OK - it's off already!

So now I have to decide on replacement - the original stock bumper is completely gone, along with the absorber, ancillary lights and I'm sure lots of assorted bits n pieces (I have guards however). I assume allthese should go back on, even for aftermarket front?
It looks to me like WW is just the spoiler, (bottom half) - so I'd have to buy OEM top bits?
Right now I'm considering the Marga Hills front, 2002 stock rear & Marga sides (a la Vinny, per recommendation) http://www.nsxprime.com/ubb/Forum6/HTML/000335.html

Any advice or blow by blow from anyone who has installed a Marga front &/or along with pics of finished unit would be much appreciated.
Also pics of Sorcery or JGTC appeciated to help in decision, but not so hot on those, at least from ad pics on SOS. Maybe someones finished unit will convince me otherwise.
Anything else I should be considering?
 
I happen to really like the front end of the Comptech wide body kit.

Only problem is that you have to get the entire kit and not just the front end.

You will need the stock bumper to work with the WW front lip.
 
i like the looks of the car you posted a pic to except the wing and frankly i think the headlights are fugly. love the front end in that pic though.
 
Hey Ken,

Maybe you can do a trade with robr.
Personally, I would stick with urethane type bumper. So far the only one available is stock bumper. The wings west lip is also made of urethane, so it is a good addition. The surface of fiberglass crack easily with rock chip. After a few thousans miles, you might need to refinish your front bumper.
 
Burn-up also makes a bumper and you can also check cybernation they also have diff bumpers available ..... Chris ot SoS keeps some parts in stock ,if time is factor you might want to give him a call and get some feedback from him....i just got the WW front and lecher side steps which are almost the same as the marga hills side steps .... but do not require any modifications...the marga hills side steps were designed for use with the wide body rear fenders but with some minor mods u can make them fit.Good luck with your choice

That's not true. The Marga Hills side skirts works fine, and is designed for non-wide rear fenders.

if you think I'm selling my go-fast parts to go back to stock, you are way wrong my friend ;)
 
The Marga Hills side skirts are designed to work with the wide FRONT fenders. They work fine with the stock rear fenders as George points out.

Just to pipe in, I actually liked the the air dam you had. Better than stock, not as good as some out there. But definately original and unique if you desire exclusivity the way I do.

Unfortunately I think Robr is talking about the other car that was there to reference the side skirts I mentioned in my post above-
My front too ugly for anyone to love! (not sure which pics Juice is referring to, but if mine make me an offer I can't refuse!)
F/G cracks obviously too, which is problem with current front (exacerbated by steep ramp transition at bottom of driveway!)
Now are you suggesting Andrie FRP & Fibreglass the same thing? - I thought one was Fibre reinforced plastic (or urethane)& the other fibreglass mat & resin - most of options quoted are FRP - does that material suffer from failings you described?

(edited for minor clarification)

Give me your front end before you pitch it. I really don't have a need for it, but I like it enough to keep it from hitting the trash. Just an offer.
 
science of speed imports the sorcery front with canards.I love that front.. go to cris's site and take a look. imo it would look awesome..even better with fixed hid lights and full cf louvered hood

THE PICS dont do the socery justice.find a good pic..better yet I will post one tonight I have that is a large high res. you may change your mind about the sorcery after you see this pic
