How about the R34/Octane front like SCneonchic?

^do they make that in urethane?

urethane = $$$$$$

TNK · Post by **TNK** » Mon Jan 29, 2007 2:35 pm

fiberglass = broken and having to repair and repaint = $$$$$$$$$

Mr Josh Zombie · Post by **Mr Josh Zombie** » Mon Jan 29, 2007 2:37 pm

go ABS plastic, or urethane
for the love of god, i'll never go fiberglass again...

i miss my Razzi kit... ABS plastic FTW!

yeah, my buddy lost his rear bumper on his cavi (fiberglass) and has a huge crack in the front bumper on it. but he should fix it soon since he has his 03 325i to drive now.

Is there an option to leave your car as is? Its really clean, and if you start mixing body kit peices together, it may work, but it may end up looking like total ass too IMO.

I like the 03+ wingwest 8 peice kit though. That would be my choice if i were to get a different kit then my instigator one.

a thought i had about your car while working on mine a few minutes ago... you drive your car in the winter/snow seaons... i wouldn't get an aftermarket bumper period. Theres a huge chance your just going to get it ripped off.

And don't tell me that'll you'll switch them, becuase you don't even switch you're $1,200 rims that you're still paying off.

I've been driving fiberglass for 3 years, learn to drive.

However if it must be urethane, the only options are Erebuni (if they still make it), Evo5 from JT Autostyle, DTM Octane (R34), Wings West (good luck finding one), Xenon (good luck finding one).

If it were me, and I had to have urethane, I would choose Wings West.

i had a xenon in my grasp adn i let it sli[p away.

its not that i cant drive, its just tehj risk factor. i dont watn to risk runnign fiberglass.

Don't forget about Prodesign. Although it is made of abs not urethane, same material as our stock bumpers. And the wingswest kit and xenon kit are very readily available.

Try avoiding a retread flying off a semi right in front of you on the highway, in the middle of the night with no street lights. Shit happens, and it doesn't necessarily mean you are a bad driver when it does

You are right thur. My kit is made of abs plastic. Even though it is uber flexible, when it does crack, its not an easy fix. I had to take my bumper to a plastic welding shop after i ran over a retread from a semi, and it was not cheap to fix.

but paint aint cheap.

glasswars, it's called, TNK learned to budget and got his ass straightened out. plus i was gonna sell the SRT front and use the moeny from that to pick up a new front.

The r34 that I have doenst come in urethane...they sell a version of it somewhere (cant remember the company's name) that is urethane, but it has sort of an extra lip on the front. Someone on here had it on their car, but I think they sold the kit. I cant remember his name right now, dont think hes been on in a long time...TeamLiviD maybe?

Id keep what you have anyways. Might be kind of hard finding something that lines up w/ the r34 sides, since they are kind of low.

welchspro · Post by **welchspro** » Wed Jan 31, 2007 12:15 am

anyone lined up for that srt front???? someone local is INTERESTED

best looking front imho.

TNK · Post by **TNK** » Wed Jan 31, 2007 2:36 am

welchspro · Post by **welchspro** » Wed Jan 31, 2007 2:55 am

ya...i can't picture your car with anything other than an srt bumper...nothing compares.

TheNumberOneD · Post by **TheNumberOneD** » Wed Jan 31, 2007 4:26 pm
