now what do i have to do to make this front bumper fit on my car ? please input all you want . thanks for all the help guys in advance.

[sanblaster]

I won't be much of a help to you but I actually like the original trunk with that wing on your before pic. Also put some lights on your bumper with a black grill. Nice car and good luck with whatever you do to it.

[dannyboy17]

keep it the way it is and sell me the msp bumper :-D
local pick up!

[brealmp3]

i would say put some grill mesh in there or an intercooler! that would help.

[boostdprotegelx]

alright. actually..i did exactly what you want to do. ..i had the bc2 kit.hated it. now i have the msp bumper w/ dg lip..

you'll need the bumper, the bumper reinforcement(check ebay daily for this. i got one for CHEAP.)...and i think the splash guards/fender wells are different. go to JMBaggie for this. he's a great help and did wonders for pricing and my stuff... otherwise. you're good as gold. it's much better and much more durable.

if you wanna go a bit different. get the dg CF lip...it would look ggood.

[NOTSPCY]

what are the splash guards ? and can you get me part numbers. Lol yea i know you did this to your car and i saw your thread kinda pushed me in this direction i was kinda in between . but now i think i am 100 % sure what i wanna do . i got the bumper from a fellow msp owner b4 he totaled the car . my car doesnt have the reinforcement already ? if i do a search on ebay what should i search for exactly ? any and all help would be great!!!!!

[JCell]

Correct, you'll need the reinforcement bar and the new splashguards

the slash guards are about 30 bucks each at gunther, the reinformcement bar is about 150

[NOTSPCY]

[NOTSPCY]

you dont happen to have the part # for the reinforcement that i need do you . ? i am gonna call some people i know and get some quotes for the time being . ill keep you posted thank you so much .

[boostdprotegelx]

nah i don't have that part number because i didn't need it. but if you search that thread i told you about. it might have a picture/item number there.

[mickeyreategui]

i'm going to do the same thing, but get a p5 bumper with the carbon fiber lip. how do you think it will look with the wings west sideskirts and rear lip.

[NOTSPCY]

shouldnt look bad .. why dont you want the wings west bumper? there cant be to much difference between the 2 is there they look similar ... i just need a change .

[baconbitz]

I would say definately go with the MSP/P5 front bumper and the dg lip. Should be badass on a white car.

[mickeyreategui]

the wings west bumper is not fitting any more good, has to many gaps (due to hitting things), still thinking of leaving the fender flars on with the p5 bumper if they line up.

[joker1977]

PM sent.

[sam1]

cant you just cut your oem reinforcement bar down to fit the msp bumper?

btw...nice looking pro! mine looks almost identical to your before pic, except with no body kit, and ive got black rims and blacked out tails/side markers

[Mr. Win]

How about you actually finish what you got. Put some quality mesh in there and lower the car. You already spent the money, now you have to spend the little more to make it look good.

Maybe even get some quality rims or start piecing a turbo kit together.

You can, thats what I did. But its a pain in the ass and it sill doesnt come out perfect, better off to go with the MSP reinforement. Im acually looking for one myself now.

[D-rock240]

I'm not a big fan of the BC2 kit, but yours does look nice in white. As senorcorwin said, why not lower it and get some mesh for the front. And some fog lights in the fog light holes would help.

[NOTSPCY]

its sits to low as it is and if i lower it ill end up messing up the front end i really like how joka's car looks and i want to go with that design in the fron of my car .

[gone_fishin]

Out of all the body kits for the protege, I like the BC2 kit, and I really like what you've done with the ride. Very clean. But, I do think that the msp front with the DG lip would look better. It was originally designed for the lines of the car-- and to that effect I think it looks much more fitting.

THANK U ! (first)

[Mr. Win]

God forbid anyone does anything different in this place... You have spent all this money but you want to redo it to look like someone elses car. Why ask for opinions if you already know what you want to do?

I suggest planning out what your going to do and getting a serious cost breakdown how to do it right.

[NOTSPCY]

well first of all i wasnt sure if i was goin to do it or not . second there is only so much one can do to be original. i mean i am sure someone out there has a car that looks similar to mine do i care no ? to each his own . I mean i have had my car for sometime now and pretty much ever since i got it i had the bc2 kit on it . I am sure there are other people out there that once they have something one way for a certain amount of time that they get tired of it and want something different. Not to mention i go to alot of car shows around town and you can only win so much with the same set up . They like to see creativity and change . I dont want my car to be exactly like joka1 but i used him as a example of what i want as far as my front end to be . I hope he * joka1 * doesnt mind . So whats the big deal if i feel the need for change . its not your money . I asked for a opinion and i have gotten them . not to mention all the help and advice from other people on the forum * damian * with how to and what parts i need. I am goin to do it right i tend to not to things to cut corners. I am getting the bumper soon and working on gettin the reinforcement as soon as i can find it for a reasonable price with out taken me broke. I was told to look online/ebay so thats what i am going to do . being able to take your time and do it right is the key !

BC2 FTL.

Your new plan is definitely better than what u have right now imo. Good luck with everything, and keep us updated.

Thank you . how did you get a pic like that for your sig ? I love it . It was also a factor in my descion to change to that bumper. believe it or not . your sig helped me decide on what i wanted to do .

[Mr. Win]

I have seen very few well put together BC2 kits, most are half assed I'd love to see someone do it right.

But i do know i could have used a grill . oh well .on to bigger and better things. thanks for the comments tho senorcorwin*

Hehe, thanx alot man. I had a buddy of mine do a photoshoot of my car, and taking moving pics was one of them. He has a very nice camera that takes sweet ass pics, as u can see :D I have a thread of the shoot in the Pic threads.

Im glad i helped in making a decision for ya....

[D-rock240]

I need to have a friend do that, motion pics look hot!

[NOTSPCY]

ok here is a quick photoshop from my chop shop man Javo *thanks again * keep in mind this is just a quick chop . tell me what you think of this on my car...

[jeg0024]

I think I like that a lot better, the bc2 kit just doesnt look like it goes with the flow of the car, I dont know how well that bumper matches up with the bc2 side and rear skirts though. It might look better though if you get a lower grille and some fog lights or something to fill in those holes in the bc2 bumper, it will save you a lot of money.

[ANTIXPRO]

Ok, this might now be what you want to hear, but I liked the before pic b4 the carbon hood and trunk lid. But since you have that done already...maybe you just need a new paint scheme or graphics. Try tieing in the side of the car with the carbon pieces you have. I think you did a great job with the BC2 kit.

[sanblaster]

Sorry bro, I don't like it. Doesn't flow anymore. Skirts don't look right.

[boostdprotegelx]

do a better photochop or get new side skirts. as that stands, it's a bad alignment from the front-back.
