That pic was stolen from my web site.
It's a R.E. Amemiya front bumper.
The slots are custom cut-outs.
The rest of the car is stock Kouki turbo FC pieces.

The car is currently down right now, but once we get it fixed, I want to do a big photo shoot.

On a side note completely seperate from being an *******. Do you know if the RE 944 or 924 whichever it is, Headlight conversion is still for sale anywhere? I would never buy it just curious to see what they could charge for a new hood and circular headlamps.

Hopefully this wasn't a slam on me, because I clearly stated that I saw that it was an MSports kit. My only question was whether this was the name of the company, because when you look up MSports, it doesn't seem to bring them up as the company, just the style. If you'd like proof, here's a link to the resulsts that you get when you look up MSports on Google:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=MSports

Now, if you happen to find the right link, it comes to this:
http://www.aeroparts.co.jp/msports/index.htm

Then, if you read closer, you can see that the manufacturer is in fact Mac Co., Ltd. Therefore, trying to be a smartass and saying that the youth of America cannot produce a gramatically correct sentence (which I do, and pride myself upon it) and that the kit is manufactured by MSports, you're wrong. If you're going to try and prove somebody wrong, at least back yourself up with substantial evidence. I'm only 18, you know, one of those minds that you sometimes seriously doubt, but I'm at least smart enough to research something before I try to make someone feel dumb.

BACK TO THE REAL TOPIC

I asked a question earlier on in the thread...

There was a picture of a front bumper from www.takakaira.com. It was a picture of the URAS front bumper for the FC3S:


This bumper is only $277, and I'm wondering why it's so cheap... It can't be a bad bumper, it's the company owned by the guy that drifts the Blitz Skyline. If anybody has any information, it would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, it's an URAS / Monkey Magic kit.
URAS / Monkey Magic is a company started by "Nomuken" or Ken Nomura.
Nomuken drives the Blitz R34 Skyling in D1.
I dunno about $277 - I think it's missing a "1" in the front.

No, that front piece from URAS actually is that cheap. Look at it. It's not an entirely new bumper, you just cut off the bottom of your old one at the molding and slap the new piece on.

My apologies for being a dick it was late at night when I posted and I was cranky . I have just seen so many people ask who that kit is made by that I decided to lash out, it wasn't really directed towards you in specific but it most likely came across that way. Again if you were offended, my apologies, but there seriously are cases of people with 5 posts coming on this board and asking who makes that MSports kit or the GP Sports kit when it has been covered in countless threads. So my apologies.

Also, to the person who mentioned that erebuni and so on don't make original kits. They are somewhat original just with minor differences, such as the shape of the brake ducts or number of holes or size of flares. Sure those differences maybe small, but there is hardly anyway you are going to be confusing the knockoffs with the real thing if you are paying close enough attention.

It is not just below the molding as the car pictured, is an S4 while the bumper has the S5 style moulding. My guess is Ted is right and it was supposed to be something ridiculous like 1,277.

Wow, you're right!

Amazing for a Japan part to be that cheap...

I looked that up as well, but of course, I didn't research into enough to do the Yen to US dollar conversion, although I did notice that everything else was 1.5-2k more Yen. Anybody know what shipping would be for that...? I'm assuming that it would be shipped from Japan, which would more than likely be expensive. And is it an entire bumper (that's what I was thinking...), or is it some type of lip...?

I was wondering this as well... that is definitely a beautiful aero kit, and if I could find some place that's selling that, I would definitely be looking into that.

Don't know about MSports but could it be the "Sexy Style" bumper? Here's a pic off of www.rxecret7.com



Except with the front part slightly cut out. I remember viewing a thread on a blue FC that had the exact same bumper and someone said its from "Sexy Style."

Looks like a Border front bumper. Corksport sells a replica.

The Erebuni shogun kits make the FC look like an MK3 Supra.
