Ok guys, I've got an '86 S4 N/a that was my dads since he bought it. It's been a one owner car and still runs great with 210k miles. One of the things he did years ago was upgrade the front bumper, but i have no idea what brand it is. I love how it looks because i haven't seen another one like it yet. Help me find out what kind it is and let me know what you think, thanks!

I would name it Fred


but it looks like mariah to me, pretty expensive in its day and I dont think anyone ever copied it so its probably original

SC-FC

I like Mariah the best! But what i really meant is what company is it? And how expensive are we talking? Just trying to find out some more info...

Haha sorry guys, noob alert... i mean i know a decent amount but i'd just never heard of them and my dad couldn't remember what company he got it from. I checked out their website and the last update was in 2006, anyone know if they're still in business?

I never been a fan of it, but it looks good on your car, flows real well with the wheels too, has a period look.

kinda looks like a probe now w/o the FTP's

That's my concern is that I don't wanna mess up the look of it, cuz it looks classy. I'm planning on getting side skirts, an OEM style spoiler, and possibly six or seven spoke style wheels (Enkei PF01 or Motegi MR125), what do you guys think about that? I'm concerned it might not look right:/

I think that would look really nice. There's a guy on here with a black FC that has 16" MR125's and it looks really, really good. The bumper, skirts and spoiler would only make it lood a bit more agressive. I say go for it.

SC-FC

The only thing is that the bumper looks really weird with certain kinds of wheels, but I guess I'm just gonna have to see. Any idea what the guys username is with the MR125s?

Yeah, his username is SpiderMonkey. https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...5#post10758491 There ya go. Scroll up a few posts to see his original posts. I found it by going through my old posts. I was hot about the 125's when I first saw them, but I'm going a little different way with wheels.

SC-FC

Thanks man, those do look pretty tight. Only thing i'm worried about is the quality, they're only like $600 a set and are made in China. Or maybe i'm overthinking this...idk.

The car looks good! I just saw that you're in Chapin. Cool! I'm in West Columbia. Hope to see you around!

Reminds me of the old style Supra front end, usually i'd say it looks horrible. However... Your car pulls off that look quite well.

SC-FC

Ahhh, you guys are saying that it pulls off the look well, do you think it'll be ruined by side skirts and new wheels (6 or 7 spoke)?

Honestly, without seeing the front end lit up better, Im more inclined to believe its this kit here: http://www.erebuni.net/ge/mazrx786.htm

SC-FC

I can promise you it's not. That Erebuni looks to be a copy of the Mariah, and mine doesn't have the curve back towards the car near the bottom of the bumper, its more blocky than the Erebuni. You can tell if you really look at the pics.

if you look at the front shot of his car you can see the sides of his bumper are flat where the erubuni one has sort of a built in lip that sticks out and his fog lights are squared off

SC-FC

Exactly...

Aye, after further review it is the mariah nose, but it bears a striking resemblance the the 'shogun' nose as well. I like the Mariah version better though.

SC-FC

Me too, especially since you don't see very many around

The Mariah has the openings side by side on the corners & the Erebuni has the openings one above the other.
