getting close here. vertex is local and abit cheaper, but ings and do luck same price.

 

do-luck

 

I voted for all 3

 

vertex most prep already done and no chance of shipping damage, local sale from redleader

 

thats the prob i am having also

 

Thats not a problem really, just get all 3 can't go wrong with that Vertex though, I hate shipping damage I know alllll about it

 

Vertex, just because it's local and good to go. Damaged body kits from shipping always concern me.

 

I voted for the Vertex. But I secretly don't want you to get it cuz now I'm thinking about getting it.

 

get do luck

i have the full vertex kit and if i could change one thing about it it would be a do luck front bumper

 

well, with the poll results TOTALLY equal, i am still scratching my head, lol.

 

ha ha ha (get them all) they're like Pokemons!

 

well a couple more votes came in for the ings while i was on the phone making the deal with redleader on his vertex. so, this is finally over and gunna head over and pic it up tonight.
gunna do a little mod to it though to get more air in for the rad very similar to the asuka widebody. should look pretty cool. will post pics of the modding process and ofcourse final pics!
thanks for those who participated!

 

Vertex front is my favorite bumper for the Z33. However, it's not a long nose look. Of the 1st two, I think I prefer the INGS with the inner grille portion painted black.

 

sooo... its the ings bumper?

 

went and picked up redleaders vertex last night. i could get it for less, it has already been mounted and fitted very close, and no chance of shipping damage or getting ripped off or a month shipping time.
i am gunna start working on this here as soon as i write this, so hoping to get it pretty much ready for paint today. gunna add abit of strength to it though and fill the lower spoiler part with spray foam so it won't blow up when i hit something again. gunna add some more air ducts to it similar to the upper portion of the asuka wb front i posted above. so it will be some what a custom bumper when done and alot stronger than "out of the box".

 

i have a vertex kit if you are looking for one. lol

n/m lol

 

well, trying to make quick work of this. bumper is rough fitted to my car now. will be heading over to the shop next door and will do the final fitment there and finessing there! ended up being about as low a my other set up








somebody is happy to have the garage to himself for awhile!! dig the new croc skin tool bag (on the front forks)?





yes, i had to do some shameless bike pics!

 

Dood, it's totally the wrong color.

 

Great bumper choice. Are you going to fab a custom splitter for it?

 

just finished up for the day. 10 hours into an already painted bumper, lol. guess i am just a perfectionist.
ya, gunna be making another splitter for it. i think i have enough material leftover from my last one. also, there really is not a place to mount it underneath. i will be making an aluminum under panel that will span the whole bumper and fasten to the radiator core making it really reinforced and strong as hell. i also filled the bottom lip portion of the spoiler with spray foam.. i had to remake the whole bottom lip area due to the gelcoat being cracked. only way to get rid of it is to grind it all away and fill and smooth with a product called kitty hair. think of figerglass and resin that spreads like bondo and is strong as hell!! ground the gelcoat out and filled with kitty hair on a bunch of probable areas it will crack if twisted or hit. so hopefully, this bumper will take a beating. if i hit something again, the foam filled area will only allow a small crack instead of the whole bumper shattering.
still want to run another layer of matting on the back side in a couple areas. other than that i should be ready for primer and final blocking out after a few more hours.
then comes the custom work! i'm glad i got this bumper. it does fit the car pretty well.
