Another "What is this FD bumper" thread

Wasn't sure if this belonged in the Interior / Exterior / Audio or 3rd Generation Specific forum, but saw a few similar threads here so decided to post.

I have spent ages going through all the different bumper options available for the FD trying to track down what this is with no luck.

I came across this photo from the Japanese Attack event of a front bumper I have completely fallen in love with. It keeps a lot of the queues from the stock Series 8 bumper, but with narrower oil cooler inlets and a large main air dam.

A little bit more digging got me a bit more info on the car. It is own by a guy called Iida who represents the Elite Racing Corporation (ERC-Rotary) workshop. His car appears in their website's banner photo.

There was a feature of him a few years ago in Narita Dogfight, however in this image he seems to have been running an RE Amemiya AD9 bumper.

There's a whole bunch that appear come close (eg, the KS-Auto Burnout) but aren't the same on closer inspection.

So yeah, any ideas?

Looks like a modified CWest to me. There is the very real chance that these guys are doing custom one-offs for their specific vehicle/race. You can see it's very wide-body and the integral lip matches, but the venting is different.
