Mold Fiberglass to OEM Bumper?

[LSiNtegraDB7]

Just a quick question for you guys, would it be possible to mold a fiberglass bumper piece to a cut portion of an OEM front bumper?

I'm toying with the idea of cutting up an OEM 'teggy front bumper right below the headlight line, and joining it with a fiberglass S14 URAS or Origin front. Would this be possible? What sort of material/bonding would I have to use?

Obviously a quick mockup but you get the idea:

Opinion noted, but question not answered.

Because I hate the wings west honestly. If done right I think this would work just fine. I probably wont end up going through with it but I wanted to collect some info.

I get bored fast lol. ViS is getting old.

Rice Don't think it works doodz

Anything is possible. Check measurements. Lots of body shop time. And shoot, send me the lip, I'll take good care of it for ya :thumbs up

I don't fully get it. BTW off topic but you do still have those Buddyclub wheels. I really want to get a set of those. Bump for the 301

No I like that one, just not the look I'm going for. Hell I might just have some fun with it and do a slight s14 conversion

Kinda like an aggressive JDM front haha

Do the two cars widths match up? I'll take your lip off your hands :lol:

Not exactly but you can get conversion fenders and a hood, then just get the headlights on and pick a front.

You wouldn't want the lip, its cracked in 3 places and held together with zipties. Not to mention massive cracks in the clear coat lol.

but it wont come out clean, which in the honda game its very important to be cleaned or you'll get flamed. I got flamed because of my stock front bumper being a shade off from the rest

lol then you should look at my fender in that pic above, I rattlecanned it and its like a shade darker then the rest of the car. Noone ever says anything about it hha

I would probably brace the rear and try some fiberglass matting with that Duramix 4240. A guy on G2IC did that a while ago when he flush mounted that integra emblem from the G3 into his bumper. I used it when I did my front lip and that shit is hard as a rock. Just get it nice and rough before you start laying the fiberglass or Duramix.

i actually think it looks dope. it probably would look better with an JDM front though since it kind of resembles a silvia already.

if you could get it done, that'd be sick.

Thank you! The one person with an informative post!

Thanks! I agree. In the end, if I actually went through with it, I would probably just do the s14 front like in the pic above though. I'm not sure.
