Is there specific name for the mod done to the front bumper of this xD? I think it looks great, and I'd like to research some more information on it.

 

thats just an evo style overlay. you can do it yourself with paint or you can go to ebay or find batmobile in this website and he has a catalog of overlay stickers

 

Thanks kidd,

I'll have to call around to see if anyone in the area can install the vinyl for me.

 

Yup it's a nice mod, I had my vinyl on but without the white trim and loved it. Need to get it redone.

 

im glad you like it , in that pic its painted flat black

 

Did you paint it yourself? I'm tempted to do this, but I can't bring myself to paint my brand new car. I think vinyl is going to be a better option for me.

Those rims look great with the evo bumper mod too.

 

i would go with vinyl , i did paint it my self and in that pic was i think the 3rd time i repainted it, paint chips from rocks . the rims are 18x7.5 sportmax 006

 

I had vinyl on my front bumper from BlueBat and it was good, but it is in two pieces that you place together.

I would suggest looking for a place that wraps cars in vinyl and see how much it would be for them to do the bumper in a solid sheet of vinyl. After my first accident they had to replace the front bumper so they used a full sheet of vinyl instead of two half sheets, it looked much better.

 

That's great to know. I'm going to make some phone calls around the area tomorrow on my day off. Thanks for the heads up!

 

Thanks king,
I've got a serious bug to upgrade/mod my new car and a long pending parts list. Thanks for the rim info.

 

id like to get this done eventually, but i'm concerned about the holes the friggin dealer put in the bumper for the licence plate. My question is would those holes be visible thru vinyl if they weren't filled in first? or would i have to ge tthem filled in and smoothed out? i feel like there'd be little depressions showing thru where the holes were. any experience with this anyone?

 

Same concerns. I too have the holes on the bumper. And I just received the overlays from Bat. Yet to put them on.

 

I like this mod too only I have a NBM xD and I just dont know that black would be that noticable on mine, and am not sure what other color would look good. Anyone have any ideas?

 

When I had BBM's vinyls on the front of my car I kept my plate on there as per the state law here in California.

You can probably put the vinyl on over the holes no problem, but if someone pokes the drill holes that will be an issue. Plus you will probably see the the outlines of the holes through the vinyl as well, maybe look in to getting bumper plugs to fill the holes.

I don't think the darker colored cars would look good with a black nose whether it's gloss or matte, you wouldn't see it that well. Maybe a dark charcoal grey would look decent, or maybe even a white vinyl in gloss.

 

I might look into home depot and/or ace hardware to look for some plugs, and then put on my overlays from bat (but the plugs might still stick out)

 

True, but maybe you can sand them down to make the bumper smooth.
