your right it is shorter --- how odd

tyusha said:
Hey guys. Looks at the rear end carefully. Do you see anything odd about it? Yeah it's a shorty rear kind of like the one that comes with mint blue body kit Gurly has. I think it's really hard to use those short bumbers on US spec cars, but i could be very wrong. It's definately a nice looking agressive kit though. I just don't get wheather the front bumper dam has a grill or a mesh of some sort in there, because to me it doesn't look that way. I would be too worried to drive with this kind of bumper here in Mass, but for you lucky Cali people it's a def. go unless of course the rear doesn't fit...

This is my OHHH face! Ohh. oh OHHHH

This kit is awesome... but i guess it is an aquired taste! I have always like the big mouth kits! I have a white P5 with 18" Gunmetal rims, so those openings would blend nicely with my dark rims! So this will most likely be an investment more me. Please, as soon as someone gets this kit, let us know how it fits, and if any mods are needed!

If I'm not mistaken the mintblue kit also has a shorter rear bumper...

is that a kia?(uhm)

Nah,I think it's Ford's new rally car(look at the censored oval on the grill)

Anyway it looks like something Veilside would make.If the level of extreme was turned down a notch or two(like if the front lower grill and opening of the hole of the rear bumper was smaller and had mesh,I'd probably get it).725 is cheap for an extreme kit like that.I wouldn't mind slappin' that on my P5.Looks a lot better than the dull Wings West kit.

i like the kit but i'd like to see a pic of BIG ASS FMIC behind the grill and a straight shot from the back...

bonesmp5 · Nov 11, 2004

did i miss it ??? what is it made of ?

and with that big of an opening in the front -- i wonder what keeps the bottom from bending

ps i hate the size of the wheels --- they look like 20s --( 215/20/20 ) just too big IMO

to BIG and opening in the front. This would look better, I photocropped it

Your rendition is nice. Can you do that to the one without the fogs? and reduce the middle and the side holes too?

Protege5Gurly · Nov 11, 2004

The JDM rear has different mounts/supports as well

Yes i can try to do that and have pics up soon.

BLU_MP5 · Nov 11, 2004

Here is a quik one.

Familia323 · Nov 12, 2004

that is F*#$in sweet.. i would buy that...

Subghetto · Nov 12, 2004

Anyone know how much for the rear bumper it looks ******* sweet! But will it fit? If not they need to make a USDM version.

Glowspeedp5 · Nov 12, 2004

ASK Protege5gurly how she put her mintblue bumper on I think that is shorter than stock as well.

Protege5Gurly · Nov 12, 2004

To install a JDM rear you need all the JDM/EDM mounting plates and hardware. You remove the taillights, and unbolt the bumper from the top, wheel wells, and bottom. Then you unbolt all the stock "5mph" bumper stuff (i had to remove my system to get to some of the bolts. Swap out the mounts, put the bumper back on, taillights, etc ... finished.

What's up with the rear bumper, is it painted black or missing...

Glowspeedp5 · Nov 13, 2004

protege5 gurly how short are the brakets. I could look at getting some brackets made. I know a machine shop around the corner. How much shorter are they over US ones.

Protege5Gurly · Nov 13, 2004

Its a completely different design not just shorter. Hard to explain.

Hey everyone -- they have 2 new pics at the website ---

and i found out the material ---- PFRP =
poly-fiber reinforced plastic

i dont know exactly what that is but it sounds better than fiberglass ---
it also states that ALL bumpers fit OEM -- i would assume that means you dont need the rear brackets -- but who knows ---

ps-- in the new pics you can see the rear bumper better
