new pignose bumper

[timtiminy]

hey guys i just sketched this up really quick as something i may possibly do for my 240 i dont like how the stock bumpers sweep back on the lower half and i dont care for alot of the aftermarket stuff. basically what i want to do is keep a stock looking design but keep it more flush upfront eliminating the swept back lower portion. this is what i came up with. give me your oppinions. thanks

Kind of neat got a side view sketch .

[SochBAT]

Looks the exact same but with a Sidemount port on both sides.

I like the ports.

[timtiminy]

dont have a side view. thats the biggest difference, basically it will be the same as the stock except for the side vents and the more on the flat side from a side profile. i'll do a side view sketch if i get the time tomorrow and post it up.

take notes from member behind_horizon. his bumper looks good, and all it is is a bunch of holes cut in a stock bumper.

[breakindrifts]

Many people have the same thing except the side vents. I cut out my center almost all the way but left the sides intact. Do it and post pics, looks like it will look good if you do it right,

i have this front lip on my pignose... it looks great.. the brand is aero magic. search for it.

looks like a "pignose aero bumper"

[kY.gordon]

love the lip.

[pignose4life]

i love the drawn bumper looks round, clean and a good stock feeling, but in enen11's pic its boxy and kind ugly.

[ThatGuy]

CoasTek240, you have a picture of that bumper mounted. I still haven't been able to find a picture of it anywhere.

[Jung918]

love the lip.

Maybe you can afford it with the money you were suppose to pay me back with.

yeah if you can combine the design of the silvia aero bumper and the pignose bumper, you got me sold.

^^ damn thats crazy. I was thinking of cutting one small side hold and covering it with white wire mesh to accommodate for a side mount ic, but be a little stealthy.

On the main subject, i like the design. I've always looked for the zenki style aftermarket bumpers, but they are always some rare japanese company.

I really want a set of AIT sides and rear now. i believe those are the only matching ss and rear.
Plus my car needs to be painted, but im working on my motor right now.

am I the only one who thinks that bumper is utterly disgusting and tasteless in every way imaginable?

EDIT: wire mesh is fucking dumb looking, now more than ever

[Ian]

What are you guys fucking crazy? That bumper is stupid ugly

[CoasTek240]

yes, super ugly...but iirc that car is badass. didnt bother looking at the site this time. ugly bumper, but its more function over form...ye heard! lol

[thejapino]

your pignose lip looks nice man. unique for sure

[CKAMC]

the bumper can look better with some work... either way he has what he said he wanted.... not like he deams and says shit kind of deal.

[ThatGuy]

CoasTek, that looks pretty nice. :bow: Thanks for the pics.

[CoasTek240]

thanks man.
know any good shops in the NC area you reccomend?

[ThatGuy]

If I knew a good shop, do you think my car would be rattlecanned? :keke:

Seriously though, I don't know any real good shops off the top of my head. I always trust the shops that have classic muscle cars and hot rods sitting around though. :bow:
