FC2000 kit

Anybody have pics of what the FC2000 bumper looks like with the stock headlights? I'm just curious to see if it looks good without the flushed headlight kit. I have seen the bumper for sale by itself, so I'm assuming its ment to be a replacement, or some people have installed it without the full headlight kit and keeping the stock flip up lights.

thanks, matt

uhh.. i dont think its possible to mount it up with the stock flip up lights unless you do some trimming and cutting and patchnig to the bumper itself. The head light fixture is connected to the bumper or fiberglassed together. i dont know anyone that would cut up a preety expensive bumper even then you would be abl e to see the flip up light when it is closed due to the concave intruding the bumper where the lexan would have been... but there is a group buy going on for a replica buy shine auto... join the FUN!

Funkspectrum : Actually it's listed in amemiya's 2003 catalogue as a tamon design product.

Bugger, I'm coming off as a know it all in this thread Sorry guys.

Yere it's a sweet kit. Getting it shipped from japan is the REAL killer with the price though. Doesn't cost much more to ship a whole car out of japan, than it does to ship a bodykit..

RE amemiya used to make an older bumper similar to the FC2000 but it kept the stock headlights, only replaced front bumper skin.
