Well like I said in one of my post on the first page of this thread, ACS Composite did mention a few things about a full front bumper solution, like the 2.5/5mph impact rule, crash sensor, etc.

Besides the things above, the price will be an important factor too, a full front bumper with foglight, and no grille will probably cost at least $1400ish(since it would most likely require a full molding for the entire bumper), not sure how many people are willing to spend that much money for it....

i wouldn't mind having it, but yeah, only if it's the same (and i can use my stock bowties since i just bought some new painted ones). i've been looking at getting the T2 front bumper from ACS Composite, so i'd hope it'd just be a replacement for the stock grille with no modifications to the bumper itself. again, that way i could get the T2 front grille.

Here's what I'm thinking about
1. Direct replacement(no need to mod the front bumper)

2. Two horizontal bars in the front, and keep the vertical support bars in the rear (like the real Transformer 3/Jay Leno grille, the one Showstopper modded doesn't have the vertical support bars behind the two horizontal bars)

3. Non-solid like the stock one(instead of the 'solid' one like Kilo-9 spotted on the Transformers 3 Bee, don't see why anyone want a solid front grille lol)

4. Keep the bowtie slot like stock, but delete the SS/RS badge holder(for a cleaner look)

well, the SS/RS badge holder actually comes all the way out if wanted (i swapped my red ones for white ones

). but yeah, those ideas sound perfect! i'd buy one! of course, i'd have to save the money up and i'd hope it's not too expensive..lol.

Well with some rough estimate it will probably be around $300-400, should have a more accurate estimate price soon.

if someone told me they needed measurements I seriously wouldve have brought out the measuring tape and measured every componant at BBOMG

I want that front end period. As for pricing, if you really want to sell them, match it with the heritage grill price. Thats what I would do. Get that front bumper made!!! I want it soo bad :(

bo3adlah · 06-18-2011, 02:26 AM

id think about buying the ports and maybe the top grill but thats about it
it looks awesome dont get me wrong.. i just dont think it'll fit/look good to any type of style
just my opinion
great looking front though ;p

You should have pretended to be a service technician at BBOMG and drive the car away. That way we can get a total scan of the car and know every measurements needed

As for the price, it's only a rough estimate right now, but it will be hard to match the heritage's price, since the heritage grille is a MASS production unit and can naturally realize much better economy of scale....

for the full front bumper, other than the liability issues, price will be another BIG issue as well. The full front is noticeably different from the stock one, so molding will cost a lot and requires a lot of money upfront for the developing and molding....

so even if there is one it will very likely to be more expensive than the ACS T3 full front(which is $1100), economy of scale can be a b**** :(

btw 2SSRS is currently modding one right now

Almost but not the same, The Leno one has a wider and deeper side bump's, and the T3 has the concept side markers so the bumper cover is taller in that spot.
