what headlight cut conversion is this?


Is this just using the s5 bumper and cutting and shaving the lenses and headlight? how is this done?

The camaro mod

edit: He's built buckets for the bumper, trimmed the headlight doors probably done other things that you can't see in the pic.....its a custom deal.

Hmmm, maybe it is a bit different. They put clear lenses on them. I know I seen that same bumper conversion on ebay though for about 600

that looks like an RE- Amemiya front end with the headlights modded...

raceonusa, and all those other people selling bumpers on ebay are selling KNOCK-OFFS. are they cheap? ... yes... if you know what i mean...

thats a front bumper, not a modified aftermarket bumper. it comes like that stock, you have to mod all the stuff behind the ftp lense though (metal bar) so it actually looks right.

cheap as in i'm gonna go take an ORIGINAL front bumper, replicate it, and sell it ... that's cheap... sure they sell for less than the original, but how would you feel if someone took your idea and made money with it? that's cheap right? too bad we (americans) have to import stuff from japan, instead of creating our own unique parts like they do... i'm certain the mariah widebody and tri-point wide body were made here in america... but they only produced one or two different types body kits, whereas RE Amemiya/R-Magic/Sexy Style have lots to choose from... ya get where i''m goin? we need more "original-tuners" so to speak....

kinda drifted off topic, but yeah, that front bumper pictured above is cool...

i know you can go to Re-Amemiya's website and view they're products... it even shows prices too, i don't have the japanese sites converted to english, but it looks as if you can purchase parts through the site and maybe have them ship it overseas? anyone here that can confirm that?
