It's a custom bumper based on the Top Fuel Racing kit:

Getting the feeling you're not too keen on this one!

Ah well, its that or the A-spec bumper, but can' find one of those anywhere at the moment! Got a little bit of time to hunt one down though!

That bumper and the top fuel bumper are completely different. The bumper the OP person posted is completely custom, can't remember where the owner is located, either Europe or Australia.

Why do they lift the rear of the hood like that? I understand it could release some of the heat in the engine bay but doesn't it cause more harm than good with the high pressure zone being located at the base of the windshield?

No real reason. It was an old drifter fad...

Yes, I own Rx7 Boutique. The A-spec isn't exactly cheap.
