Anyone ever seen this bumper?

I was searching through eBay for some stock bumper parts when I stumbled upon this.

Anyone ever seen this bumper before? It doesn't look quite as ricey as some of the others I've seen. I may sh00p this on a pic to see how it looks... Any opinions? This is the first bumper to ever grab my attention.

Edit: Scratch that. My photoshopping skills < a brick's.

Oh yeah, and I know the whole "JDM" thing is a scam. I just ignored it.

Fiberglass = stay away
Fiberglass will most likely exhibit FLA, fitment will be junk, and it WILL crack in under a year.
Unless this is for a show car.

they are available for 5th gens also, and that one is similar, but not the R33 bumper. theres no blinkers or running lights.

IMO that middle opening is still just too big. unless youre intercooling something with forced induction, theres no need and it will look awful.

and on ignoring that JDM crap. just as bad as walmart's "genuine steakhouse brand" steaks.

It is a bit big, I agree. It actually surprisingly reminds me more of the E39 M5's front bumper than any other car.

I don't know. I don't think this would be a necessarily bad looking bumper. I'd just be worried about ripping the bottom off.

Aw hell, I'll just mount an intercooler in there and make it look cool. Mad tite JDM, yo.

I stumbled upon that thread a while back. It's a pity he doesn't make the kit anymore. I'd love to get my hands on one of his front bumpers...

They pop up for sale every now and then....

ask Doublea he may still have his and I think he wanted to get rid of it (unpainted and still in plastic IIRC)

Don't do it.. In the long run you will regret it. The material for this kit stinks.

Any aftermarket body part's fitment is going to be ****ty if you don't take the time to do the proper body work to it...well, with the exception of OEM-spec, maybe.

Btw, I was never really interested in purchasing the bumper. It was more just a passing though, and I was just curious as to if anyone had ever seen it, mainly because I've never seen it on any car parts sites.

I'd rather waste my money on my engine than the body. I like the sleeper look.
