Will stock SC bumpers fit a Carrera?

dimeified · 02-02-2009, 05:34 PM

Right now my Carrera has betterbodies fiberglass bumpers front and back. I would like to go with stock look bumpers, but i like the non-recessed look of the SC fog lights. Can i mount SC bumpers on my carrera?

Also, does anyone have a source for fiberglass stock looking bumpers? Pictures?
Thanks guys.

Well i know that i love my carrera, but i have not yet seen one with recessed fog lights that looked like the bumper wasnt cut with tin snips to fit them. I was also thinking of going with 17" rotas as well, hence the stock appearing bumpers. And i like how the sc fog lights give a more squarish appearance to the lower valence.

you can change just the valance....do you have current pictures of your car?

and yes the bumpers and all associated accordians and trim are the same.

rennspeed makes glass reproduction bumpers..I am sure there are other sources as well

I should take pictures tomorrow, its too late out now to get one. I did have one that i took of my wheels but i cant find it. I think i posted it up here once. Its the betterbodies skn bumper. I have a yellowbird rear bumper. The more i see impact bumpers the more i want them, and to lower the car, and get some rota fuch's on it.

Are there any concerns about mounting the SC fog lights on a fiberglass valence?

You can reinforce the back side with some aluminum from Home Depot. Personally I would drill the mounting holes....and then glass the aluminum to the valance as well. It may be a bit redundant, but there is a lot of vibration and weight associated when you mount a mass like a fog light.

Don't forget that the Carrera bumper has a cutout on the passenger side just above the fog light to allow more air to get to the oil cooler. Putting the SC parts on will restrict air to the cooler and heaven knows these cars need all the oil cooling help they can get. I suppose you could make the same cut on an SC bumper but why? Just get a late Carrera bumper with the SC valance and lights.
