bumpers and skirts that can be modified to fit the 1G?

Hey guys,

What front and rear bumpers and side skirts do you guys know of that require minimal or no modification to fit onto a 1G mx6?

Cheers.

None... to make it fit and look as good or better than original it'll always take a load of work

But to give u an idea of what's possible here are some pics of mine. Didnt do this myself but had a specialised shop do it and took them weeks of work already just the work on the bodykit so my advice is if you don't want to put in the work, don't bother

Skyline R33 sideskirts (originally they were much longer)


Honda accord 90-93 cleaned rear bumper (required trimming, widening and modification all over to fit perfect)


And the front bumper... not from another car so the best option if you don't want to modify. A cleaned version of the Pakfeifer bumper:

Radinov, your car never ceases to amaze me. I guess my only issue with my 6 is that I'm not a fan of how the rear and front bumpers sit. Seems to high, or out of place. =\

Your headlights give me a boner everytime.

Your a pinacle to what 1G owners love. Someone who had a car worth less than 500 bucks and spent 20x what it was worth. And to end it, you got one of the most bitching 1G i have EVER seen and probably WILL EVER see.

I'm not a fan of show cars anymore but i'm pretty sure i would drive that..........AUTO lol, everyday. Sorry had to say it.

tx, and agree, it sits too high stock... though a GT lip and a good lowering combined with nice wheels already does a lot.
But again, if you want some custom bumpers to fit properly, be prepared for a lot of work

Yeah I'm on the lookout now for some nice bumpers. Seen a couple guys on cardomain.com with what looks like R34 bumpers and [shizzle]. Would be so much easier if Prostert or Pakeifer still made the kits for the 1G

Some have attempted to fiberglass honda bumpers. But like radinov, you'll have to modify a lot of stuff for it to work.

Might as well just enjoy how it looks cause there's a one in a million chance you'll end up like me and get a car that actually has the Erebuni lip on it.

Yeah I know my chance are slim but still want to try. A guy in perth found a bumper (think it may have been a reshaped wrx bar) and has posted pictures somewhere on here. But yeh
