Like most of the stuff from Japan for the SA22C[FB] it's either one-off, or extremely limited production japan only kind of thing. You'll find pictures of alot of cool body kits, bumpers etc. that all look amazing on em but they hold an almost mythical status because they are impossibly hard to find and either lead to simple mentions or dead sites.


Here's another example of things that are cool [well I think so] but cannot be found within reason:

THAT bumper though is a porsche 935 bumper. replicas are actually a little tricky to find, but they are out there

Ive never found where to get that exact front end, its definately japanese, and tough to track down.

BUT:
I always thought the euro ss from selectmaz was prety close, minus the piece that goes across the middle.
It could always be cut out and modded to look prety close.

Even that one is in aussieland though... dont see anything like that kickin around here.

look up anniversary race factory, they carry a style of that bumper, but the site is a little hard to navigate in Japanese

Posted in other thread I dragged up:

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???

I contacted SelectMaz a couple of years ago about one of their kits. It was going to cost $1000us just for shipping.

Thanks for all the input guys appreciate it. Didn't realise they were this hard to find. But definitely going to keep looking.

P.S. CPekel, that would be great, drop me a pm if you find anything!

Well this one is close, since the guy is sporting an erc hood and erc stickers I imagine the front might be the same.



Here is the site link. sorry its in japanese.

CA bumper brand

the name of my body kit was molded into each piece of my kit but I smoothed over everything because it looked like crap from years of bad paint and cracking.
