Front bumper & lip ID

Hi guys, I am Interested in knowing this front bumper on a 26B FD3S.
Quad Spinning: Yuki Kamakura's Quad Rotor 26b 1997 Maxda RX-7
The article mentions it as a "custom front bumper" so I assumed it's a one-off at first. But I found another car running the same bumper and lip. Here are some pictures.


The bumper is very similar to a 99-spec plateless bumper but features sharper lines and slightly larger openings. There is also a more aggressive lip designed to compliment it. The contour cutout for turn signal lights is more pronounced as well. I wish I can find more info about it. Does anyone on the forum know this bumper? Thoughts are welcomed!

I like it too.
The '99 bumper is cool, but when you remove the big license plate mount from it then it looks like it has a giant doofy smile.

This is like the perfect '99 bumper except it is probably only available in more fragile fiberglass/composite not polyurethane like factory bumpers.
