Has anyone done this?? I think the black comb looking things on the bumper look cheap.. Has anyone removed them and if so do you have pics?? Thoughts on what this would look like?

And removing the comb thing will have no effect on aerodynamic.

AtlantaRC

YES!! That is exactly what I want to do.. Any idea how to remove them?

Kevin350

Sorry, I don't. But it does look really tho

I believe they pop into small mounting holes, which if you take it out you will have to fill, and paint. You could always stick you hand up behind the rear bumper and see if you can feel for the plugs.

So here is what the bumper looks like if you take all the stuff off.. What would I need to have the body shop do to clean this up and look good?

ZAM

probably body filler to get it flush and then you will need to repaint it

Kevin350

Someone need to create an aftermarket black plastic filler that fit those holes with out the bear claws.

Thanks for showing us what it look like. That's going to cost some bucks to have that filled in, prepped and painted. Not worth it IMHO.

I wonder if someone can 3d print a plastic insert like the first picture

An alternate plan would be to remove the bear claws, paint them to match the bumper and reinstall. It may be the least expensive route (or buy the Obsidian and not worry about it)

If any of you guys are going to remove them let me know, I could use a set on my spare bumper.

that back, although an improvement from what we have now.... reminds me of the accord. I just wish they made it similar to the RC F or just redo that part of the bumper

That's exactly what i thought when i saw the picture, Accord coupe. I particularly like how the "combs" or whatever you guys are calling it look.

The photo of the white RC is most probably Photoshopped to see what the contemplated result would look like. From the photo of the unadorned bumper, surely the cost of such a conversion would be prohibitive, and it's my guess that someone who dislikes that particular flourish to that extent would not have purchased an RC in the first place.
