anyone remember that chop of the new m3 bumper on a civic
i know its possible to make a custom kit, but how do u go about doing it
if your going to spend 500+ on a kit thats going to need work done to it, why not just get it right the first time
how do you go about making a kit, and does anyone have that chop of the m3 bumper?
thanks

Of course you could always get the Carbon Fiber M3 bumper from Fiber Images. It only costs $900. lol

Rep Power: 383 if you got all that carbon fiber stuff how long would it last without fading and should it be used on a daily driver? too bad it would cost an arm and a leg though

Rep Power: 424 Just from a curiosity standpoint...
Call the BMW dealer and find out what the cost to buy the actual bumper would be. Then find out what it would cost to mold it to a Civic. Do realize though that by doing this, you'll have to canibalize the stock bumper to get the top part that slopes up to the headlights and grille... since the M3 actually has a 'bumper' not just the stupid cover with a bar underneath.
Even if you can get a shop to make one for you, they're gonna need the real one to get a good mold... so if you can just use it... then do that. It'll save you the tooling costs.
