Hi,

I saw this front end, not sure if it is Fiberglassed or just a different bumper.


Has anyone tired to fiberglass the stock front bumper to fill in the gap in the middle before?

Here is a video of the car: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpnLJGYwVRk

What do you mean by fill in the missing middle gap? You mean fill in the parts where the horizontal slits are so it's solid?

I think he's talking about how the TTE lip fills the bottom middle part...

Isnt the stock front bumper urethane not fiberglass? Thats what it looked like on my friend gs bumper. They have a special material used to patch that back up. Its similar to putting a fiberglass bumper back together but has some diff processes in there. The reinforcing mat is diff and the resin used is also diff.

hope i can help here..



sorry for the blown up pics.. i dont know how to resize on this mac computer..
also low quality pics from my digi cam.. it's all i got.

anyway.. this was a fiberglass custom kit.. i received the front bumper with the middle opening all open.. i was able to use my factory foglights.. i cut the inserts off of my front bumper and added it onto the custom bumper.. it looks a bit cleaner this way imo.. this was actually meant for a turbo set up due to the intercooler.. so cause i didnt have turbo.. so i just did it this way..

Thanks for all the replies everyone!!! Yes, the gap that the TTE lip fills in. But i want to make mine cus i dont want to spend $300+ for it :P

Sorry, let me clear up what i meant.

Stock bumper:

See how the bottom of the front bumber has a gap. and the Right and Left sides hang lower. Kinda like it got its 2 front teeth punched out.

Bumper without the gap...yes i know its not the stock, but I'm wanting to modify my stock bumper to get a similar look. Any Tips???


Hopefully you guys can give me some tips. I plan on posting a DIY if it turns out nice.

It's a Junction Produce front bumper. Either buy one, or take these pictures to a body shop and have them build your front bumper like this. You can also buy a TTE lip and have them mold it to the bumper. Fills it out nice.

I heavily modified a Greddy lip and molded it in.

Like everyone has said, that's a JP bumper. The only problem with what you're asking is that it might cost a grip to get that done compared to buying the lip and having someone mold it in properly. In the end, I think you'd be better off by buying it and then molding it in rather than trying to build a filler from scratch... although it might be pretty awesome if you can pull it off!

-Future-

with the money and time you'll spend molding your stock bumper, you'll most likely save $$$ just buying a lip.

Thanks. It's just sitting in storage right now with the Profounds.
