Euro bumper vs. Front Splitters vs. Both vs. Stock - Page 2

Steve made one that kind of mimic's the k-staff bumper available in japan. Steve's bumper sorta resembles it but the k-staff is a bit more aggresive. The cloud design is not for sale, as far as i know. I remember there being a thread a while back about the cloud bumpers and the thread came to that conclusion.

I have the Euro front with a N1 type front spoiler. It seems to work where before i could corner at 100+ on the highway if I wanted wet pants (not really but close to wet) now I can corner easily and not worry about it. The idea of the front spoiler is to keep the air from going under the car unce it hits the bumper (I have the euro so it goes to the raiator or my air tubes) Works great so far.

Got any pics of it?

I really like this look, it gives it a euro-supercar feel

I agree on these points, but it seems easy enough to simply mold this rear bumper downward and out a bit near the rear wheel to match the side.

Maybe it could use a rear lip spoiler.

can we get someone to make the cloud front bumper??? I was in love with the kstaff before but I really like that cloud one!!!!

like I said...... I would pay well for a cloud front and rear bumpers...

Don't forget the side skirts!

I know they are actually making the skirts and I think Dayle can even get them over here, but it would be cool if those could be made over here as well (to save some $$$) and the option of all 4 pieces sold as a package.

A looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooong while.

I remember seeing his finished prototype done and mounted to his car 4 or 5 years ago. Then he moved and didn't get to start production. Guess the time still isn't right?

hint hint Come on Steve!

I think Steve did his with 2 pieces per side, and they joined in the middle. I forget if this was to make shipping cheaper or had to do with the mounting or something else. Seems the Japanese ones are 1 piece. One piece would look cleaner, but I wonder if there was an issue that Steve was trying to avoid by making it 2 pieces (which the stock pieces in that area are I believe).

From the work Steve did on the Euro bumper and the side skirts, I have no doubt he could get the Cloud City front and rear done right as well. But obviously he lacks the time these days...

I read through that whole thread and he made them 2 piece to make up for the body twisting. Like when you take a turn real hard the sotck side skirts are 2 piece so they won't crack. I can't really explain it right lol, but I hope you get what I mean.

I reallllllly want him to finish them because $250+shipping is so much better than $1200+shipping
