Unhappy J's type S front bumper

Ok so both the CF and FG version cost more than 1g
anywhere to get some nice replica for half the price or less?

How low is it compared to stock FB without the lip??

replica=no.

Do you know why they cost over 1k? Quality engineering, fitment, and materials.


If you want cheap shit, go find yourself an extreme dimensions fiberglass kit, that will most likely cost the same as genuine after the bodyshop gives you a ridiculous quote on fitment since the fiberglass is warped so badly. Add the fact that replica parts havent been wind tunnel tested, and you get none of the benifits of increases aerodynamics, all you get is the look, which will be sub-par.

There are some really good fitting copies, and I really don't think that most of the people here really take advantage of the aero performance aspect of the kits that are made for our cars.

Sad thing is that some of them don't even touch the track
