Default Finally, Turbo bumper and skirts on a '99 C2 :)

OK gang,

I finally decided that I was getting bored with the plain look of my 1999 C2 and decided to add a little spice to my life. I ordered the turbo front bumper and tech-art side skirts, got them painted and installed. I also added smoked corners and turbo wheels (8x18 front and 10x18 rear). Oh, I forgot, finally got a Valentine 1 radar as well

Hope you like it

Thanks for the comments.

$450 for skirts, $800 for the bumper, $450 for painting, $100 install by a friend. Received a check from my insurance company for $1000 for a small crack that I had in my stock bumper so the whole thing cost me $800.

Car looks awesome. I think bumper looks good with the fried egg lights. nice simple lines.

I luv the bumper but prefer the stock look. What looks mean on your black car I fear may not look as hot in green. I wonder how the bumper would mesh with aero 1 skirts? Doesnt the 40th have something like that?

Where did you find the bumper and how was fitment?

Thanks,

Front Bumper came from Los Angeles (Tony 310 930 4114)

Side skirts came from somewhere in California (JH Concepts) - they are running an ebay auction at the moment item number 220230600615

those TA style skirts are growing on me. I'm not really into body stuff, but those look great on your car.

First I ordered the bumper and I thought the car will look silly without any sideskirts, so I looked around and those TechArt looked nice, after I mounted them it took me good 3-4 days to get used to them. At first I wanted to take them off right away but now I love them. I just need a nice classy wing for the back, nothing too crazy.

Looks so much better and more agressive

Put some nice black wheels on it and wow!
