mikie Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Wow the car looks awsome Carson. The black grill looks fine to me I wouldn't bother changing it. I personally think some sort of carbon fiber lip would tie in great... but looks great already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

97Rwagon Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Well then he just needs a metal skid plate. CF will tear to shreds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volvoson Posted July 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Kids, kids, kids... If/when I do a lip on this, it won't be anything crazy, it will be just like the one on gattigang's car (formerly on Will's car), and not stick out that far, 1-2" at the very most...

Unless you want the M4d d0wNfoRcE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you want the M4d d0wNfoRcE.I would definately do the lip without the "leuvers" on the front, since it wouldn't extend out as far I wouldn't need the added support.

HoustonT5-R Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Might I ask how much you paid IPD for it? My yellow brick has needed a new front bumper since I bought it. The previous owner put a nice rip in it from the driver's side foglight down. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas850Turbo Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Whoa.....wonder who came up with the design first? I've got a hunch the BTCC guys...... That's interesting- remember Mike's comment? " Looks like someone managed to make a bumper with a smaller opening than stock!" And it's used for racing! I guess being N/A allowed it.

drPheta Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 If a CF lip is touching that bumper, make it the VST one. The depth of the VST lip give character, otherwise its like a slab of CF taped on.Just my $0.02The bumper is growing on me, though.is it made of fiberglass or polyurethane?

Shoot scott@ipdusa.com an e-mail, he can talk to you about pricing it since it's a custom ordered item Whoa.....wonder who came up with the design first? I've got a hunch the BTCC guys...... That's interesting- remember Mike's comment? " Looks like someone managed to make a bumper with a smaller opening than stock!" And it's used for racing! I guess being N/A allowed it.I am pretty sure the VST bumper is a BTCC "replica", slightly modified with the foglight holes. I do notice that the VST airdam has a bigger "mouth" than the stock bumper (or R bumper), so even though the opening is physically smaller, it looks like it forces more air through it.If a CF lip is touching that bumper, make it the VST one. The depth of the VST lip give character, otherwise its like a slab of CF taped on.Just my $0.02The bumper is growing on me, though.is it made of fiberglass or polyurethane?I talked to Scott about that, and the idea was in my head until I was quoted a price as high as the bumper cost itself And it is fiberglass, so I'm going to be the only person driving this car from now on to ensure it lasts a long time.
