I almost bought that instead of the Vertex front, but i didn't end up going with it. I've seen it in person and it doesn't extend that far. I know where you got that pictuuure japan auctions???

Yes, very nice, but Vertex DOES own all.
R Spec is nice, too

Damn that's a hot bumper.

Where'd you get that bumper from? Or the N1 from?

The only 2 places I know so far are procarparts.com and Rotary Extreme. Are there any other places to get those at?

That's cuz they don't make a lip for that front bumper What you're looking at is the N1 front bumper w/ their undersweep...it's a canard/lip/undertray all in one.

Here's the N1 front bumper (bare):




Here's the undersweep:

That bumper's in Japan. It's a used original RE N1 w/ undersweep in CF (it's also available in fiberglass).

Ah dang Ramy, I was about to answer this thread with exactly your pictures and pretty much your words

Yeap, the CF one is the underpanel cover. Which cost about U$1300ish. plus the front bar with almost the same price, plus shipping etc...would be about U$3000ish...

That's why the came with a new front bar "Ad style"


This is the kit I like the most for an FD, 2nd is the burnout.

That was the kit I was going to get but figured since Chuck is making it there will be a lot of them here in the states...So I went with a bumper that nobody has here to my knowledge...

The RE Amemiya kits always look good, but with the canards and everything are probably a bit impractical for the street (well, my streets anyway).

Well I dunno about where you live, but even the LOOK of the RE kit is impractical if you cops in your area LOL

The look with just the undersweep and no canards, like Steve Cod use to have on his car looks the best and most practical for a street driven FD, IMO.

I bought mine from procarpart few year back for $500 and it fit prefect. I think Chuck is not making the N1 bumper anymore.

Meyers, I think the bumper alone is wayyyy too plain and round.

fd3s800, that's the first I hear of a procarparts part fitting perfectly haha

I'd only run that Amemiya thing on a track-only car, and only if I thought it actually worked.... Then I could take those ugly *** parts-bin signal lights off, and use the holes for brake ducts.

Do you have pics of the fitment of your bumper? I was thinking about getting that bumper too.
