  • other bumper / body kit options ???

    has anyone ever tried to put any other bumper covers for any other car on their festiva ex. ford escort gt, mazda 323, tracer. Any success on getting them to fit?

      Here's a Ford Focus bumper transplant --> http://www.fordfestiva.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=17571

      Others have put Honda Civic rear bumpers on.

      Guys overseas with Kia Prides have adapted all kinds of bumpers. Usually, they rivet them on, then mold to fit. If you're going to go through all that, then I guess almost anything will fit.

        Check out my thread....

        It's a slow, ongoing process, but I've swapped an Isuzu Stylus front and rear bumper onto my project festy. Scroll down to the bottom of the first page for the front bumper pics. Just finished molding in part of the festy rear bumper to the stylus bumper and now I'm working on doing the same with the front. It's a surprisingly good fit once you cut away the extra bits and pieces

          nice work guys Ill keep a look out for somthing cool. I tried a 88 vw gti bug bumper but it wasnt working out because the festiva bumper support was too wide for it (deleive it or not). it would have looked sick but i didnt want to cut the festivas bumper just to put a cool bumper cover on. ohh well Ill figure it out because I sure aint gona spend no 1000 dollarrs for a body kit.

            The structural member of the Festiva bumper is really just a rectangular box section. Relatively easy to fab a replacement to muck with, if you wish to save your original one. Just a thought.

              Subaru legacy bumpber worked for me, had to take about a inch out the middle and shorten the wheel curves a bit. Still working on it, but was really easy to get to fit.

                Edit to the above- I measured a CRX one it looked like a good one too, may need slight modification though.

                  do you have some detailed pics of this process? and is it the same bumper that lanemeyer used in his thread?

                      Just wondering if anyone has any updates on thier bumper swaps? I'm looking at retrofitting a kit off a crx. Would be neat if we had a sticky on the board about bumper alternatives to give people ideas of what can be done with some know how and a lil elbow grease.
