ive been looking for some time trying to decide what to do about the front of my SA. i had a mariah front bumper cover in my pocession. me and my neighbor co-bought a car and that and the carb are all i wanted. well the day after we bought it, he flipped it and running th front bumper. so once again i was on the search for a front bumper that looks good and is functional. the only other bumper i found that looked good was one thats made in australia and i dont feel like paying the shipping cost. then, the other day i see a forum members car with the IMSA front bumper on it and i decide, thats what i want. now, how the heck do it get one??? i wish it wasnt fiberglass, but i cant be choosey as i cant even find one. maybe someone who has one needs to make a mold??? can anyone help me? thanks.

 

you have any pics of this bumper? maybe i can make it let me know thanks.

here are better pics of the same cars front bumper

do you think you could make it out of bendable plastic or something more durable than fiberglass?

 

this look almost like the mariah airdam http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e1...1/7a270623.jpg i make this one which is pretty close to that one take a look.

 

i can make the one i posted in carbon fiber and fiberglass other materials i havent tried. carbon fiber is the next best thing i guess.

 

the mariah bumper is very different from the bumper i showed you. the IMSA bumper has a flush face and sides and the lip is different.

 

!!!!!thats why i like the IMSA!!!1


we have the same # of posts lol

That place makes them I believe. They're in NZ, tho.

 

i have an original 3 piece urethane imsa air dam that i may be willing to sell, but for the cost of a new kamanari wing being sold in the classifieds...$250 but im not sure yet

 

Anbody have pics of thier front spoiler? They didn't have any posted

 

I'd like to see some pics, too. I've never even heard of that company mentioned.

 

Damn newbies... The only place is to get one used. noone makes a IMSA replica anymore. I'll sell you mine for $300

 

Thats my bumper you posted..... its not made of Fiberglass, its made of urethane, wayy better than fiberglass. Its like a plastic so it bends without cracking or breaking. Sorry tho, im not planning to sell mine. IMO 250-300 isnt a bad price considering its the nicest front end you can buy for a 1st gen, and its made of urethane. You can get similar copies as im sure your aware of for 150-200 but made of fiberglass.

* Remeber, urethane MUST be painted with a flex agent or else it WILL crack the paint.

 

i pretty much knew was the only option. the only reason i posted in here was i wasnt getting any action in the for sale section

also, pm sent

 

I have the mold for my one pice Bumper/Spoiler

what about this one here

 

Thats for a widebody.... although Japco may also sell an IT-7 airdam or Spec7 but Im sure its fiberglass or carbon.

 

it is the first and 4th that are the imsa the others are knock-offs or a different style.

 

^^^^the first pic is the best pic of what im looking for

 

i was just on there website today and it was saying that they have for widebody and narrow you can give them a call and see if you can get some pics of their narrow body kits

i was kinda kidding about selling mine. I didn't think anyone would want to buy it for $300. I'm keeping mine, it took me 3 years to find one...

 

What are these bumpers really worth?

I have been talking with aws140 about getting a rear end from a friend of his, and he like a few other wanted mine. After sending him a PM about maybe finding someone to get a mold for mine and re do it, i talked to my brother about it. he may know someone that would be willing to do it.

I know this is going to light a fire and people are going to say sing me up...but i'm not sure about it yet as i have not talked to the guy myself. Really would like to know what they are worth though. See if it is worth the time invested to make the 3 piece mold set.

 

i got mine from this place, they sell a lot of other goodies too. www.iscracing.net/Fiberglass.htm
