240sx wide body-new front bumper

Post by **RideFX** » Wed Apr 30, 2003 7:34 am

Many people like jaquemonds wide body kit for the 240sx but dont like the front. I contacted Oliver about this and asked him if he would make a new bumper for the kit. He replied that he was actually in the process of designing one. He sent me a sketch on the front that he is in the process of working on. What do you guys think? any sugestions on the front design?

i don't like the hole...

Post by **UnderPressure** » Wed Apr 30, 2003 7:34 am

umm, i say alot less curvy, maybe a little more angular, no hole and put in some amber fog lights, like the s14 or lexus IS 300, or GS 400 ones. . . . no holejust my 2 cents tho

oh and no middle thing (in the opening) that would **** up intercooler flow

Ya that thing in the middle defnitley looks to block FMIC flow greatly.

looks ugly imo.

I think that the thing in the middle of the opening should be taken out, and the opening should be made a good bit smaller...also along the very bottom the rounded lip should not protrude out to the sides so much. Basically what I'm describing is the stock 91-94 bumper...I sure do like it a lot

they just added some weird things on top of the old bumper. no good. it's curvy/sissy looking in a bad way, and reminds me of the new miata. the hole HAS to go, or be placed somewhere else, perhaps covered up with something. the way it is, it's very non functional with the middle piece on the lower part being in the FMICs direct path of airflow.

I never liked that whole kit in the first place. the modifications to the front bumper aren't any better. it makes no sense to me . . . "umm lets see, I'll put a hole here and lets add some more plastic here . . . viola! it's done!"

Post by **NIGHTfall_240sx** » Wed Apr 30, 2003 7:34 am

that hole on the front i would guess is a whole to increase air to a short ram intake, but why would it be on that side????

Post by **sil80drifter** » Wed Apr 30, 2003 7:34 am

yeah the whole thing is just plain rainbowfriendly

on the other hand this

i think they tried to make a Tie Fighter...then crossbred it with darth vader's helmet, and DNA modified it with a storm troopers dong. i can see why ppl don't eat the genetically altered tomatoes. that's horrible...poor s14! come to papa, he will make it all better...

i dont think that dude knows what hes doing, the wide body kit is f*** hideous!

Post by **Holisticbeatz** » Wed Apr 30, 2003 7:34 am

That kit looks cool, especially that hole, it really adds a nice touch. In case if anyone is wondering, that hole allows air to flow into the proton pump capacitor increasing the consumption of metabolic GFS fuel mixture.

Post by **RideFX** » Wed Apr 30, 2003 7:34 am

Yes i did contact Jaquemond. I personally like the rear of the kit but i dont realy like the front, i think it looks too mild kinda like a miata. I am interested in getting the kit if it had a more agressive front end, thats why i made this post to ask if anyone has any sugestions about a different style for the front. And im sure that the sketch was made ina program liek photoshop but i dont know because i ddint make it.
