i decided to chop up my oem bumper and my integra front kit, the kit will be called extreme-hybrid, why? its an extreme front that will have integra turn signals, anyone interested if i make it, it will be in fiberglass. i might change the design a little bit, liek no bar thingy in the middle

that's pretty sweet! how about instead of having the bar being vertical, have one or two going horizontally across the grill? it would match the OEM upper grill nice. of course not many people have that anymore.

Out of all 3 grill designs, I would have to agree with Mex....The bumper looks good but the center is too wide....the lines going across look much nicer...I think that bumper would be a big seller.

interesting idea, but the thing is, im good at fiberglassing,but i think im going to keep the original design, maybe its there for sum kinda support? plus the bars u made, kinda over kills the grills, after im done, u can put som other kind of grills, ad for side skirts and rear, im not touching that. as for the front, i might make it limited edition and make only a handful, maybe for a team or sumthin, wut u think? the highest bid frum a 7th gen civic team gets the front bumper for each of the ryders? or jus do request, wutever werks

Your car looks damn fine w/out a kit on it now. And if the kit is going to even resemble the design of the front bumper, your going to have a true show class vehicle.

well joe...
im not trying to hate on you, but i dont really thing that its a good idea to buy a body kit piece from someone independent like yourself. you dont have a body shop, nor a business license to do so. you dont have the money to be refunding people a bumper, should the bumper you make them ends up being a P.O.S. and falls apart on the freeway. if i were you, keep your design to yourself. plus, what kind of TEAM in their right mind would buy multiple bumpers from you, especially of all of the same design. what makes TEAMS unique and individual are their ability to put many different types of cars and designs into a group. i would NEVER EVER want to be on a team where everyone had the same design that i did, especially on the same car as well.

on the other hand, i wish you luck on your design....FOR YOUR OWN CAR! i like the look, very different and unique for our cars. i admire your creativity...

Hey, I agree with MEX also!!! I think the mouth is a little too big, like one of those fish that just camouflage under the sand, and when the prey comes along, just sucks it in (sorry, I was watching discovery channel last night)... But yeah if the bars were horizontal, then it would sorta look like the Veilside s2K kit? with sweet integra turn signals of course.... I'm interested...

I'd definately consider purchasing one. I think the first and third ones look the best. Maybe put some of that mesh in the gap. Keep us updated.
