Molded bumper

Whats everybodies take on the molded rear bumper?

I've seen one and it looks good (other than the Integra tail lights), and i was wondering what others thought.

Thanks,
Eric

I don't like the tail lights in the second pic, the work is impressive but still don't like the lights.

1. It will need to flow with the other body mods.
2. Don't get rearended.
3. Get used to be mistaken for driving a Porsche. I get that one with the widebody.

people only go with a molded bumper because they want to get rid of the stock lights so they can put in some rice ones to fit with the rest of their rice car...

I think the one I posted looks super clean without being ricey. It's how I want to do my rear bumper

I looks good as long as you dont get rid of the body line when you mold it. When you get rid of the body line it just doesn't look right. I don't know that's my personal opinion. If you keep the body line it looks fine.

Which body line are you talking about?


Here's the car itself:

Those pics are of the same car, the first is with the factory lights (which I'd keep) and the second pic is with Integra Alteezas.
