I'm sure there's enough people interested to warrant a group buy. I'm in.

I've never been a fan of the CR bumper and I've never been a fan of aftermarket replica bumpers/lips, but let me tell you, this one looks damn good!!

This is an option we may be able to entertain in the future dependent on the success of this first. Making these is not an easy process. We started back in March of 2016 and barely have a first sample to test as of now. If we had done this in FRP it would have been much faster. Everyone makes bumpers in FRP because of the quick turn around and low cost in molds. We wanted this to be more tough and durable like OEM. Polyurethane molds cost twice to three times the cost to make. So the initial investment risk is quite high. So the success of this new bumper is heavily based on how attractive it looks, price, durability, fitment, features, etc. With any luck these will sell well enough for us to invest into another style the public will be interested in. Maybe Ap2 w/ Ap2 lip. :wink:

Maybe the best Ballade Sports S2000 product yet.

Waiting to see an unbiased review and comments.

So we tried to stick with the OEM durability and look but just a little improved. This is for those who want a good clean upgrade without having to buy an expensive OEM lip new or Ap2 bumper for those with Ap1 cars.
So will this fit AP1 without concern for cracking? Or does the AP1 bumper frame metal need to be shaved to avoid ruining/cracking this bumper too?

Looks like a great product that will inject options into making your S2000 look and have aero like a CR and have added benefits. The only thing I have noticed is the alignment between the bumper cover and the fender at the wheel opening and inside edge of the headlight, they are slightly misaligned on both sides.

Perhaps just a prototype thing?
