Opinons Wanted!

Here's what I'm thinking. I want to take off my front bumper and put on a second gen TT bumper and cut out the crosshairs. What do you guys think?

1st gen:



2nd gen:

Re: Opinons Wanted!

so...if you do that you have to do a headlight conversion too, right?

i'm just a little confused becasue both of those appear to be 1st gen bumpers...

Re: Opinons Wanted!

Now that I look at it, it isn't a 2nd gen. It's a modified 1st gen.

Damnit, nevermind.

Re: Opinons Wanted!

that's a first gen bumper, cut and "pasted" with a 99 3000GT front bumper. It's a custom job. It's not a 2g stealth bumper.

Yeah, I've been looking at front ends all day and you have to be right. Whoever did the work did a great job. I think they took a '99 center opening and put it a 1st gen and shaved the accent line. Nice job, I'll bet it was expensive.

Re: Opinons Wanted!

that is nice, actually overall its really really nice. I've been wondering though, kinda to hijack, but keep it along the same lines. Would the 2nd gen rear bumper have issues being mounted to the 1st gen stealths?

i like the luevers or watever u prefer to call em.

Re: Opinons Wanted!

IMO the modded bumper is ugly. they did a great job doing it, but it looks too pretentious. it looks like a funky eclipse bumper that is too high up.

Re: Opinons Wanted!

yeah jrinks car is stupid fast though. mid 11's at like 125 on pump gas all day long. I like his bumper but his alone. Most ppl who cut the bumper dont take the time to mold it and paint it like his. His car won best overall 3/s at NG IIRC.

Re: Opinons Wanted!

the 2g rear bumpers bolt right up.

It's converting to a 3000Gt rear bumper (on an r/t or tt model) that's hard. the es/base models are a direct swap with a 3000Gt rear bumper, those are hard to convert to the r/t stealth rear bumpers (because of the tail lights)
