Where is the official tucked db bumpers thread?

[Kozworth]

I am sorry for posting this, but ive been googling all sorts of terms and cannot find a good thread. I find a thread with 1 picture, I remember there was a thread filled with tons of tucked early bumpers.

I was wondering if we could start one, or if anyone could find me the link that would be greatly appreciated.

Zinno would be best, but anything works. Reason is, I do like my all black shroud and bumpers, but sem trim paint does chip and was looking for something i didnt have to touch up often, so I was wondering what the stock aluminum tucked on a zinno looked. Or possibly color matched shrouds tucked.

Thanks

That's one tuck, one no tuck.

I was looking more for a picture thread, just with tucked bumpers or possibly before/afters. I noticed a lot of people seemed to request pictures, but no threads really had any pics besides like one pic

I plan on paint matching the bumpers to my car and tucking while refreshing the rubber with sem trim paint...gives the "illusion" of the pb swap without the expense of piecing the parts together and modifications if any.

What I ended up doing was a bumper tuck, with all black bumpers and shrouds.. I got to respray my bumpers soon. But my theory was the look of old vw mk2 big bumpers.


I need to fix how the bumper is more tucked onto one side. I am working on a lip, and might go with a 2.0 vw lip because of its simplicity and ease of availability. Still debating whethor to colormatch or leave black.



For the turns, I was debating respraying them red or black. Only car ive seen red turns is on some acuras, and not sure how well it would look. But figured Id post this to help out others.

These are euro smalls.

I think the dbs look good black with black shrouds instead of color matching.

Yea I was gonna say I wasn't too sure if that gti had big bumps but was the best red frontside photo I could find

Reguardless I was more of a mk3guy unfortunately

After I tucked my bumpers this is the route I went. I got some early model vert trim so its smooth, had them painted to match. I think the outcome was superb. Almost perfectly mimics a plastics bumper. Oh and I kept my bumpers chrome. But now that I have a front euro bumper, to hell with it all lol Pics....
