Question: Which Bumper Cover?
Title: And my bumper question returns...
Post by: crystal on January 26, 2005, 10:35:04 AM
Well, I've got some nose work planned for the bird and I'm back to my bumper question again...

So what do you guys think:

normal Sport Bumper:

Or t/c bumper:

Call me crazy, and I think you already have called me that, but I like the sport bumper on that a little bit better.

I love the fact that the sport bumper doesn't cover the fenders at all, but I think the t/c bumper looks a little more aggressive.

Now I have to take in to consideration the mods I'm doing, and I know I don't want my bumper to be the main focus of the nose of the car.

T/C bumper cover was put on after an accident since it was already painted ;)

I like the Turbo bumper, but with the Sport nose.

I like the Turbo-Coupe bumper cover.I like that it covers the bottom half of the front fenders and smoothes it out up front,plus,I had room to install my fog lights.It's also a little longer and more pointed.I did keep the standard grille,though.It can get VERY hot here in south central Oklahoma (112 degrees),and I need all the air through the radiator I can get.I have my grille painted body color.

Sport cover...much cleaner and will not detract the eye from your other mods.

TC cover is FAR too busy.

I'm gonna have to agree with the majority on this one.  Sport bumper looks smoother and more like it belongs on the front of your car.

Thanky guys, you've been a big help.

Problem though. The sport cover is being held hostage behind a rock and a 4 foot wall of snow...

well nothing a little heat and leverage can't help.

well, it's dug out now cuz uh... I just blew something in the turbo coupe and the tires don't move anymore so I had to dig out my spare 8.8 just in case the 7.5 is gone.
