Custom bumpers??
alright, i'm gettin kinda bored with my stock bumpers. i've modified the front by cutting all that stuff out and putting in mesh and now i wanna do something else to give it a little more aggressive look. thinking about fiberglass.. maybe make my own custom lip? how would i do this? i've done some fiberglass work but that was just covering up holes... not making something. throw all ur ideas at me of what i can do to the bumper. (I cannot buy any bodykits or anything because lack of money) so plz dont suggest that
 hehe and if anyone has any pics of custom bumpers with homemade lips and stuff lemme see them hehe. oh yea, my cars an 89 Hatch and has been lowered 1.8 inches already so i cant make anything huge under there.

40 bucks? lol um i guess you could go get some cardboard and cut it out to the shape that you want the lip to look like then fiberglass over that and sand primer and paint. if you do it please take your time and do it the right way don't rush through it. peace

ok this may sound ghetto but ive seen it done and it looks really good.
mount a piece of styrofoam underneath your bumper and cut into it in any design you choose, then fiberglass over your new design, then paint it, it looks very good, and its very cheap to do.

that doesnt sound ghetto really, if I shape it i know it'll b perfect to how i want it and the fiberglass will just help and make it stonger. these ideas are better than the home depot lawn edging on h-t

the only bad part about it is if you hit something, it will just tear off the section of styrofoam so you'll have like a hole in the middle of it all.

yea didnt think of that. because i'm gonna fiberglass it right to my bumper and mould it in so it looks like one piece i think just the fiberglass with crack and break and i could just re fiberglass it, it prolly wont be permanent tho, just something for looks right now
