Here is to anyone who was curious what I am replacing the Zeal Bumper with. It's a D1GP bumper which I believe is not even avabile in Japan yet until it is over. Atleast thats what Sam and Richard said. Or maybe that just feed me a line of crap so I'd be suckered in to buy something clean. :p

Anyways I swore all Sam at Jspec.com sold me was vertex bumper but the more I looked at the two the more I could see subtle diffrences.
1. The lip is indented in the middle and on the sides flare out a bit more.
2. The center opening the curves are more sharp and not as rounded as vertex.
3. The The divider between the main opening and side opening have the lip come out w/ the lip instead of flat like vertex.
4. The opening are bigger then vertex too.
5. But yeah they both practically look the damn same! :p
Heh I should have not been so skeptical from the start! Truely being a one of a kind D1GP bumper or not it's very clean and I would have bought it regardless. Hope you guys like it over my previous GTR and Zeal bumper! This one is hear to stay! And being that it's good japanese fiberglass won't break so easy. :D
Don't worry I have other REAL mods underway too. :cool:

lol I agree :D
Either that or start spending more on the engine and less on the exterior. Last body mod should be silvia wing :bigok:

Acually sometime down the line I after some other major mechanical stuff I thought I would finish off the D1GP bumper with vertexs sides and rear. I would have to cut out a square out of the rear bumper to get it to clear my DD Exhaust though. Yeah US bodykits suck! Quality wise!

After I get the bumper on I'm going to buy a set of Buddy Club Coilovers Racing Spec.
I'm pushin back my motorswap back a bit but it's not that big of a deal or hurry for me. Then motorswap. Then prob finish it up the vertex kit. Yes I work alot! I'd like to have that hood and fenders too! The fenders are suposed to allow 9.5 30offset wheels up front but I'm already pushin 9inch 15 offst with stock fenders upfront! Of course I'm not slamed up front and have slighty less then a inch of gap left.
