The Concept
My car project has been going for months.. every bolt has been an adventure of its own. Now comes the time for bumpers. Originally my idea was loosely based on the RoadArmor style bumpers that are so prevalant on the road these days.
Heres my car (the Silver honda)parked next to a toyota with the basic idea i was going for..
Awesome blog post title 3/6/2015
Here is the Front and Rear of my car without bumpers so you can see what we have to work with.
The front Bumper 3/6/2015
I'm handing you complete artistic control of this preoject, anything is possible, the only limitation is that they are somewhat similar in size to the originals (DOT gets real pissy about bumpers that stick WAYY out)
I pictured a framed pipe bumper with 1/8" plate or diamond plate to fill in, staying generally within the lines of the car, but protecting it. Even some expanded steel between the headlights so i dont catch a bird in my radiator.
I would love it if the front could accomplish this:
♠ Have decent frame and structural main beam that will server as an actual collision protection (may the bumper be a bumper unlike the plastic crap it shipped with.)
♠ Protect the headlights and radiator.
♠ Have " inch places for the Fog Lights to be mounted.
Rear Bumper
The rear bumper will be far simpler, mainly just a frame and some plate that will not only function as a bumper but just cover up all the crap hanging underneath. -->
♠ go low enough so you cant see the enlarged trunk :).
♠ Have a trailter hitch? I can provide a hitch reciever.
♠ Will need a place for the exhaust pipe to exit
