Does this air dam really exist?

Sorry guys, it's a hideously small pic, but it's all I got.




That's from the front of a model kit. Does anyone know if it really exists? I know I should hate it, but for some reason those huge foglights just look so....cool.

Actually, despite the big fog lights, that front end goes very well with the lines of the FD. I wouldn't mind having that bumper, and I'm a stock look nut!

Looks like it will increase the oil temp. It completely blocks the oil cooler(s).

If you like the fogs.. get the apexi bumper.

i would say this is your best bet if thats what you want. Just fit some fogs into the oil cooler openings. The good thing is youll still have area around the circle fogs for air to get by to the oil coolers.

I'm also a stock look fan, but of all the aftermarket bumpers, that has to my favorite. I wouldn't add fogs to the oil cooler openings though. If you must add them, I'd put them in the radiator/IC opening. Small aftermarket ones.

That looks sharp! But it is probably fibreglass? That I couldn't deal with. too many people think that bumpers are for bumping.

Then your choices are severely limited, as most are Fiberglass, and only a couple are Poly, or some other material... -> See '99 Spec Bumper...

Meh, oil coolers be damned. I just wanna see if the one on the model kit really exists

As for getting it, there are a few different places that carry it, and a few different variations of the kit (all of which have the same bumper).


Fujimi FUJ18135, 1/24th scale, available below:
http://www.hlj.com/product/FUJ18135
(I just ordered this one, can't wait to get it)


ARII 86084, 1/32 scale, same as below kit plus figure, not available


ARII 91064, 1/32 scale, same as above kit minus figure, available below:
http://www.hlj.com/product/ARI91064

That is a cool looking bumper, most body kits for the 7 make it look hawkish or something. This one has a nice rounded shape. Too bad it doesn't seem to be real.

Doesn't look the same to me... Even if you filled in the oil-cooler ducting with fogs (not that I would), the knightsports bumper is curved the opposite direction and has an integrated lip.

I used to own the PFS bumper and that is definitely not it in the model image. Looks like early Knightsports.
