What is needed for the msp front bumper swap?

Just to get it on there like 3tnt and others without swapping headlights and such.

It's not an actual MSP bumper, it's a fiberglass replica designed specifically to fit the 99-00. I can't remember who's selling them though.

i thought it was urethene so the bumper actually had some strength to it.

Like someone on here selling them?

 

[P2K]

I don't think the guy that makes them is on here. If I remember correctly, he's on a another Protege forum from Quebec. Do a search for the bumper on this site and you'll find the thread somewhere on here that has the link to the original post on that site.

I'm just too lazy to look for it right now, sorry. Ask 3TnT or protege_lx99, I'm sure they could point you in the right direction.

They have one on corksport but its expensive.

That's the actual 99-00 Sport20 bumper, not the MSP one.

Well, I finally got off my ass and searched for you. Here's the original thread with prices from 3TnT, but I don't think the prices will be the same since it was quoted almost 2yrs ago.

3tnt makes those bumpers himself. I talked to him. He used a p5 bumper and an 99-00 bumper and used fiberglass and resin to morph them together.

3TnT didn't make this bumper himself. It's another member of Club Protege Quebec, ABP2000. As you said, he used a P5 bumper and a 99-00 bumper, and make this bumper.

I also bought this bumper from this guy.

Here is the final result

 

[patsfan4life]

how much did that cost you?

 

[D-rock240]

God that silver 99 looks sexy. Don't change anything!

 

[Not Jo3L]

Well look at this one

the corksport one is ok, way to much money and the design isnt much different than the stock 99-00 bumper cover.

i agree with you on that...its way too much money for that bumper....the jdm sport20 bumper is much cheaper...

 

[Sk8ter05]

here is a car with that bumper

 

[D-rock240]

Or in my favorite color

 

[Sk8ter05]

Or in my favorite color

for some weird reason i am not diggin this car....maybe cause of the stock grill or the rims....i don't know....

 

[patsfan4life]

I just dont like that bumper cover. Right away, if you have a trained eye to see a protege it looks like a knockoff of the p5/msp bumper rather than a replica. they could a have done a better job and made it look like 3tnt's bumper

 

[Sk8ter05]

yea, i agree with you...
