bumper mod

[ob wan]

this is not a ek9 bumper but a prefacelift civic sedan, top half is stock and bottom half is an aftermarket c-west type... work in progress from left to right beadings and mesh still to be fitted, my first fibreglass-plastic work

Wont that crack in half after time?

I'll give you A for effort.

Nice work though.

Sous have looked better if you had filled the bump strips in while you were doing it imo but well done!

agreed,

make sure its really strengthened up on the join, quite a bit on the back, dont want to hit something and the whole bottom section just to crack along the line.

good job though

rear bumper has beadings, that's why the front got some aswell...
been how long and no cracks... the thing with fibreglass/plastic merge is the 5p's (proper preparation prevents poor performance)

but i just cracked a sleeve, so i'm putting the block on the cnc machine tomorrow for some 7mm thick sleeves with 86mm id....
