#26533, "banshee bumper... need info ??(pics)"


          

I am thinking of buying this bumper. The price I am getting for it is $340 shipped.
Is this a good price?
Do you know any other place to buy it from?
And anyone with the bumper already, does any special fitting need to be done to it for it to fit the 97-99 body Eclipse?
The bumper only comes in fiberglass or do they make it in urethane ?

Finally what do you think of the bumper?
(Vector Racing has it)

Yeh the bumper comes with its own custom lights for the bumper. Those lights are off an Acura Integra clear corners. The site list them for $30. So not to bad, I like that added extra flavor to the bumper.

That bumper sticks out at least 3 inches in front, so you have to be very careful driving it. Drbalazo had it and he had to back out of every driveway (such as parking lots etc).

I know someone who has that front end and with his car dropped I think its 4"...just made it look so much better. He is actually a 2gnt member but ive never seen him post a pic of it. But yah that bumper looks 10 X better in person, that pic does it no justice. Very good choice...

i've never personally been a fan of those bumpers...and yeah they are only fiberglass, and yes, listen to marcus!

I was sooo happy when drbalazo (daniel) got the sensei bumper after his banshi. And I also think it is overpriced for what you are paying bud. Just for one bumper, and its fiberglass? I understand paying that much if it were urethane, but...I'm just being honest with you and I understand if you dont' like my opinion, but hey, I've done things to my car that people don't like emoji

Yah, your right Myke, the bumper is damn expensive for fiberglass. I was thinkin of just savin more and getting a complete bodykit. But, I figure just get the front and see how things work out. I am not too worried about driving and sratching the bumper b/c around where I live its flat. My drive is no problem to get and down, even with the Banshee I think. I am dropped on H&R sports so shouldnt be to bad.

And Myke, I have to drive the new banshee bumper before I get it painted right, just making sure.

Worst could happen the bumper sux and I could sell it for that same price I bought it for. Right? emoji

bwahahah I was reading jason's post and i was like WTF???!! hahahah

Yes, I would definitely drive it around installed with no paint for at least 2-3 days...just for fitment purposes and to make sure it will flew and move in its place all it can before that paint is slapped on...Better to eff up and drill more holes on a unpainted unprepped surface than a beautiful shiny glass-like finish, no?

Well if your area is really flat and you dont have to worry much about that sort of thing...go for it man...i have never seen that bumper in person, so who am I to tell...But if you ever travel...or go to a gf's house or have to pick someone up in an unknown area...CRRRCK is all u will hear when you see a spot in the road you dread...happened to me back in the day on the stocker even...so it just goes to show it don't matter what kinda front you got...just be careful!!! emoji
