What's different about this 99 spec plateless bumper?

Hello guys,

While googling I found this front bumper.



What is it? Who makes it?

It looks like a 99 spec plateless but there is something different about it that makes it much prettier. The front opening seems bigger and sharper and it kind of loose his smile.

Any input about it?

Thanks.

I can add that those are URAS combination lights, pretty certain they're NLA.

I don't think it is Legmotorsports, at least not the bumper I have.

Details of my bumper can be found in this thread.

^^Looks like you nailed it



Unfortunately the bumper is not made out of polyurethane. Too bad because the subtle differences really work with it.

Brand: EUROU Product: Front Aero Bumper -RX7 FD3S

SPECIFICATIONS:
Lead Time: Made to order 3 ~ 4 weeks
Included: Bumper only, lip spoiler sold separately at SKU:82309
Material: FRP with black Gel Coat

COMPATIBILITY NOTES:
FD3S Type 5 and 6 turn signals are needed.

Yep looks like it's a Eurou. Didn't know about that company. Thanks for the finding.

Love the look but not sure about fiberglass and neither about the $500 shipping price. The bumper itself is pretty cheap but shipping kills it.

I hate the 99 spec 'Smiley' plateless with a passion. Wow. No offense to anyone who runs it but IMO it just kills the look of the car. The Eurou is pretty sharp and a huge upgrade...... if you order a couple together for local guys I'm sure that'll bring the shipping costs down
