hey rotr8 you never got back to me about replicating strakes for my accolade fenders if I made them for one side. I'm also debating doing carbon on the nose to go along with the hood trunk and soon to be roof.

 

look what showed up today

 

ballin'!!!!!

 

Nice, get that painted and installed quick and get that snail running.

 

yeah i would love to im working 12 hour days at a shut down right now. i have the accolade fenders up in the top of the grage that need to go on too

 

I wonder what fog light mount brackets they'll use for the front.....

Looks sick tho.... I like....

 

I'm going to make my own and modify the bumper to keep my crash bar so I can attach the projector hid fogs and intercooler mounts

 

I modded my crash bar to fit my modded AutoExe bumper, There is a lower box frame that can be cut away that doesnt tie into the bars stands, you can reduce the hieght of the box frome in the front by half. Is this safe, dont know, its probably there for a reason(minimal hieght for a crash zone or something) but I figured the meat of the bar was the upper portion.

 

yeah I was looking at Modding both like you say. it was dark and I only looked at it briefly. hey rotr8 how about those strakes I pmed you about on the accolade fenders

 

I only vaguely remember your request. Im not sure what you would like me to do? I especially cant build anything based off pictures. whatever part you would like I would need the part its fitted to to even know where to begin.
I know you sent me a pm a while ago, but I get so many pms like it that I most likely overlooked it. Send me another messege detailing what you would like, and Ill see what I can do.

 

well i gave fitting it a shot today along with the rear bumper.the rear i was able to cut up another bumper to see what i needed to do before i cut mine. no pictures of the rear yet.

 

Niceee bumblebeerx8!! ^^ Looks pretty evil looking.. I'm gonna be working on Phil's 8 C-West front bumper on Saturday, I can't wait to see it in person and put my custom touch to it.

 

What are you going to be doing with Phil's bumper?

 

We will take some pics of what we do..........Mine is still in the box.

 

ah man top secret eh?

ЯX-8, you do body work?

 

mine is going for paint tomorrow

 

oh you have to cut the bottom portion of the crash bar trim a 1/2" in and down on that section of the radiator hole. then you have to shave the part that presses in the corner lights. its a bit too thick to press in with ease. other that that its pre drilled holes new tabs forundertray screws. mesh for everything. not any lower than stock bumper with app package.

 

how's the fitment?
(aside from having to modify the crash bar)

around the corner lights?
where it meets the hood?
up against the fender?

Just wondering on a scale of 1-10 so people can get an idea of how much work their shop is going to need to put in for that OEM like fitment.

 

9-10 before the 2 mods with a rotor zip which took 20 minutes. I'm not even taking the car to the painter.

 

Congrats Phil good choice :-)

 

I'm the one who talk Phil into it!!!

 

Bumblebee and Phil, have u decided if your putting mesh in the grill or leaving it open?

 

9-10 before the 2 mods with a rotor zip which took 20 minutes. I'm not even taking the car to the painter. all the issues were around the corner lights. the gap between the hood tightened up with this bumper

 

im going to put mesh all all the holes but I have projector fog lights for the small holes by the oil coolers. the mesh is getting painted black and intercooler will be black too. it will be a sleeper

 

Rotr8, my first choice was a bumper that you were going to make (and still may) and then my second choice was an ATH that is impossible to get into this country at any thing like a reasonable price. Then I thought an R-magic might look nice but alas it was not for me. Chunbelievable brought up this one and it did look nice so.............................

I will be adding something to the grill area. Not yet sure if it will be mesh. That is only one of the things that we will be working on. I have three different sets of fog lights/running lights and want one set to mounted into the bumper. I also want to check fitament and be able to tell the body shop the points that may have to be altered. Armin has transformed his 04 into an 09 so he is able to do body work but the final fitament will be left to a body shop so that the paint and lineup are perfect.
