question for all you aero guys.... help!
 
well, i have this unknown bumper on my car. i couldn't be happier with the bumper its self. fitment is excellent. now, i was going to run shine's spec s sides and front bumper, but i think my rear bumper is too aggressive to flow with the side skirts/ front bumper. does anyone have good close up pics of the spec s side skirts? can anyone identify the bumper, any sudgestions on side skirts, front bumpers? oh, btw, i have 50mm d max style rear overfenders, i was going to run shine's spec b front overfenders to go with the rears but they're slightly different. one has a lip on the edge, the other doesnt. basically just asking does this seem like it would flow decently, or look like theres 50 different things going on all at once.

any help/input would be appreciated,
thanks.

here's the rear bumper.

maybe some version select side skirts they look like they would "flow" well

those side skirts definitely look like they would work. not a big fan of that bumper though.

ksnew 04-05-12 08:50 PM

maybe origin side skirts? it looks pretty close to the origin bumper

maybe if i saw those sideskirts on a car

Ideally, you will need to photoshop to get a good idea of how things will look. Since you have a rare setup, you may never find pics of another car with a similar look.

Its Origin-Lab.

Its their Stylish Line, the only kit they make for the FD.

Or a good copy.

thats what i thought when i bought the bumper, but its slightly more aggressive, and if you look at the sides, its a little different... should be interesting figuring out how to make my over fenders work with this bumper since they overlap

IMO that rear bumper, b spec fenders and dmax rear fenders will look terrible........... nothing flows and those fenders are so dramatically different.....

The fuel door is Hello Kitty. Not sure why you had trouble identifying that one.

ksnew 04-06-12 03:24 PM

haha the fuel door got messed up, so instead of going and getting it repainted, just wraped it with hello kitty....

it gets all the bitches :D

hey theory, do you have any more side view shots of your car with the spec s side skirts?

silverTRD 04-06-12 05:27 PM

^ word. i'm thinking about running the spec s sides and front bumper. i think it'd work since right at the end of the side skirts it dips down.. it may actully look really good. or bad. who knows. sigh.

sick ride theorie!!!

ksnew 04-07-12 04:24 PM

how much lower do those side skirts go from the stock body? any idea? i'd say my rear bumper goes at least 5-6"... if it doesnt hang lower than the side skirts, i think it'd look perfect. but 350+ shipping is alot of money to spend just to experiment :/
