Thumbs up What Front bumper is this?

Hey there everyone, I was browsing through 22cfile and I wanted to know what bumper is on the grey car, and also what front lip and spoiler are on the red one. I'm going to start ordering body pieces soon, and I want to know what company makes them so I can make my decision based on availabilty as well as looks.

You might be able to find those front lips in a place that starts with a J and ends with APAN.

The dryer hose sticking out the front is a particularly fetching accessory...

I think that's a japanese front end that is no longer made. The flares are, ZG flares, made for older Datsun 240z's.

Im prety sure that front end is the "euro" bumper available from selectmaz of australia, slightly modded.

I think they just cut the section in front of the rad open, as a matter of fact Im nearly certain there was actually a thread about it back when I joined the forum.

Can't really see it well enough to classify it.

I found out the spoiler is made by mariah mode, but I checked selectmaz and they don't have either front end. DAMMIT, maybe I'll just have one made, or make one myself.

HEAPS of the bumper on the gray car were made here in Australia (whether or not they're copies of the gray jap car or it has an aussie made bumper on it I'm not sure) by Selectmaz. I've probably seen that bumper on cars around melbourne at least half a dozen times.

If you wanted to pay for postage to the US I'm sure it'd be easy to source one? Just make a wanted post on ausrotary.com, or search there. I've seen those bumpers come up HEAPS. They're probably the most common aftermarket bumpers for first gens here.

Happy to let you know if I see one for sale???

edit: is this an old thread? If so, no idea how I dragged this up...

They freight to other parts of Aus, couldn't be any harder for them to ship overseas if they're boxing it up anyway.

Depends how much you wanna pay I guess, these are new but I've seen second hand ones pop up for a 100 bucks.
