You can actually buy these parts the day they come out in Japan. Infact I just ordered my CFRP Type V hood and one of my friends ordered the new front bumper with canards. ETA is 3 weeks... We could have flown it in in 3-5 days but this time we can wait...

What J's Racing does, is test everything on the track. They participate in LeMans championships, and after quite a lot of kilometers their results have shown that the engine temperature decreased about 10-15 degrees Farehneit.. So this front bumper WORKS.

By The Way, Big Ben I'm not an expert in fluid dynamics, and I WONT DISAGREE with you!
But, if that thing works, then i don't care if this is a cow catcher bumper.

I just ask that you give fair warning to the neighborhood children prior to installing this thing. We don't want the kiddies to get radiator fin imprints on their foreheads when they get sucked into that big a$$ hole.

Here is the breakdown. Most Spoon goodies you can go straight through Ben at AJ Racing and they usually 2 day air the parts to you, if they have them instock. For other parts like ARC, J's Racing I go through Boom Plus Toys out of Canada. They can bring in any J's Racing part available instock at J's in 4-5 weeks. Now if you want it rushed like overnight then you pay extra of course. I had my J's Racing valvecover rushed to me in 3 days. Some of the items like Cwest and such I used to go through Motorex if they had them instock if they dont call them up directly in Japan. As long as you can wire them the money they will ship to the US. Hope this sheds some light. Good luck..

I'm in no way an expert either, but you don't have to be to see that this bumper is in no way more aerodynamic than stock. I'm sure it does lower the engine temp, there's no doubt in my mind that it does that. But is it needed? Nope. Especially with the larger radiator they use for these races.

Big Ben, of course that huge opening isnt good for aerodynamics! We all know that! And Im sure Js knows that, too.
But what do you need an aerodynamicly designed bumper is small circuits where top speed is 160 km/h ?? The new bumper is designed to offer maximum air flow direct to the radiator.
Maybe they want to lose 5-10 km in top speed in order to decrease the temperature...

We order most of our parts from out of country distributors. Some stateside. For instance my Cusco rollbar; most of you guys waited 3-6 months for it. I ordered mine 2 months after you guys did and got it in 3 weeks. I could have got it in 5 days but Cusco does not stock this cage in Japan. They are made to order only and thats an automatic 14 day wait then another 5 days to get to us in the states. It takes 5 days because it sits at customs waiting to be cleared. So mine took a total of 19 days. I flew it in on China Airlines. Small comercial airline at some airports. I went to the airport to pick it up..
