anyone know what the tec-arts purple fc actually runs? I thought it was the car service hiro bumper but upon comparing it looks a little different but close. obviously ignoring the splitters/canards all over it.

^I think I was correct in thinking its car service hiro BUT they chopped the bottom off and used a huge flat lip/custom flat section. thats the only part that looks different. opinions?

To clarify for others, that all other brands that arnt mentioned are most likely knock offs. Chaser aero seems to be pretty bad

I always thought the Tec-Arts front bumper was their own design completely but I couldn't find it anywhere outside of the pictures of this car so I didn't post it up. Maybe it's a one-off for that car?

take a look on page 1 at the car service hiro bumper. it looks almost exactly like it except for the lower flat section and tec-arts added canards and wind splitters to it. there is one VIS bumper on page 1 that kinda has the same look too but a lot of the bumpers posted are in japan mostly or just really rare, especially the car service hiro one. I like that the center opening is bigger then most other bumpers on that one, more air flow for when I go v mount. but ya, tec arts one is slightly modified on the bottom of a car service hiro bumper is what I'm thinking.

any links or vendors that release or sell this bumper?

And also, is this the bumper above the same as this one pictured? I'm pretty sure it is, just not widebody. If anyone can identify it let me know.

The lights down low are kind of cool, but eliminates most typical fmic pipping options

Also, that answered my question for what bumper this one is:
Yours Sports Type C


Better pic of Panspeed:


and adding:
Tripoint Half (Widebody)


Duraflex Demon Full




Unknown (probably custom or modified Yours Sports)


Unkown (I think it's called a california style front end? I've seen better pictures of it before somewhere, but couldn't source them)

Oh also Steevo, that link I posted in the first post sells the bumper, although I've never heard of anyone dealing with them, so I have no idea how they get all these old, rare, discontinued bumpers.
Perhaps tread lightly while dealing with them if you're serious about finding that front end.
And don't forget that one is for a widebody kit.

I was mainly interested in the type-c now that i know what the bumper is called. I'll send Yours Sports an email to see if they still market them. Meanwhile I'll try to find other links that perhaps sells the same bumper.

There is a board member who owns that car in the rb ad, think it might have been the only one.

I've gone to their website and messaged them and haven't gotten any word from them yet. Other forums say they were out of business years ago, idk how accurate this information is but I'm guessing they are.
