I'm looking for the front bumper that is in Wagan Midnight. I saw it once in one of the HyperRev mags also, but all I can seem to find is the B-wave. I want to keep my FTP's and FlipUps.



I want it to look like this one. Who made it in real life and where can I find one. Like I said before I saw it in a HyperRev mag. think one from the mid 90's.



I've already found the hood. I just want the bumper. I love how the font end of this looks.

I want the same thing too!! But they say you should just cut it and use it like a half bumper. Not willing to pay $300 to f@#$ a new bumper up.

That still looks nice. Not so overstyles like lots of kits out there. I prefer the car a bit discrete. This is perfect imo, when not wanting to keep the original look.

Might be a job for a fabricator?

I'd rather make it myself then :P Should be possible making a mould of the original bumper, then cutting and grinding, then making a mould of that one if it looks okay. Or something like that :P

To all of you that are saying it's in a cartoon, again I have had a HyperREV mag that had that exact front end with the stock FTPS and flip up's in it.

For all you knocking racing animes they actually put real parts on the cars they just might call it by another brand. The FD in 4th stage has the RE-Amemiya kit and sorry if I like how it looks some times you get inspiration from odd places. One of my buddies built the S30 240Z from Wagan Midnight you gonna hate on him?

Thank you I'm Interested Looks like I might have another kit to chop the top part off of and mold them together.

I'd take that bumper for 100 and just mold the top from the old bumper would work and actually b cheaper than buying a new 1

I personally feel that the nicest looking FC's are bone stock S5's but that's just me.

So many negative or useless replies in this thread.
Thing about rx7club is people always got to voice their opinion when sometimes its unnecessary. Keep modding your ride, helps promote and continue the aftermarket support of our cars, its bad enough our aftermarket isn't as large as the 240sx community *I used to be into them back when they bearly had any support*. Rx7 is a awesome car and is more advanced but there isn't too much demand for our parts.

$100 for that bumper is a good deal, just take it and mod it.

The anime cars are inspired by real parts. And are tasteful, unlike our stupid hollywood fast and furious movies.
As far as the anime, nice to see our cars represented as something that is fast, not this stupid cash for clunkers crap out here lol

I'm throwing in my 2 cents in with Hypertek.

Guys, this is a thread for technical stuff, he's asking a question about a part for the body of his car, not your guys opinions on it.

If you don't have something to contribute... why post here at all?

As long as shipping isn't terrible, I agree, ****** that bumper up and find some badass fogs to put in it!

just modify the non flips on that bumper and be done with it, since it appears none exact replicas exist.

Or does it just look like it.

Hmm.. Like this picture?

Also, I totally agree with Rotarygod about bone stock S5s!

[Though, as far as body kits go, the front bumper from Wangan Midnight is about as good as a body kit piece gets... But I don't like the hood or the race spoiler, or any sideskirts....]

Yea, it's just an anime, but Wangan Midnight did inspire me to get my butt in gear and finish the rebuild on my convertible last year!

haha It dose that derekcat. made me want another rx7 and reminded me how much i like that front end on a seven. Not a fan of the wing, the hood isn't bad it's actually very functional hood in the way it is designed, helps suck out all the hot air out of the engine apartment.

I've found the hood there's 3 companies that have there version; Garage Kagotani, Pan speed, and Foresight Racing... Garage Kagotani is the closest to the one on the picture. Pan speed has a extra vent near the windshild on the right side and Foresight has the extra vents on both sides.

I only want to do the front end of that car not a fan of the sideskirts either. I'm just looking for stock T2 sideskirts. most side skirts don't work on my car anyways. ends up putting me 1/4 of an inch off the ground which isn't cool.

I agree with this. Using it as a half bumper would probably be the easiest way to do it.
