R33 Kouki front bumper question

[DonDeago]

Whats up, I'm a newbie yes..haha, and i did search on this one. My Vertex front is a little strange and I'm looking to change it out. First I'll ask, with my vertex front there are two almost fang lookin pieces on the top of my bumper where the grill is supposed to fit. Well, now that they're there and attatched to the bumper, I can't put my grill there, has anybody ever seen that? I've looked but have yet to find anything like that. So now, my other question. I've been looking into front bumpers and really like the "R33" front. Now I know VIS Racing sells them, but i've purchased through them before and the quality was questionable. So is that the best bet with buying that front? Or is there somewhere else where I can purchase it? Thanks a lot, sorry if these are stupid questions!!!

So you have a Vertex bumper but want to swap it to some knockoff R33 style bumper...? I dunno about the mesh on the Vertex, but as far as the R33 style bumper, I'd just get it from VIS, I'd imagine the fitment would be questionable from any place you order it.

Well thats the thing, if its just "some knockoff" bumper I wasnt going to get it. I thought maybe there was somebody who manufactured it, other than VIS. Thanks though, I'll keep looking.

Yeah sure, there's other people making that R33 looking bumper but its most likely just a copy of the VIS bumper.

r33 is knockoff. vertex aero dosent have a grill delete. sounds like you have b magic uras copy?

yeah thats b magic which is a copy of uras type 2 (the front bumper) and the skirts are vertex style which could be any number of brands, version select, origin, ebay. either get a vertex style front bumper or keep that one, r33 front bumper would be beyond gross. integrated bumper grill delete is 20x better than almost all kouki grills.

if you really want an r33 bumper, why not just buy one and make it fit?

have some fun with it, c'mon

let him be a ricer with his car ok? its not yours, and you dont have to drive it. :gives:

[DonDeago]

Guys, i'd like to stay as far from that term "ricer" as i can, since all my friends are drivin their mustangs. I saw the R33 off of ONE car and liked it...and that car didn't look too "ricer" to me. In fact, believe it or not I have a little taste when it comes to cars. But yea, i get enough of that ricer crap from my buddies. But i was simply just wondering about it, since i am new and all to the 240's in general haha. But thanks everybody. My sides and rear are authentic Vertex, I just wasnt sure about my front. So that piece on my front is called the grill delete?

[KOUKI KA-T]

Did you buy that from someone up in NH?? I've seen that exact car at NED last year a couple times...

[turknjd]

just leave it the way it is and buy some new wheels.

[DonDeago]

I bought the car from a guy from Vermont actually who moved down to florida. And yeah, the new wheels are coming. 18" staggered set up, not sure what wheels yet.
