Just wonding if it's possible and what everyone will think, I've seen the 2nd gen with the whole 3rd gen front (bumper, fenders, hood) but what about just the bumper...
|
I don't think it would go with the lines of the car at all..
You should probably just buy an FD.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png The nicest (and closest) thing I have seen that matches body lines very well is that bumper for the FC that uses the newer FD turn signal / DR lights.. I don't know the name of it though.. I can't remember.. It's in the DG trials video in vosko's (nopistons) video archive. Black TII FC setup for drifting.. In the DG video.. Somebody can help me out here.. |
I agree with colin...... the FD is just a more rounded car than the FC and the FD front just won't fit the shape of the FC. But if you wanna be unique.... i would like to see it.

No, that guy destroyed his mold and got out of making them. My friend up here in New York has the last one that he made. It is a sick bumper though.
|
I love how it looks on that FC in the DG Trials vid.
Quite honestly I love the stock look of an FC.. I'm not big on aftermarket body kits or anything.. But that "rotary extreme" bumper makes me wet my pants it looks so good on that black TII.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/ohmy.png Let me see if I can find a link to voskos site for the video.. |

I liked the second gen that had almost an entire FD fron end (it was purple right)? But I think that just the bumper wouldn't match too very good. If you want try and find some one that has one of those rotary extreme bumpers and see if they want to sell it.
|
The one purple car with fd hood,lights, bumper, and fenders looks crazy.
:o |

From what I have heard that setup was all custom, the hood, fenders, front bumper, everything. But that just goes to show you that it is possible. Looks pretty good if ya ask me.
|
actually... it looks pretty hot
|
yeah i was skeptical at first, but now.......
that looks really ****** hot. |

What a dumbass.I would have paid cash for it.I know people that would be interested in that bumper.Why must people be so dumb? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif
the mold because alot of people said they would buy one, then never did. People talk alot, but when it comes time to pony up the dollars they seem not to have any money anymore. Factor in a couple of assholes who throw out comments like "wow thats alot of money for a bumper" and you get the idea why no one bothers with custom ****. |
i think chuck was pretty upset when people was saying it looked like crap. So he destroyed the mold.
There is no money to be made in 2nd gen stuff... Maybe 15 years ago there was, not anymore. Ask Dave at fc3s.org how many people bought carbon fibre hoods. Everyone left and right were saying, i want one. He he made it happen and next thing you know he sells less then 1/2 a dozen with thousands invested. |
That's so true though. It's a shame the FC market is dominated by lowballers.
I know alot of other people who fall under the same scenario. And I don't think that FD front end on the FC flows with the look of the car at all really. Yeah it looks good, but doesn't go with the back half of it.. |
I have seen pics of an FC with an FD front end. I think it looks awesome cuz whoever did it did it right and made the body flow. Unless the altered the stock body lines past the fenders.....

no one noticed the sr engine in the black car huh?
|
that car was on sale awhile ago for about 10k i think.
a black sr rx7 anyway |
I think he wanted more than that, but yeah, it was that car.
|
he got $10k for that car???
|
Something like that. He went on the evil forum and told everyone it was for sale. I never really liked that car though, primarily cause of the red top in it.
|
He had a series of rotary engines in there that kept blowing up. The first time I saw it, it had a pp rew in there.
