Just wonding if it's possible and what everyone will think, I've seen the 2nd gen with the whole 3rd gen front (bumper, fenders, hood) but what about just the bumper...

I don't think it would go with the lines of the car at all..



You should probably just buy an FD..



The nicest (and closest) thing I have seen that matches body lines very well is that bumper for the FC that uses the newer FD turn signal / DR lights.. I don't know the name of it though.. I can't remember..



It's in the DG trials video in vosko's (nopistons) video archive. Black TII FC setup for drifting.. In the DG video.. Somebody can help me out here..

I agree with colin...... the FD is just a more rounded car than the FC and the FD front just won't fit the shape of the FC. But if you wanna be unique.... i would like to see it.

You mean the rotary extreme GTC bumper don't you?I know theres a forum member on here with the mold for that bumper so you can run JDM bumper lights on your FC.I love those lights on the FC body.I can't remember his user name on here tho.

No, that guy destroyed his mold and got out of making them. My friend up here in New York has the last one that he made. It is a sick bumper though.

I love how it looks on that FC in the DG Trials vid.



Quite honestly I love the stock look of an FC.. I'm not big on aftermarket body kits or anything.. But that "rotary extreme" bumper makes me wet my pants it looks so good on that black TII..







Let me see if I can find a link to voskos site for the video..

I liked the second gen that had almost an entire FD fron end (it was purple right)? But I think that just the bumper wouldn't match too very good. If you want try and find some one that has one of those rotary extreme bumpers and see if they want to sell it.

The one purple car with fd hood,lights, bumper, and fenders looks crazy.
