... that's coming along pretty good.

**demond0d5** · 02-05-2015, 01:07 AM

that's from last summer...in December I was able to work on it a little...although not as much as I wanted...but its at least one bumper now, not two =D

**demond0d5** · 02-05-2015, 01:10 AM

I don't have any pics of after this but this gives you an idea of the end result...ish

Next thing I have to do is actually put it on the car and start forming stuff to look good. My car was down a bit this winter so I lost a week or two because of that...it sucks not being able to do stuff while I'm away at school :/

And I thought fiberglassing my grill was cool. My bumpers gettin the treatment soon too. Is that gutter mesh from Home Depot?

demond0d5, looks like you're going to use the gutter mesh and splice two pieces together, go to home depot and go to the construction section, they have a big piece of metal mesh, I think for concrete, and if you use that you wont have to spice two pieces for the top and bottom

**demond0d5** · 02-05-2015, 09:50 AM

Oddball, yes it is. Gutter mesh usually in the same area as all the wood, over by the shingles and stuff. About $3 each

Kyle, each piece is just big enough for each sections. I don't have to put any together at all. (2) $3 pieces as opposed to (1) $30 section is a lot better IMO...since each mesh is covering the hole I'm not too worried about it, I don't think I need 1 piece to do the entire bumper, be a lot of waste on the back side. I was pricing out mesh for the entire thing because I didn't think the gutter would cover the bottom one but it does =D

Lancer OZ Rally Lip came in today from member..."g-ridda" did a little cutting in the middle to make it fit in the "mouth" of the bumper...but other than that fits like a fucking glove...lines up perfect and the end caps snap right over...you almost don't need to use screws or adhesives
