Could someone let me know what bumper this is and where I can purchase it?
I've searched until my eyes hurt and couldn't find any info...
Thanks!!

actually, the nismo bumper is a little different so i don't think that's the one (see pic below).
i know of seen that on a few cars, and i'm thinking it might be the optional specR aero bumper, but i'm not positive. finding it would be almost impossible though.
(here's a nismo bumper just for the record)

EDIT:
just in case you haven't seen it, the Vis "striker" style bumper does look quite similiar to that one, and is real cheap. i have heard quality/fitment issues with it though, but i guess you can't expect too much for a $200 bumper. here's a shot of it for comparison:

that same style bumper is on a gold s14 zenki in the gallery.... so sick, with those slots in the splitter
I believe there is a Nismo bumper and then there is a factory optional nismo bumper which is what I was refering to.

That is the optional OEM AERO SpecR front bumper. VIS makes a copy of that bumper...the name is "G-Force".

it was actually on intense motorsports' site (www.i-m-racing.com) and i just stumbled upon it while searching for S15 bumpers. that's funny that it's your old car though, and i will add that it looked real nice!

Thanks everone for your help... I definitely don't want the Drift bumper. It's like the most popular cheerleader in school, everyone has had it at one point.
I definitely want this bumper, whatever it is... I know it's polyurethane instead of fiberglass, and it's from Nismo, but that's all I know... I guess nobody knows where to get it or how to order one. :(

I have to make a note that Jspec.com can possibly get you that bumper....however if they do...its going to cost you ALOT of money. Infact...it will cost more than the normal OEM bumper with Gracer lip.
I wonder if he's going to read my post. :rolleyes:

I read your post, and the previous one, and all the other people who posted all kinds of different names for this bumper.
I went on the VIS website earlier and searched everywhere for the replica bumper and couldn't find it. Either way, I'd preffer to spend the extra money for the original poly bumper, which will definitely be better quality, have OEM fitment, and probably last alot longer.
I like this bumper better than the OEM & Lip combo, but if the total cost of getting it exceeds $1000 or so, the OEM bumper would be my second choice.
Thanks for the help, and the sarcasm...

I remember way back when I e-mailed Sam (Jspec.com) for a price on that bumper...back when I wanted the S15 front end. Anyways...he quoted me at $500 plus shipping for an used bumper. I don't know if the price has changed since its been well over a year. But that bumper is VERY nice and if you have the $$$.....GET IT!!!!
BTW...the bumper is on the site...
http://www.visracing.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=1323
Since its a knock-off...it can not look 100% like the original or else that company is getting a phatty lawsuit.
The blue car (the last two pics) on your previous post is rocking that bumper (VIS). His just painted the lower portion to give off an appeal that it has a lower lip. You can also see the differences on the duct open upfront. The owner use to post on this board...I forget his name at the time.

Thank for the info... Jspec has the stock bumper at $550, so I doubt I'll find this bumper for that price or anywhere near, probably :-/
Thenks for your help, now I just need to call and find out how much this is going to hurt the wallet... :hs:

ok dood i found your bumper, but to be honest i dont know how you would get it unless you do a search and get lucky, its made by west yokohama and its not made of urethane but its exactly the bumper you want, i have the phone number but unless you speak fluint japanese they cant and wont talk to you. 045-923-0771 but i would suggest doing a search for "west yokohama aero" first
