Almost, but it's not quite as....oh, I don't know. What's the word? Oh yea, ugly.
Nope...I take that back. That bumper is MUCH uglier....hell, that one might possibly be the ugliest thing I have ever seen. That is, next to that website I happened across one night....you see, I was searching for pictures of "large cats". Sakes alive, you should have seen this site I found...not quite what I had in mind...but disturbing just the same.

I think that bumper is a more refined DrazonZ and i think it is a hell of alot better than alot of front ends for our cars. I love that, its sweet.

Now I normally never down anybody because of their opinions.....but in this case I think I need to make an exception.
Seriously...stare at the second picture for twenty seconds. Tell me you don't just start laughing for no reason.

That is hideous.
Seriously..........hideous.
Come on, try it. Stare at the front of the Cougar in the second pic....you will start laughing in a matter of seconds.

Good God, how far does that thing protrude from the front of the car, a foot? :rofl:

I was thinking the same thing... It looks like a whale about to gobble smaller fish, in this case.. civics..
That thing is absolutly hideous.. Even though I don't like the dragon-z... it is much better than this POS... :puke:
I will say that the sides arent too bad though... :shrug:

I agree with the comments about the 2nd pic... :ugh:
However, I wouldn't mind seeing a straight on shot from the front... I think in those 2 shots the bumper almost looks distorted, its hard to tell what it really looks like... Plus the car needs to be lowered. Actually, is it because that bumper just doesn't sit as low as the DragonZ, etc?
Definitely different... I'll leave it at that.

No.. Fett is right.. It's hideous.. It fell down the ugly tree and hit every branch down, then bounced off a trampoline, and hit it again.. :biggrin:

Yeah, I keep looking at it and just cant imagine drawing it.......then thinking "That looks so good"
What is HARDER to imagine is taking that drawing to someone else and having them agree with you enough to market it.

well maybe it's a 10mph bumper or something...or maybe there are rocket launchers in those side vents :tongue:

what kind of sides are those? And I think with bigger rims, maybe 18s or 19s, and some springs, that thing would look mean.

when i first saw that thing, it remind me of that big mouth billy bass singing fish you hang on your wall. i agree with most of the people who have posted on how ugly it looks. it doesn't even to well with the lines of the car. hope that thing doesn't get around...

it's rediculously ugly.. and not even imaginative..
It's a DragonZ with Street Weapon Side vents.. and then very very very very minor changes to the shape..
They could have done something more original.
PuckPuck
07-02-2003, 11:56 AM
ummm.... kinda... but not kinda... i like how the bottom lip on it works and it just kinda slightly bows up in the middle... and the side vents look "kinda" cool... however overall that bumper just doesn't flow properly with itself and kinda just distorts the rest of the car far too much....
also it's not low enough for an aftermarket bumper

That is the most undesirable bumper I have ever seen since the Aeroxtreme rear bumper.

Look at how far it sticks out. It looks like ahome made job. i think i could habe done better myself then the company who made that and thats my decision and i am sticking by it!!!

That right there my friends is an Invader front for a 2nd gen eclipse
heres a quick pic of the Invader front on a Del Slow
http://www.teamdelsol.com/technical/bodykits/visinvaderfront.jpg
That front on the cougar doesnt match anything.
But i do give them props for being somewhat original and ganking it from an eclipse.
I dont quite understand why someone would want to take two of the most common fronts out there, Blitz and Invader, and put them on a Cougar. I mean its just that when you go to Nopi youll lose count of how many of those you will find on all Kinds of cars.
Time for the big edit:

I dont agree with the hating.... TO EACH THEIR OWN.....but the dragon Z and Invader front share only small resemblences. Seeing one in person will change your mind on how the Z looks similiar to the Vader. The vader is much wider and Narrow horizontally than the Z. The only thing that is remotely close to the Z and Invader front are the two side vents. The Z is much deeper and more refined than the other. However, that front did come from a 2nd gen eclipse and again, seeing the two fronts in person would change your mind. The Z front is a "trademark" name set by Andys Auto Sport, but companies such as Erebuni, take proven and nice designs from the larger companies, change up the design, and create "their own" unique front. Erebuni makes a lot of cheap parts, including the Invader.
If you want to get technical, the closest SIMILAR front to a Dragon Z for our cars is the Vielside Front from the Supra as seen below. :)

I like the bumper, but not on a cougar. I think it sticks out in the front too much and is kinda funky on its own. If the car was lowered it might look a little better. Those sides are just plain ugly though. They are too damn tall. It like highwaters on a cougar.
Jorgen
07-02-2003, 04:25 PM
worst bumper ever...
and those sides they don't matchy with a single line on that car at all...
what did they do to that poor kitty... but yes does look kinda like a DZ but i don't like that bumper either and this one is much worse

:puke:custom_images/emoticons/shocked.gif:puke: Thats the worst thing Ive ever seen on a Cougar. Too many companies are making boxy looking parts and they dont flow well on a Cougar. It reminds me of when I went bass fishing a week ago.

Is that wing in production and if so what is it? It might go well with a kaminari body kit although I would like to see more angles if I bought it.

All I have to say is that it is unique and probably the only one out there (currently) regardless of whether it is ugly or not. I mean, we are here for one reason. To make our Cougars as unique as possible whether everyone likes it or not right? Ok shutting up now...
Just my 2 cents
