#91002, "ebay front bumper"




          



i just received this today. looks like new with no scratches, primer is smooth. the only problem is that one of the mounting tabs that will get cut off to fit the intercooler anyway is cracked.

i am still debating on going to the 2gb headlights. the bumper will fit with a slight overlap on the lights. the one pic i saw on dsmtuners of a 97 bumper with 96 lights didnt look too bad. i will have to wait and see i guess


not too bad for 100 shipped

Pick up some aftermarket projectors, throw on a HID kit spray paint that sucker and your rocking.

Is that an old school gsxr in the background?

no actually its an old school (1994 to be exact) ZX9

i painted it myself so I am thinking about doing the bumper myself as well

here is a shot of how DHL packed the bumper (not to mention a better shot of my bike)

the delivery wasnt bad considering all that was covering it was tape and bubble wrap

no the sellers name was qualitydiscountautoparts

overall i am very happy with it

i will probably go ahead and get some black projectors
i dont like projectors because i dont think that they put out enough light but oem 2gb lights are amazingly expensive

The 95-96 headlights will fit, but it looks horrible, trust me. My RS has a 99 front with the 95 headlights, it looks wrong..


'95 GSX - Big16G ~ Leaks, but atleast it runs.

Hey, I have projectors and my stock 97-99 headlights (cleared out). The projectors' output isn't that bad. It's just that between the low beams and high beams, there's not much difference.

My dad cut off my harnesses too close though, so I can never reuse stock headlights. emoji

did you guys' bumpers have that triangle indentation for the emblem? i'd kinda rather go without the emblem so i was thinking of just having it filled. just wondering what you guys did with it. oh yea, did you guys get that one piece in the main opening painted black like the real OEM ones or did you just paint the entire bumper? it looks like kinda a pain and probalby more expensive to have it painted black separately...

i bought the emblem from mitsubishipartspeople.com
12 bucks so i figured it was the easiest way to take care of the triangle dent thing

since i am not sure how much a paint job for the bumper is going to be or how much of the center is going to get cut of for the hahn fmic i will just go with what comes easier at the time

plus i think i will just spend the cash for oem lights

i really hate going against myself but i got these off of ebay today


i wrote the store and they said that it uses the stock 9005/9006 bulbs.
i figured that i would keep the reply and if it comes it needing H1/H3 i can get my money back

some sylvania silverstars might help
but geez have you seen the price of oem headlights

Lol, I've got those projectors. They use H1 and H3 bulbs if they're like mine.

And I have OEM headlights just sitting here and I'm in TX. Lol.

You will like the 2GB look nonetheless.

not sure if their the same but those look like the ones i've got and mine were direct plug and play no cutting of any wires,

kinda starting to wish i had gotten that bumper although i guess i needed a little something standing out in the front to balance out my rear although if i was you i would go to the turbo spoiler now too, it would look sweet

If only they had 97-98 talon front bumpers on E-bay. Then Bumpintalon wouldnt be in his constant quest for one.

Fiberglass is rigid and will crrack and break if you try to twist it excessively. Urethane is very flexable and will not break very easily, almost a flexible plastic type material.

i think it is the plastic thing then because it looks and feels like abs plastic and was wrapped so tight when i got it that the edges were bent over and then snapped back to normal when i unwrapped it

got the same bumper, it is urethane.

dosen't explode into a million fiberglass peices when i accidently hit a speedbump at a bad angle.

great bumper for the price, it fit perfectly, all the wholes are pre-drilled. And it was manufactured in Taiwan, TDM BAYBEE!!
