I think you might be. lawl. I like it, reminds of the Buddy Club II kit for other cars, minus foglight housings. I just can't imagine doing anything to the front since I already have clearance issues with the OEM front bumper on stock suspension.

it looks ok, but im with you, not as nice as the autoexe bumper IMO. I think this would not look nearly as nice without the FMIC sticking out of it either.
 
We are working on different meshes/screens for the bumpers. A finaly material has not been selected yet.

The bumper does not have a mounting point for the stock foglights.

i think it's whatever.
it's fiberglass.
it doesn't flow, you're right. the things on the side of the bumper just look odd to me.
you lose your fogs (i don't even use my fogs, but wouldn't necessarily give them up. i don't think those extra gaps are going to make me go faster...
so all in all...i won't be the consumer purchasing this, but it appears there will be a lot of people waiting for it to come out.

more pictures would be great and hopefully do the bumper more justice for me.

How much lower will this be than stock? With my suspension I am struggling with my driveway entrance already. Is there a warranty for cracking? What is the weight comparison. Seriously, 200 to ship to me in New York. i still like though. And the fella's are right on a rear end with a real diffuser would mean a road trip to visit you folks to save on shipping. ha kinda kidding. Thanks D
 
Fiberglass is a relatively strong material under normal circumstances. It is made from plastic resin and synthetic fiber. You can guard your fiberglass body kit against cracks and tears by minimizing its direct exposure to undue stress. The strength of this material depends on the methods employed by the manufacturers to mold it.

Ordinarily, fiberglass is very good material for a body kit. But unlike metal, it can easily be damaged, and it also fatigues over time, leading to cracks. Professional body work experts should be able do repairs, but there are many instructional kits available as well. However, if youre doing it yourself, be careful. Fiberglass can cause some serious eye and skin irritation. And unlike metal, it can particulate, or separate into its component fibers, which can very quickly become very difficult to control, let alone repair.

If you live in an area that has snow or rough roads, you may choose to select urethane because of its endurance. If you live in an area where the roads are smooth and the weather is decent, then fiberglass can be used. Just as metal bodywork rusts, fiberglass cracks under such adverse weather conditions.

Because fiberglass can be molded, there are several outlandish designs out youll find on the market. A normal wing and body kit combo may cause around $350 to $800, or more. Customs designs are also available, at a much more exhorbitant price, since custom designs are by definition done one at a time, with a minimum of automation and a maximum of human handiwork.

Why is that? Do Corvettes have that problem?

yeah, i was thinking the same thing.

there are a lot of performance cars that use fiberglass bumpers. lotus and covette to name 2.

i think people just assume it's going to crack because when they had their sick ass eagle talon with that dope body kit spray painted, it cracked. (rockon)

no offense.
 
Keep us posted with updates and details, Corksport. we will need to find an alternative way to mount foglights and a mesh or grille that still looks decent with my top mount ic. With the Front mount the car looks quite aggressive. Controlo and or phillyb, how about weight comparison between the polyuthing and fglass or fb

fg seems to be lighter judging by my quick google search. urethane vs fiberglass. have fun.

Is it just me or does this bumper look like the Autoexe with some minor touches made to it ???

JUST YOU
