1. 1950$
2. yes it comes with fog lights
3. they come with a wiring harness to connect to the battery. they also have a wireless remote for turning them on...personally i might hardwire them to my parking lights
4. yes its for sale, except no one has them in stock. you either need to place a deposit, or pay upfront depending where you want to buy one from

$1950 is high. I have seen it as low as $1904, check out rmstuning.com and they advertised that they will beat any price or shipping rate.

If they can not beat a lower price, then I would try Bulletproof Automotive. They probably get the best rate anyways!!!

Now honestly, if you're spending $1900 on a bumper what the hell is $46?

You must read the full post. Its not only the $50 dollars. Also, that is an advertised price. I am sure if you contact them, they will give you a much lower price. You also must account for SHIPPING. They advertised that they will beat the price and shipping to you.

Like I said, if they can not beat it, then check out Bulletproof Automotive, if rmstuning can not do it, I am almost certain that Bulletproof can do it.

Uhh, newbie, Bulletproof gets it from Opak and there is no more discount even if you give them $1900 cash. So no you wont get it for cheaper unless your sponsored by Spoon and only 1 S2000 is right now in California. I wouldnt go with RMStuning because of the horror stories with my friends orders in the past.

Um, according to Bulletproof Automotive, Revolution Motorsports is a very good business. And yes, I have heard of the horror stories. But according to Bulletproof, they posted info about them and they turned out to be in a different country and had their passports stolen (3rd world country) and had to wait to get new passports. Also, according to someone I spoke to, Revolution Motorsports had refunded all customers the money for orders once they got back.

And come on, I am in the wholesale DVD business and I am sure that the pricing structure is not very different from the Automotive business. People are under contract to advertise no lower than certain prices. It does not, in any way mean that they can not beat a certain price.

I am sure that Opak, Revolution Motorsports, Bulletproof Automotive most likely buys it somewhere around 30% off or more. How do you think they are making so much money, opening large inventory business and sponsoring cars. How else can it be done if they are only making bare minimum profit. And I don't care if you are sponsor by Spoon, they are still even making money off of you. Remember, people get into business to make money, and lots of it. They don't get into business to turn a loss.

Last year, my DVD business bought in over $150,000 profit. And that is only making about $4 profit on each DVD. I am sure that the company is making at least $500 - $1000 profit per item on selling you this Spoon bumper.

Remember, they can sell it to you a lot cheaper, its just that they do not advertise and market it at that price because they got tons of people with lots of money who are eager to buy these items at ridiculous prices.

I will take you, JsAP1, as an example. I am in no way trying to point you out or correct you. I am simply trying to give you an example. I have seen your car tons of times. I must admit, simply beautiful!! But that Mugen bumper you have, HELLO, according to a source, my friend who was in the business, King Motorsports gives their top wholesalers a 15% discount off Mugen. Now that is a lot of profit to be made on Mugen. Since King is selling you the frickin bumper at their list price. King sells Mugen stuff at NO DISCOUNT. Now, if a top wholesaler is getting 15%, its pretty safe to say that King is getting probably around 25% off.

Now I just checked, King is selling the bumper for $1958. YIKES!!! A top wholesaler is getting 15% off of that, which means that they paid $1664.30. And they are turning around and selling it to you at a much higher rate. So now, just imagine what King is paying for it.

BTW, I know someone personally who paid $1833 for the bumper!!! This is no BS! I don't lie, I am only very open and very honest.
