My personal FD used to have 93-95 stock bumper with 99 spec lip, now with the GT-C it scrapes slightly more often. So if you scrape with stock bumper, you WILL scrape with this bumper as well. Sorry about that, but that's the fact.

But in terms of scrape and bump resistance of our flexible FRP GT-C bumper, I once hit a fairly large hole in the ground due to road construction at around 35 mph and the bottom of the bumper is still fine as new, just all the paint is gone.
You haven't seen potholes till you've seen the ones around here when it starts to get nice enough to drive an FD again. I scrape in my bone stock 95 celica, I'm just afraid of getting it ripped off. I understand the flexible part and I would totally buy it, but the city council has this thing about putting speed bumps with no way around them. That and where I park is the worst, 6 inch speed bumps, these things are MASSIVE! that and the ruts in the road are pretty bad too. Grr... what to do what to do? At the very least once I get the car back (new flywheel and clutch, it's up in the air now waiting for the flywheel to come in) I'll check and see how much clearance I would have.

6" speed bump, lol, that's no speed bump, thats speed stop!

Yeah, just let us know if you decide to get the bumper.


Again, just want to let everyone else who might be interested in this bumper know, this is a limited edition release and we will be closing this GB sometime soon. Once this GB is closed, this bumper will not be available to any individual buyers, except the customers who participated in this GB.

kwerks, your payment has been received. We will get your shipment out asap! Thanks!

sk8erpunk1983, there should be at least one car representing our products there. For the race version GT-C specifically, hopefully Mark's car, the one posted in post#362, will make it to Seven Stock. So hopefully the cars will be fully prepped before Seven Stock.

Announcement: We are now accepting $100 deposit for the splitter order so please send the payment to sales@jklre.com or if you want to pay with direct credit card please contact us for more details.

For everyone who already sent in your deposit but have not yet paid in full, we already sent out a message to each of you requesting for the remaining payment for the bumper. Please let us know your current status! Thanks!


Update:
For those who is sending in payments for signals, we will be using air shipping directly from Japan, so you will need to add $50 for shipping. This is only an estimate, if the actually cost appears to have a significant difference, we will quote you the additional or refund you the extra as needed. Thank you!


We are going to offer a flat shipping rate for convenience and you can decide on if you want to wait for other parts to be completed for combined shipping. We will see if Damian's rebar can fit in the same box with the bumper, if so, then shipping for rebar will be free for those who purchase our bumper. Splitter will have to be shipped in another box and shipping cost will be additional.

US Domestic Shipping Price on bumper only or bumper w/ signals shipments:$160

For those of you sending in the remaining payment for bumper only purchases, the amount due is $600 + $160 shipping = $760 - $200 deposit = $560 (Please use e-check so we can save some fees since we are not charging anyone for paypal fee for this GB. Thanks!)

From SevenStock. Fitment is nice and it certainly got attention at the show. Didn't have the proper adhesive/tape to put on the front lenses and no time or the Dzsu (sp?) fasteners to install the splitter.

The splitters are actually in stock but we are waiting for more ppl to see if we could provide everyone that $30 discount. Also, we do not have the proper boxes to ship these splitters yet since it takes them a while to custom order the boxes.

Also, the splitter is way oversized for any regular ground shipping services so it will have to go via Greyhound or Freight. We found Greyhound to be way cheaper, only around $70 in shipping with insurance for such a large item while Freight charges by the distance and can go easily up to $400 if you are from the East coast.

What are you referring to as bundle freight shipping? If you are talking about shipping your bumper and splitter both together via Freight and hope to get a discount then no, because freight goes by distance and dimensional weight since these pieces are large in size but light in physical weight. So freight cost is way higher than regular ground service. That's why we recommend shipping the splitter via Greyhound for the cheapest cost available and go via DHL for the bumper box for their insurance coverage because Greyhound only covers up to $300 in insurance.

If you are talking about combining several splitters which will be shipped to the same area or city for several different people, then yes, we can definitely do that through Freight and get everyone a good discount. But I don't think this is the case here.

sorry, I will not be able to work on a new rebar for a while. Had a big change in my company and need to focus on work for a while. But once I get things squared away at work (that will take some time) then I will focus on the rebar and other parts again.
