Before & After Bumper Tuck Pics?

I think they would look good without bumpers at all.

Some fool tried that, and smoothed everything underneath, it looked like 3 different kinds of ass.

untucked bumpers are only rated for like 15MPH so basically they do not protect you for anything more than a light bump. Like maybe when someone backs into your car backing out of a spot in the parking lot. Which with tucked bumpers and if that was to happen its probably not going to do much anyways.

[ebelements]

Well. Now they're at zero mph. They might as well be paper mache.

Heaviest tuck on an early car possible. Looks great, completely unsafe in every way. I love it. Takes me like 20 min to get the one bolt that holds it on threaded.

Tucked bumpers aren't going to give you any less protection in a collision than if they were untucked. Diving boards are rated for 5mph, that's it. Ask me how I know. :D

Just lowered would look alot better. The wheels fit the very 80s styling of the kit.

Full Kamei kit, NICE!

^^^^^Do you have any more shots of that spoiler?

Finally finished the tuck with some paint, both on the plastic strips and the aluminum. I just need to get it lowered and some wheels!

I was thinking today after looking at it, you could easily make one. All you would need is one of the front bumper trim pieces from a diving board car, doesn't matter which side. Just measure the width of that license plate area, and cut a piece out of the spare trim, from the flat section in the front next to the turn signals. You'd just need to fab up some mounts, do some light sanding on the edges to clean it up, and it would look great.

there actually isnt enough plastic lengthwise after the turn signal cut out. it would end up being too short. i guess if you were really desperate you could cut up two bumper trim peices and do it.

which i might do... im a DIYourselfer. Nobody but me, myself, and i have touched my car. nice to know im the one making it run....

[Jand3rson]

Making a way to mount it wouldn't be hard, you could just plastic weld a couple of small blocks of plastic to the backside, remove the bumper, and screw it in from the back with some washers.

Yep, or if you don't want to fabricate mounts then cut the bottom part of
the lic. plate holder until you find something better ...
