GT-C front end Bumper Signals

Hey guys, before you vote, its 390 a pair for the 99 lights, that is why we have this option...

Here are two quick pics of the bumper lights, i vote 99 spec, i think for the most of you, just cut a small piece of plexiglass to cover the hole in the bumper till you can get a set of 99 lights, or even just leave your stock lenses in the back of the cutout.

I know it will look ghetto but some of you guys want to have the 99 lights down the road, tossin up some ideas...

Either one is still sick in my opinion...

How about this one? No lenses up front and I added a FMIC (obviously )

99 spec looks awsome! But then so does the no lense/FMIC

99 Spec

anyone know why the 99 spec lights are so much more complicated then ours? I noticed this with the new Knight Sport front too. I mean what are all those bulbs doing in there?

1 lense (amber) is the turn signal, the 2nd lense (clear) is a fog light...

I like what you did there Kurgan, very interesting.... maybe we could do that, and mount a very small lense at the top of the cutouts on the sides of the front end, like sittin back so you dont see them unless they are lit up? Just more food for thought...

Heres my vote leave the stock turn signals to keep cost down but punch out a somewhat standard size for fog lamps.

Look at my revision of your photo

so is this the bumper that we have agreed to? If so why are the lights so expensive? I might change my mind on the bumper since these are close to 400 a pop.

Here's my old Photshop attempt trying to make a virtual bumper...

I have updated some thins, like reduced the shine/brightness from the front and added a intercooler for looks.

I really like this bumper...
Make it happen, soon! I wanna see the real thing

I made another version just to confuse you all.

I don't remember seeing this version posted anywhere. I personally thinks this looks best. It has a better flow and makes it more sleek. I think it looks a bit more like an enhanced stock lock (and this is not a bad thing, ok!). Ofcourse the 99-spec lights are a must, but it's really needed.

The huge openings in the above pictures is certainly good looking but maybe a bit "grotesque" for the rest of the car?! Anyway I think this bumper will make our FC's more updated and give them a very competiting look whatever the outcome will be!

And as I said I like this one the most!

No the bumper is still in production phase. The first mold didnt turn out to their liking so they got a new 2nd gen bumper and are doing it again. Updates coming soon!
