i wanna love the bumper but i cant, its just the two outer inlets are way too big but overall a nice looking bumper but it has potential to be much better

probs to kercher for coming out w/ one, wish we had more options

infinitekidM2C · 07-27-2011, 11:02 AM

they need to work on the two side inlets..awkward but i like it overall

mitch55 · 07-27-2011, 12:37 PM

Looks like an X6 to me..

wow.. thats a serious bumper... those 2 side inlets are dying to have oil / water / inter- coolers shoved in them... maybe even some brake ducts..

imagine that in your rear view mirror on the track.........YUP, ill just point him by and mosey on along

Id respect the owner of that cover .. Its a little much for me, and its not ricer, its just BIG i guess...

A racer would like that if the vents went to the right areas I'm sure.

I was looking at either that exact bumper or the BMW performance one a while ago. I went with BMW because on the white car they were showcasing it on it looked weird. But it looks pretty good on a dark car. It's just so freakin huge. I doubt you can lower the car much, if at all, without running into problems.

romak47 · 07-27-2011, 05:54 PM

you need the side skirts to even out the low front fascia.. otherwise its like every other honda out there with only one part of a body kit. ..

samy813 · 08-01-2011, 11:00 PM

In person...you guy would eat your heart out...bro the car looks AMAZING IN PERSON!!!

+1.. I think the car would be complete with side skirts.. because the bumper is physically lower then your sides and rear right now hence making it look uneven.. I think this kit looks better on dark colors and not bad on yours.. btw those pictures above are pretty good looking..

Thanks!
Maybe you're right about the even-ness. No more cash now...LSD goes in this week and that's it for my 135 until next summer...maybe.

Get ur money back.. It looks like it belongs on a Civic.. Sorry

RiefferD · 08-02-2011, 10:47 AM

imo doesn't look bad, doesnt look great... the front looks a bit busy now, and the bumper looks like it was made for a bigger car. Could be cause your running both the bumper, and the splitter. Consider taking one or the other off, and that should balance ur car. Side skirts wont even the look, the front bumper seems bigger than the stock 1, add to it the splitter and ur still going to be uneven.

btw let me know if u decide to take my advice... i could work with the splitter

Thanks for your insight.
I like the way it looks, I'm actually looking for a nice rear diffuser.
I'm not going selling anything anytime soon.
I just bought the parts from Kerscher after waiting 1.5 months for everything.

It looks so badass! I love it! The 1 series front end is such a timid looking thing, with this bumper, it looks like a mean corvette smoking monster.

infinitekidM2C · 08-03-2011, 03:00 PM

What camera was used for the pics? and details on the clear corners? are those euro upgrades or what?

Uptempo80 · 08-03-2011, 03:15 PM

Looks mean. No doubt.
Incomplete project though.
Honestly, I would not put that front spoiler on my car untill I had the entire kit first. In saying that, I don't know if Kerscher even makes side skirts and a rear apron for to complete this kit...If they do then waiting is a good option. Get the entire kit first.
I just think that all these parts are needed before going thru with installing just one aerodynamic component on a stock-body car.

They do make an entire kit and but I only like the front.
