Anyone know about this car and the front bumper? I wish I had a pic of the rear to see what that looks like. [attachmentid=511

It's just a rendering, not a real car.

Whatever, it's looking good. Hope you get a 914 someday. I'm only interested in the bumper and I think it works very well. An RS bumper???

Whatever, it's all out of proportion, there are elements from a 911 and no head lights. The roof line is off and I'm sure there would be just as many problem with the rear. Oh, and as the previous poster said it's just a drawing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

I'm just asking a question here and I don't need sarcastic replies to my query. So, rhodyguy, if you have helpful, thoughtful info to give me great! Please stick to the subject matter and not give a negative opinion.

I think, possibly, it was your tone that's the cause of the sarcastic reply. You asked a question, iwanta914-6 gave you a straight, honest reply, and you replied, "Whatever..."

Just my friendly opinion, take it as you will.

The work on this car was flawless, not every bodies cup of tea but you have to appreciate the quality of work.

Sorry Frankie C but if you post here sometime people might offer their opinion.

As I said I wasn't asking for an evaluation of the pic that I posted. I just asked about the FRONT BUMPER and I liked the look. I may try something like this on my 914 3.2 project. Please stay on topic when you give me info/feedback.

How is telling you that this is a rendering NOT staying on topic? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

There is no info on that bumper because it's NOT REAL. It DOES NOT exist. Someone MADE IT UP.


Is that enough honest feedback for you?

I guess fabrication is not in your lexicon.

as stated above.
due to the fact that the proportions are off
the hood/cowl/and hood height are from a 911
and the 914 is much lower, square, different door shape, different windshield, different front fender, different roof line....

that bumper on an actual 914 gives a much different overall look than it does on the rendering... the roundness of the bumper won't go along with the square styling of the car... thus the bumper will look like an aftermarket body kit and not fit well with the styling...

all of this is relevant to your question and original post
its a fake bumper on a fake car that you can't buy, and won't flow well with the styling if you fabricate one.

FWIW, there is an email right on the graphic, try emailing the "artist"

The entire car is contrived, a meld of a long nose 911 (bumper, hint hint) and a 914. Note the door handles and the shape of the windshield.

I'm guessing you could fab the bumper using a 73 or earlier 911 if that's what you're going for...
