Yep, pulled up the gas station to get some smokes with my head up my *** and pulled right up to the concrete tire stop. Crack! Lucky my FMIC was not hurt. The bumper is a total loss. It was a real hard fiberglass though.

Anyone know of a good looking front end that will accomodate a large FMIC and is not HARD fiberglass. Maybe something polyurithane like?

I'm open to suggestions at this point. Going to need a new bumper. If I can't find something else I like I guess I'll have to go back with a corksport.

 

Modified S5 OE bumper.

 

s5 bumper with cut out grill + a lip = teh win

 

^ Agreed. With a good lip, anything is possible .

Seriously, cutting up the stock bumper for a FMIC wouldn't look that bad at all. With a good lip, you could actually be better off if it controls air flow to the FMIC by not allowing air past underneath. Air control is your friend. But, then again, you already knew that.

 

Just get a new corksport bumper, I'm certain that it looks better than a ghetto rigeed OEM bumper..

^^agreed thows kick ****** ***

 

S5 OEM bumper looks better than the Corksport one, imhmfo.

 

Is it cracked into pieces? If it's just cracked a bit, you can definately repair it yourself. If you choose to repair it, after it's done, spray some rubberized underbody spraypaint (stuff you use on innerfenders) on the inside of it to make the bumper less brittle.

 

I'd fix it, just lay up a fiberglass reinforcement behind the cracks, bondo, spot putty & sand the front, then repaint it. Simple. Easier than u think.

 

yeah, its pretty easy to fix fiberglass bumpers. i had to fix a buddy club one on my old civic when the fucktard tow truck driver ripped it off the car as he was putting it on a flat bed.... later i had to fix it when it hit a parked subaru outback head on at 5pmh and stopped right before the radiator support got the the front bumper of the subie.

 

hell yeah

 

I have a cut out OE s5 bumper and a lip for my fmic, heres pic

That looks good Z3rO. I think I will go with an S5 with a lip. I guess I wouldn't want a s5 bumper with fog lights right? Do they sit where your ic piping is on each side?

Unfixable, completely gone in the middle and about 10 pieces total from the sides. Heheh I crunched it pretty good.

 

yeah I believe the brake ducts go where my intercooler piping is, I believe that is also the same spot for the fog lights. But I think the brake ducts for a s5 and a s4 are a different size so you might have to swap those if you wanna have brake ducts.

 

i have the corksport body kit going onto my car but i would rather have the gp sports kit. i am thinking about selling it.

You should send me the broken one... I'll make it into some kind of front bumper...
