Best rice in town pt 2
 

So, this is my new front bumper. Its abit out of focus, but you get the idea. I still have a bit of adjusting to do, but this is pretty much what its gonna look like. '91 Eagle Talon TSI AWD front bumper cover. Rear to come soon...





Yes, it looks like a frog, and yes that is yellow overspray on the headlights.

I like it. Good work. With the headlights up it makes the car look like it's smiling a bit. :rlaugh:

looks good, now just get all the colors to match and you're set :)

That's kinda cool :) not my style, but interesting. I think it might look good on a widebody.

I wish I could afford a widebody... Being a young, broke guy doesnt exactly help when trying to fix up a car.

yes, its smiling. It is thinking "I'm gonna git you sucka" lol. That movie is great.

How hard is it to put this bumper on? I have a spare laying around off my old Talon.

Looks pretty good but not my taste why not just go buy an old eclipse and put a rotary in it? instead of putting money in it to make it look like an eclipse? once again im not against or trying to be negative i respect all the hard work u have put into your car just wondering.

Because there is no FWD transmission for a rotary *slaps head* duh....

I think it would look a bit better if you built vertical peices in the opening to make 2 short openings and one long. use the 2 shorts for fog lights or brake ducts.

how do you modify the bumper to fit a rx7?

Its not that hard to make them RWD. I had mine like that for a while when I busted a front axel. Was kinda fun in the dirt :)

i would definatley glass it in and mould it to eliminate the gap between the header panel. other than that it looks sweet, i had a 91 integra bumper on my old rex, i loved it, lemme dig up some pics. -greg

it kinda had a mariah style gap in it, i like it, some didnt, oh well

i like it, but i would modify it some

Ian it reminds me of the cars in the Chevron Techron commercial. Like I expect it to start talking at any minute. Its actually a good fit, Im surprised. Nice job.

btw what color are you planning on painting it?

It seems too round for such an 80's styled car. Nice in its own way, but not quite my style.

As for the integra bumper posted there, I like it except the gap right above the bumper. If the bumper was closer too the header panel it would look a lot better.

What kind of wheels are those?

Crazy Ugly Coyote - Not too bad. Just one main obstacle to overcome - the original metal bumper. I replaced mine with something else.

Eriks85RX7 - Simply put - a 7 is cooler lol. I am going to paint it Zinc Yellow, a mustang color - available on some cobras.

85rotarypower - The rear will be rounded a bit as well towards the bottom and I will be finding side skirts to modify to fit in the future. It will look "more correct" the more I get done to it.

Kingbob - There are 3 holes, you just cant see them with the crappy pic and the low level of light. I will be getting the original talon foglights and changing them over to fit a turn signal bulb.

Thanks all for the comments both good and bad. I really do appreciate it. As far as the gap between the header panel and the bumper cover - I could have mounted it higher, but then I would have covered about half of the body line/divot on the fender. I assume Gregs ran into this same problem. I will be running short screws up into the header panel to eliminate the small and uneven gap.

they are ADR (Advanti Racing) dont know the model, and that is my old -se so its 4x114.3

I Like It!

:d

I'm with vipernicus on this one...it looks good but not my style

hey ian can u get me a side shot and more of an angle shot?
-greg

I will email them to you in the morning.
