Help me pic a Rear Bumper (kit)

mdjice · 10-13-2009, 12:15 PM

Hi as you can see on my profile pic I have a kit (front and sides) but the rear is stock, the friend I bought it from got hit and the rear bumper is damaged so I have to get a new one anyways now, The fron and the sides of the car get a lot of attention but the rear lacks style, what rear bumper would you recommend to complement the car?
I'll try and post a few more pics if i can find some.
thx

Personally not a big fan of the veilside kit but if your going to keep it I'd say just get the veilside rear bumper.. everything else is going to look out of place, everyone knows that kit as a full kit.

desmo4 · 10-13-2009, 03:23 PM

I would recommend ASM dry carbon. Get out your check book.

^ think id rather buy a s/c and drive without a bumper

dezignpro04 · 10-13-2009, 04:52 PM

WOW. I really hate body kits. To each his own, but I would never own that, EVER. Do what the guys sadi and keep it the same brand so everything matches.

turbosix · 10-13-2009, 04:55 PM

sell the front / sides

buy a shine

Body kits

. You won't find too many folks on this site that will have a solid recomendation for you. Not many of us here like body kits to begin with (just an opinion no disrespect).

Hey.. You haven't seen my new front bumper.. Not a full body kit but just the bumper.. I think its pretty nice

RL1924 · 10-13-2009, 04:56 PM

Turbos got the right idea...

turbosix · 10-13-2009, 05:12 PM

a mugen rep can also look good, gotta paint the entire inside black for it to look nice though

RL1924 · 10-13-2009, 05:21 PM

^ yea I just have the hard time getting over the big smile lol

turbosix · 10-13-2009, 05:31 PM

looks like a snake to me... a cobra ready to strike

RL1924 · 10-13-2009, 05:36 PM

Wait and see it on a rio... PAC MAN! lol

turbosix · 10-13-2009, 05:39 PM

SORRY PHIL

RL1924 · 10-13-2009, 05:51 PM

The amuse R1.. is also a nice front bumper.. We have gotten a little off track of the thread but lol its nice too

MutantCheese · 10-13-2009, 07:21 PM

Not feeling the kit, nor any kit for the S really, but I would go with the bumper for that kit if I were you.

Yea everyone can't like the same thing... I do like the oem comment thats kinda the look I want.. Subtle but some thing a little different then stock

mdjice · 10-13-2009, 10:17 PM

Thanks for the replies guys, I see most of you here don't like body kits, I respect that !

but I really like the front I got on my car (plus I got it like that anyways

so I guess I will get the rear from the same kit I didn't know the name of it, thanks !

I wonder where I can find one in Houston (no shipping fee)
basicaly my other cars I keep stock but this one I will make a car show so keep body kit etc...

RL1924 · 10-15-2009, 12:45 PM

^ I used to want them too.. I hear they get ripped off a lot and people end up needing only one but you have to buy in 2's and there not to cheap either.

I just have the OEM Lip and then went with an INGS rear bumper with a two-tone paint job (Berlina/Flat Black) ... gotten MANY compliments on it, not very extreme and for the most part it keeps the body lines intact.

My mate has a C-West front bumper but i think that looks OTT

mdjice · 10-18-2009, 11:14 AM

I agree it looks nice! any rear pics?

RL1924 · 10-18-2009, 11:27 AM
