ZK GTR bumper test fit...

Well it's been awhile since I have done any modding and this is what I have been waiting for to freshen up the ride! And luckily I will be able to use my mesh that matches the grill on this bumper.







Hopefully I can get it into paint in the next couple of weeks, also have a new 07 rear since mine met a pole....

Thanks Edgar! (ZK)

Yeah it fits really good, better than the RLM for sure. And NO MORE fiberglass!! Let me know if you are interested in my old one...and I'll have to get a side shot.

Looks nice, after paint and a little filler to even out the bottom it'll be a real head turner.

Looks good, but i think the RLM bumper did fit your car better with all the other mods you did.

Fits better in the sense that it suits your car with the mods you've already done... The EK bumper is nice, but IMO it doesn't look as defined as the RLM on your car specifically.... just my 2cents...

Looks really sharp man! One thing I don't like is the little gap under the grill but what are you going to do? Get some paint on that and it will be very sharp!

the GTR bumper looks good..very aggressive...other than the grille not fitting too well along the bottom Im surprised how tight the fitment is along the bottom of the headlights...overall very nice

Looks really low and very easy to scrape going over speed bumps. I'd watch out. It does look really good though!

What are your plans to address the molding imperfections on the bottom lip? I looks like the molding probs I have.





I'll be getting mine into the shop in August with the stillen side skirts, rear lip and a repaint. Anything you do to make this a better bumper would benefit me once I go to the shop.
Thanks
Kev

Not the whole kit, just the front...

Been driving that low for years, I got it dialed....

They are pretty much re-doing the entire face of the bumper in the shop. All imperfections will be gone and the lines will all be sharpened up a bit. I wanted it to be perfect and a bit custom.


Here's some pics in process and I should be picking it up in the next couple of days...

are they round lights and if so how much of the back can you see from the side. I ask because I want to put some pretty big driving lights there but I was afraid of how it would look from the side

Dude those touch ups are exactly what it needed, looked just a little bit "bulbous" at first, kind of to big or round or something. Sharpening it up, kind of slimming it a bit, cant wait to see the finished product.

Looks good J i see the work you puttin in , thats the only problem with these bumpers even when purchased new you still have to put in some time to perfect them. Thats why some people always ask why so much to have it painted its very time consumin to have it prepped. like they say you get what you pay for. cant wait to see it finished.

Love the GTR bumper... Is this one of the newer ones designed for dropped cars? How much ground clearance do you have?
