Does anybody have this?



I wanted the RLM bumper but seems you can't get them anymore. The ones from bodykits are supposed to be the same, but it's hard to go by this pic because it looks like a photoshop.

So, anybody have any real pics of this bumper?

 

Looks slightly different from the RLM bumper.

 

Here ya go!

 

Thats the bodykits front bumper, correct? Not RLM.

Did you shave the bottom?

 

If this is good quality I want it, let us know Majestic!

 

very clean... but i think i am going to go w/ the stillen lip i have and finally get it painted and and put it on soon

 

JG1, That chopped hood scoop looks great. I wish someone would come up with that for out cars.

 

I like that too!

 

Thats the kind of thing that could be fabbed into our existing hood.

Where did you get the diamond mesh for the lower bumper?

 

Storytime!!! The bumper you see in that pic is the original photoshop that Luke did for Redlinemax. I worked with RLM to develop that bumper. They worked with bodykits to do the mold etc...since then RLM has gone out of business and www/bodykits.org is continuing to sell the bumper as their own.

And yes Majestic shaved the bottom becuase the bumper simply sits too low, the plan was to redsign the bumper a bit but then RLM went under. I believe he got his mesh from Active Tuning, the guys who make his grill...

Finished pics:

 

Gotcha.

What grill is that that you have on your car?

How hard is it to shave the bottom of the bumper? Something that I could do or has to be done by a body shop?

 

i've seen that bumper on bodykits.org....
the only downside to it is that its made of fiberglass... wouldve been alot better if it was made from poly.uerathane(cantspell)

 

whats the downsides to fiberglass?

more prone to cracking?

 

**** yeah, u hit a fiberglass bumper on something and its gonna crack for sure. Urethane will just bend, although the paint would probably still crack. mmmm I really want this front bumper, what fogs did u all go with?? I know Jsmith & Chern got the expensive ones, il have to pass on those..

 

I'm still curiuos about the shaving part.

I wonder if bodykits can shave the bottom a little prior to sending...hmm

 

Majestic_MAx05,

Exactly how much did you shave off the bottom of the bumper?

What did you use as a guide...just tape?

I talked to bodykits and they said just use a dremmel w/ a cutting wheel. They said they don't think it'll look right though because of a lip on the bottom of the bumper?

Also, did you finish off the cut edge somehow?

 

wayyyyyyyyyyy tooooooo mannnnnnny speed bumps and big curbs etc... where live/work... just going to slap on my stillen lip ive have for a while... it was a gift from teh gf... never put it on LOL

 

Not bad majestic didnt realize you chopped off the bottom lip, makes for some needed ground clearance.

 

Thank you sir!! Yeah everything that jsmithole said is correct!!

 

I had a body shop cut it. It was cut like 1 1/2"

I hadto cut it because after i got it newly painted and installed I chipped it coming out of their shop!! So they cut it! Here in LA i need that and I havent had any problems with it.

 

Yeah the shop tried to leave a lil of the lip on the bottom but it looks fine to me.

 

Ohh and i had them add a lil more fiber glass for a little more strenght just incase i hit something.

 

Was that an even 1 1/2" all the way around is or does it taper?

Did they charge a lot to cut it?

Really close to ordering.....just gotta figure out if I should cut it or let someone else.

 

it was all the way around.

I didnt get charged a lot but it all depends on the shop too.

I try to do most of the work on my car but when it comes down to something of this nature i just had some one do it. Just so I wouldnt screw it up ya know

 

Dennis, I need to get that bodyshop info from you again, may have top drive up to your hood and get it done finally!!!

 

If you don't mind me asking, what did they charge you total for the shaving and painting?

500 ish?

(Just trying to get an around-a-bout number so I don't overpay around here)

 

x2... what did they charge you to shave it

 

X3, bumper looks hot, tired of scrapping and if I lose an inch it will be perfect. Current clearance is 4" !!!

Actually I may do it myself then use liquid nails to reinforce the back side...

 

J is it me or was your bumper shaved also. Looks different on the bottom of the prototype verse the painted version???

 

That hood is sexy, PERIOD!!!
