i still think that looks absurdly goofy... it sticks out too wide on the sides, so from the front it just looks... goofy

it looks good considering it came from a completly different car and was never meant to go on this one. the other one looked different on the other car, this one doesnt seem like it comes down far enough or not as far as the other one

Yep, looks a lot better in the dark!

once you get it finished out it should look nicer. Good luck.

It doesn't curve properly to match the lines of the valence and fenders, so the proportions look off to me. What kind of understructure are you using for that bumper?

Atleast spray paint it to somewhat match the car, it'd look much better if the car were lowered, had the rear bumper from the Integra and sideskirts.

My God... that has to be the ugliest front end I have ever seen... Why? Why?

Even in the dark, even if I was drunk, I would not find that sexy.

Different

Not my cup of tea, but if you like it than thats all that matters. Everybodies tastes are different.
I think that if you managed to extend it down about 3~4 inches it would look better though.

I dont know if I like that or not, but I tell you one thing, this pic in the dark just screams Japan sports car.. First thing came to my mind is AE86. For some reason I'm obsessed with the corolla, dont ask. It does seem though, no matter what color paint, it doesnt look finished with just the bumper. If that fits like it does, well wouldnt that mean you can fit after-market ones as well? I donno if I heard that or not. I'm not saying that it would be cool or not, but it would be different.

I was just about to post that same observation. It does not follow the contour or compliment the front end. I am impressed you got it on there. If there is one thing I suck at, it is fabrication. If I tried something like that, it would look like some jacked up, bootleg, crooked piece of crap that would **** me off to the point of me throwing it in the alley for the trash man to pick up.

You're right, i wish i would've looked in to one of these bumpers when i had an AE86, i hated the look of the US front bumper (mine was also damaged) and i certainly didn't want to pay the rediculous price of $500 for something as trivial as a "JDM" bumper. $30 from a junkyard would've been fine.
