Goodbye fiberglass!!
Tuesday, December 22, 2009 5:29 PM
I finally had a chance to rid my car of fiberglass and install some of the RK Sport stuff I've had sitting around. The front and sides are the RK 03+ lip kit, the rear is the Type J. I bonded the front lip on with epoxy, pretty happy how it turned out. This is just going to be my winter bumper, I have something in store for the spring time. I also think in the spring I'm going to swap out the Type J rear for an LSS rear (which is why I didn't bother throwing in the filler panels under the tails).

I still have a little tweaking to do with it, I wanna pull in the skirts a little closer to the fenders on each side, there is a slight gap there that bothers me.

And yes, I know, the car is filthy as hell. Hopefully over Christmas break from work I can find some time to giver her a bath. On with the pics.

That's the OEM stock bumper that came from the factory...it still needs a little adjustment to sit just right, I threw it on in about 30 minutes when it was almost dark out so I wasn't paying to much attention to the small details, just needed to get it on the car. I thought too when I first put it on the car that it was kind of low, but so far I haven't run into any clearance issues (but then again I'm back on a stock suspension for the winter). I think the only thing I don't like about the design of the front lip is that it sticks out a little far on the side by the wheel well, I would have liked to see it sit more flush and inline with the rest of the bumper, sort of like a factory LSS bumper. If I run this bumper again next winter, over the spring I may tear of the sides of the lip and shave them down a bit so they sit closer to the bumper.

Thanks for the good feedback, and like most of you pointed out...it's better than the EVO, and that's what matters the most, lol! I hated that damn thing! I'm still undecided on the rear, part of me wants to use the matching lip, and part of me wants an LSS rear. The RK rear lip will do the same as the front, by which I mean it sticks out a bit far from the bumper, which is nothing some cutting, heating, and epoxy can't take care of. I think I may still grab that rear lip from Andy if he still has it and see what I can do.

Spring time should be fun...I have a RK Sport Import Fighter front bumper sitting in my garage that I'm currently doing an 03+ retrofit to...pics to come soon of that!

Yuuuuum that lip looks so good. It's a shame that lowering the car makes driving a hassle! It still looks dang good tho!

I also like the beat up look posted above me . Seriously! That would be a cool theme for a car. It looks so evil .
