CIVIC FRONT BUMPER What do you think?
This Is my 84 Rx-7 i just wanted to get these updated pictures up. if you want to see the old pictures search for a thread called (shaved back bumper what do you think) so check those out .
Keep in mind im only 16 years old. so i know the work isnt the best but im working on it. i plan on molding it all in and getting ride of that trim and yes i relize its not that even. ive been working on fiberglassing the interior so i havent had much time to work on the front. i will get the interior pics up soon. anyways tell me what you think of the front.

Looks a little too flat....maybe if you could find a way to mount it farther back it'd give it some depth....
But the way it is right now, something just doesn't look right.

It looked a bit better when it was a smaller thumbnail pic. It does seem a bit odd. A little bulky and it doesn't match the lines so well like another said.
I came to this thread thinking I'd find something horrible and terrible. But it doesn't look like a horribly done job. And for being 16 I'd say it's really good

im in your baot man im 16 and i think it looks pretty decent if you took alittle more time into the body with alittle bondo i think it would look good...get rid of that trim and mold the bumper into the fenders and stock rx7 bumper so its all in one line and not changing shapes where you can see that it is attached.......looks like your going the show look not track look so.....yea

Pretty creative. I think so many of us have observed the SA/FB body-form so intensely that it is difficult for many of us to think 'outside the box'. Nice work.
Also, I am curious and wondering how you'll be 'glassing the interior. Doing custom door panels by chance?

awesome work on the body
but as said, it doesn't really "flow" right, look on the side and front view, onces its blended it will look better but you can really see the difference between 80's lines and now.
But its your car, and you really did good work on it, keep it up for the rest of the car

Bimmer *****
the thing that makes it look really funny to me, besides the line between the fender and the bumper, and the uneven line by the cowl panel, is the lack of a rear bumper... it makes it look so strange to have this huge bumper up front and nothing in the back, it makes the car look very unbalanced... like others have said, if u worked on the lines itd probly work real well... its way better than the retarded acura integra bumper a few people have used...

Respecognize!
1) those rims are HORRIBLE!!! that said,
from the front it looks just plain great. could use a bit more bondo to make it look more "seamless" but from the side it does look a bit akward. the lines of the car just dont match up right.

I'll have to agree, those are some NASTY wheels.
and it does look great from the front, if someone made one like that specificlyfor the FB I'd buy it in a heartbeat................
good job,

Amazingly enough, despite the fact that I came in here to flame... I like it!
It looks like you kept the upper half of the Rx7 bumper, and used the lower dam of a civic one.. and I think that with some professional smoothing it could turn out kinda nice.
But not in white... You need a cooler color

What everyone else said.
Obviously it needs some work as you already know. I think it could look really nice when done. The lines could easily be made to flow very well since the bumper shape isn't bad. It just needs some nice side skirts and a rear skirt to be tastefully done and it'll look pretty cool. Keep working at it. It'll get there.
