does anyone know where i can find a replica of this front bumper? spending $1500 + shipping from japan is insane to me, anything under $600 shipped is reasonable, i might get flamed for this but it doesn't bother me, i just want to know where if its available

 

This is the only company that still "alleges" to make them: JKL Racing Engineering - FD3S FlexFiber SS1 Front Bumper

Unfortunately they have been well documented on this forum for scamming people. So you're taking a big chance with a good chunk of change if you decide to get one from them.

 

Ive ordered parts from JKL and never had any problems.

 

i've seen JKL's website and i'm even local to them

tried calling them to see but never picks up

 

Ive been interested in this bumper too. makes my sploog everytime i see it. but on a serious note, even with paypal people were still scammed??

 

Try rhdjapan if I rember they have it but it is probly going to cost a lot

 

I e-mailed them about the bumper probably about a year ago. They responded and we had a back and forth conversation where they told me they had the bumper in stock and ready to send, but I never ended up pulling the trigger because of the previous people that had a bad experience.

I guess if you want to take the chance you can always get your money back through a paypal dispute, but it's still a risk.


rhdjapan sells real RE parts, not replicas

 

I wonder if it's the fact that I have a local area code, which is the reason he won't answer my calls, since he can't really scam me lol

 

To their credit though, after all that body parts stuff happened on here, they continued to sell smaller parts like aluminum door handles for a pretty long time and they had good ratings on places like ebay.

 

They have one on yahoo.jp auctions

 

Just because JKL doesn't rip off your money, there's are chance it won't ft right.

After a long drawn out group buy with him for the GTC bumper, it fits like $200 ebay special.

Yea but they're not exactly falling off of trees, the last one I saw went for over 80,000Y

 

tried searching for that but i couldn't find it, then i thought about it and finding someone that reads/writes japanese, has a yahoo.jp account, and is able to ship it over, is just too much work lol

 

i think thats the case with all aftermarket fiberglass bumpers, most fit bad and some fit really bad

 

I have an aftermarket one i might sell... I did modify it a bit though. I filled the center hole.I even have the side carbon pieces. pm me an offer if your interested.

I have the n105 version

 

Not all, Shine makes some nice stuff that fits well. I've seen some Pettit and J-spec stuff that fits well. Some sanding and maybe some filling is expected but not having to cut off the edge in order to fill in a 1/4-inch gap where the bumper meets the fender.

Perfect fit was one of the reason the JKL group buy supposedly took so long and why we paid $600+. The test fits were shown fitting well with no modification. No answers to phone or e-mail when there's problem, I only wanted him to exchange the test bumper from his car that fit for the one I got.

At least I got something for my money where many others were left standing by this crook.

I know this is a few months old but if you are still looking I have one of these Re-Amemiya Front bumpers I dont think Ill be using.. I can send pics of it mocked up with fitment if you are interested.

 

EPRacing in the uk, sell copy of the re-amemyia kit.
Rx7 RE-GT Wide Body Kit --- EP Racing

Im thinking about buying the front bumper for my drift car.

 

that's a long way from california, is there really no one else in the US that sells these? JKL doesn't count, i've tried contacting that guy 10+ times with the same run around..."it'll be ready next month"

 

Hey mate,

I have this bumper available in my catalogue. Do you mind to have to pick it at the nearest airport? In this case I think I can be able to ship it to you for 750 USD.





I also have the front CF canards for sale if you want them. Those could be put in the package for an extra 175 USD.
