#91761, "Damn, there are no good kits for our cars anymore..."




          

over the past 7 years i've had 6 different front bumpers on my car, most of which i loved at the time. most recently (when i totalled the car) i had the sensei on it, and replaced it with a bomex....which i promptly removed and sent back when i saw how long it was in the front. so now i have a dilemma...for the first time i'm shpping for a new bumper, and nothing appeals to me.

i've owned the following, in order:

- erebuni shogun (invader) 1998-1999
- buddy club (had one specially made before they were actually sold, using rick (raizin's) mold. 1999
- blitz (had this one back in 99-00 before the movie came out)
- drift (had it for a few days, then took it off) 2000
- sensei 2001
- bomex 2004

the only one of those i would consider getting again is the sensei...
are there any new kits being developed that anyone knows about, that arent available yet? i could wait a few months if necessary. looking at vis, wholehyper, etc, i don't see anything that wasn't already available 2 years ago....where are the new designs?

i might have to go with a stock 97-up bumper...this sucks.

2Gb bumper works just great for me, i dont like any others

I just wish my car was as fast as it was loud. people tell me i should use my sub to push it, it might go faster.

stillen! even though its kinda mild for your car, and the fact that its getting kinda played out. If not, then get a bumper and use that along with a custom creation to it to make something different.

import a Japanese front bumper for a different car and mod it to fit on your Eclipse... C-west makes some crazy bumpers, so does Ings, but they are expensive. http://www.japanparts.com/ is probably not the greatest place to buy from but they have a lot of different kits for different cars.

I'm a big fan of the BC2, Stillen, OEM 97-99, and R32 front bumpers, respectively.

Im going with stillen on mine in a few weeks. If its looks good on mine, it will look good on yours. Drift really isnt bad either.
