Bomex. Don't know if they make it anymore. Check out the site.

I got bomex cause there's a sticker on the car. and the bumper looks like it's the only thing that's aftermarket on the car.

My favorite pignose bumper is K-Style:

Doesn't look like that car has a CA in it. VG maybe?

Only reason why I say is cause the hood is lifted. That's usually what they do when they install VG's. At least in s14's. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/notify.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':notify:'>

nah they wont waste their money on a VG in japan. RB if your that nuts. i've rarely (if ever) seen VGs in them.

its lifted to let hot air out from the turbo and engine. common site on drift cars..

Ahh, I see, I'm so doing to that my car <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':laugh:'>

I was about to say, wtf makes you think there's a VG in there? <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

Yah, it's basically a way of venting the engine compartment. A lot of people disagree about it because the joint is a high pressure area so you may have air curling back under instead of drawing it out.

And that is NOT the K-Style drift truck. You can see the 180SX truck in the background.

That doesn't look anything like the bomex that I remember... my240likenother (haven't seen him lately) has the bomex bumper and it's a bit different.

Hail to the pignose <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>
