Squiden Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 ^ Mod the bumper as cut it all up? No thanks... I'd rather not hack apart a perfectly good bumper, especially if these become available for $45!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01rs25 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Cut it all up? It doesn't look like too terribly much work would need to be done to make it fit. But then again. I don't have an '08 so I don't know. Slammed more than your girlfriend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imprezsing04 Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 Why not use the JDM one? Just mod the bumper to fit! Ha, man I thought you were being sarcastic at first. The pic that I posted of the 2 vents, w1cked tried to hack them up and make them fit but he gave up on trying. I can see why too. Fyi for everyone, the usdm reflectors are screwed in, the jdm vents snap in. The jdm bumper, where the vent snaps into, are a lot bigger than the usdm openings. The openings in the usdm bumper are pretty much non existent. Even if you do cut the usdm holes to be bigger and accommodate the clips, the jdm bumper is shorter in length, so the bumper curves quicker than the usdm's longer bumper. So the shape of the curvature is totally different. Also, the shape on the end is slightly different as well. I've been busy and haven't caught up with the progress with the guy. Ill try and talk to him this weekend and ill probably take more pics of the openings, the backing of the jdm vent vs usdm reflector, etc. Also, I think he had to take a few more measurements on my car but I haven't been available. Ill see if I can push at least having the prototype ready to show you guys within the next week or two. Thanks for the bump and I will keep you guys posted. Thanks! I really hope these come out nice!

Imprezsing04 Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 Happy 4th of july! Sorry I've been busy this weekend and so was the guy I've been talking to about this. But ill keep you guys posted. Don't worry, I'm not abandoning this project. Seems like a lot of ppl are interested...22 ppl so far and I want them for myself too if that's all I get out of this. I don't even really care to make any money off this so long as it won't be too much of a hassle for payments, shipping, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cholmes1 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) If it is not too late I would like to be in on this GB (assuming less than $60). I am certain this can be done, it is just a matter of finding someone good enough with plastics to develop a form. Either way it will be awesome when done! Just let me know when and where to send the $$ when they are ready. Edited July 5, 2011 by cholmes1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may require you to sign on as a vendor in order to sell these on here. Or you could talk to msprank about pairing up with infamous performance for distribution.

Imprezsing04 Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 I figured i would need to become a vendor. People would also feel more comfortable buying too. I dont have a product yet so i would probably make another thread when i actually have the prototype and become a vendor You may want to PM tide.

Please add yourself (I added the last 3 posters), copy and paste, this will help the OP. Of course this list is not confirmed because we do not know the price so some may back out... 1.Imprezing04 2.

Imprezsing04 Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 Thanks guys for helping and supporting I spoke to the guy today and he needs my car to do some more tests and measurements. Im going out of town monday-wednesday so im gonna be leaving my car with him. hopefully there will be something to show by Thursday. He has been trying to work on it but he told me "it's harder than it looks" ...lol Lets keep the interest coming! And remember, the first "GB" will basically be my cost to get it from him plus shipping. Im making nothing from this. All the coordinating, payment, shipping, etc. is all my time. But if there is enough interest for a second GB, i may ask for another $5 on top or something so that my set could be free at least. I already have to pay for a set that i promised W1CKED. He will probably get the first shipped set and i will get his feedback and then offer it to everyone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imprezsing04 Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 I should ask him to make them look EXACTLY like the JDM ones? Actually, it does look amazing. Just wondering if anyone had any ideas to make them different. Like, only 3 parts separating instead of 4. Maybe that will be too complicating though... looks good as-is i guess...JDM ones...(NOT my USDM ones im trying to get made) http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z314/imprezsing04/Exhaust_K2Gear3.jpg http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z314/imprezsing04/Nyomi_029.jpg http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z314/imprezsing04/DSC00746.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cholmes1 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Stick with the actual JDM bumper vent for the model. That is what everyone has signed on for...From previous GB threads I think as soon as you ask for opinions or options you can get yourself in to a mess really quickly. Best, C.H.
