[QUOTE=lowntegra;2262933]still working on them , gentlemen… 
carbon left side this week.
silchuki14 - did you vacuum bag that part? and yes, these are very hard to fabricate…
as for the rear section, they are already easily available on ye’ olde’ ebay:
looking to purchase the Driver side (left side) lmk how they come! b.nguyen87@ymail.com
ugh! something is screwed up with the image uploader… i cannot get anything else to upload here… says i have exceeded my limit, but i only have like a couple photos uploaded to the site??? i may have to try an external site or something.
got more work done on the left side this morning. crankin along!
are you still producing these vents? if so what are the prices? Were you able to make one for a 92-93 bumper?
I don’t think he has ever produced them, says it’s a lot of work, which I believe by this thread. More of a “look what I can do na na na na boo boo” kinda thread.
Inspiration to make your own one off parts.
yeah havent gone into “production” just yet, these little suckers take alot of time…something i do not have an abundance of right now. i get a little time in the mornings before work, and thats it. should have new molds made of both left and right sides this week.
no plans to do a duct for 92 -93, as there is no lower openings in that version of the bumpers. unless you guys with them, want to cut…??
can anyone figure out my picture problem ? i cant seem to upload any new photos. says im over capacity, but ive deleted a ton of them, and it still says it…
I’ve never uploaded pics using the websites picture editor. I just always use photobucket. If you do it that way, theres no such limit.
I would really enjoy purchasing one of these products off you. I’ve seen your earlier productions and im pretty impressed. Its sad theres not as much aftermarket support for the DA chassis as there is for the EG/DC chassis.
im really trying to get these goin for my friends in the G2 community! i have a few right sides done, they are not perfect, but look ok. ill get a photobucket account up 2mrw. sumillshit - yeah, we get no love…haha, kinda like the prelude guys.
i’m willing to cut since the air duct would cover up the hole.
is this also the air duct alone or will there be a tube sold with it that feed the air into the air box
92-93 guys :
what are you thinking for placement? in a similar location to the existing 90-91 lower holes? or would you guys rather do one in the turn signal location?
ive been taking a look at some pictures over the weekend, and it is doable, but going to have to cut seemingly alot…

I’ve been wanting to do a duct for the 92-93 bumper for years now. This past year I finally got a set of extra bumper lights and started taking them apart but have since gotten side tracked and shelved the project until I hav more time and until it’s actually a priority. I’ve always thought it’d be really cool to use the stock bumper light as the shell for a duct, essentially just use it as a frame and add fiberglass to it to smooth out the airflow and then cut out the back so the hole is large enough to flow a decent amount of air. It’d be able to be swapped out easily, the idea being that you’d keep your stock turn signals for the drive to the track then swap in your ducts when you get to the track.
If you’re gonna try to make something I’d be interested in learning more and if the price is affordable I may be interested in buying from you instead of making my own (since clearly I’ve been too lazy/busy to get the project off the ground myself).
It would make more sense to use the bumper light but then your going to have to cut a big section of sheet metal behind it to hook a tube.
same thing with cutting the bumper to retro fit a air duct to it, there’s no metal to cut behind the lower bumper. at least for the 93 bumper.
the 91 works out best since it already has a duct in the lower bumper
think i may make this a project soon and add a bypass valve in mine
ok, will be looking into the turn signal idea, although i also think there is metal bumper support in the way back there… id look now, but A. dont have my car here with me, and B. dont have a US bumper support on it anyways…
anyone have good pics?
You’re right, there is metal right behind the bumper light. But IMO it’d be easier to cut the metal behind the bumper than it would to cut the bumper itself (in regard to making it look good). But I guess it’d also work to have something simliar to the 90-91 design with a large lip/flange on the front so that the cut in the bumper wouldn’t have to be perfect.
Here’s the front view with the bumper light removed. Take note of the round hole in the radiator support near the center of the pic.
Closer shot looking slightly downward. Here you see the bumper as well as the support behind it. In this area the support doesn’t leave much room around the hole in the bumper. But, luckily all of this material could be trimmed without a problem, the bumper will still attach just fine. The JDM version doesn’t have hardly any metal in this area. (I have a JDM support which isn’t installed because I needed the USDM one to attach my tow strap to.
Here’s the view from the back. You can see that hole in the radiator support I referenced from the first pic.
A closer shot of this area showing bumper support and radiator support. Depending on how much room you needed you could cut out the bumper support and run the duct under/around the radiator support or you could just cut a big hole in the radiator support and have the duct go straight thru it.
it would be much better and cost effective to make the duct from the bumper light since both models have the same light. a (one size fits all type of deal) per say.
but the 91 bumper has the upper hand with a duct placed under the light and away from most sheet metal.
I’ll post pics of bumper support with no bumper. maybe with both 91 and 92 supports.
This is incorrect. 90-91 and 92-93 have different styles of bumper lights, so a duct made from one will not fit the other. Look at some pics, they’re quite obviously much different when you look at 'em.
your right!
picture uploader isnt working…
colin, thanks for the very nicely detailed pics! they show alot of the stuff that is kinda in the way. i’ll get ahold of my buddy jeff in CT, he should have a 92 bumper kickin around. idealy, id like to have one in front of me, to see how much needs to be cut. from your pictures, it appears that the main perpetrator here, is the rad support itself… the bumper support doesnt really seem to be in the way all that much.
im tending to agree with you about that being the easier route to take, in terms of making it aesthetically pleasing. although, when i do get a 92+ bumper section, i can play around with the lower area, similar to the 90-91, and see if i can get something to look decent there. im figuring with a similar rolled edge, it might look ok…
progress pics in a min… waiting for paint to dry…

feel free to browse through the album, as there are a few pics of my neighbor fab’ing up the exhaust - 2.5" SS k teller piping kit, to a HKS full titanium muffler. doing something unique with the muffler tip very soon…wont be straight.
also got all the pieces to mount up the new steering wheel this weekend. had to use one NRG piece on the setup, as they are the only people, as of now, who make a short adapter. the QR is a sparco group N rally style, and the funky lookin spacer in there is from this company:
i find a lot of sweet parts from the UK, they just seem to have cooler stuff! speaking of…ill get a shot of my hood pins as well this weekend. i bet none of you have seen them before! (not aerocatch…)

What websites do you use to find UK stuff?
I think that if you did a lower duct like the 90-91 and used the rolled edge like you mention then yes, it could look fine and not “unfinished” or rough. And actually, the more that I think about it, it’d be easy to cut the bumper for that. You’d want to use the duct to make a template and then use that template to mark where it gets cut. Then there’s the issue of how to attach it to the bumper. With the bumper light idea I was planning on using the same hole for the screw which mounts the bumper light.
Pics look good, but I can’t seem to get them to enlarge. How the hell can you guys deal w/ photobucket? That site is just horrible IMO.
As for the duct routing, check out these pics. As you can see, you can run the duct lower down. You wouldn’t need to cut that radiator support piece out and go straight thru it. All you’d need to do is trim a bunch of the bumper support (or use a JDM one) and then trim the lower part of the radiator support to make enough clearance.
Do you have any other pics of the KTeller exhaust you bought? I’ve been thinking more and more about getting rid of my RS*R in favor of a KTeller (or another brand, I now have a list of 3 places that sell mandrel bent kits for the DA).
