I believe thats an FD aftermarket cover fitted to an FC

you can probably buy the bumper - but you'd need to talk to a guy like me to put it on

or find another competent body shop because it won't just bolt up

Why don't you just ask the owner of the car?

are you sure about that? i vaugly remember that picture from a long time ago, and that, that was an FD bumper fitted to the FC. think it required some modification of the fenders and such.

Itd ve very pricy, but a very good idea to have a professional shop make it fit.

If im wrong, and that was a production, Id defanitly like to know who made it, and when they stopped. Id like to get one of those.

I beleive rotary extreme makes that front. It was designed awhile back. It was a production front end for a FC, not a FD front fitted. I dont beleive they sell them anymore, I would email them to find out. www.rotaryextreme.com

they dont sell them anymore as product response was poor from the cheap *** FC public. and not to mention the fd bumper doesnt match the FC lines.. it looks good on that car because itsa wide body. its jsut too curvy. i had a friend that got like the second bumper from the mold... i know

The bumper -WAS- a custom peice made by Rotary Extreme, period. Based off of an FD GT-C front end.

They had some quality issues (came out kindof wavy) and, like anything else, were "too expensive" for FC owners, and no more than the 1st test-run of 5 or 6 were made.

The only 2 I know of on-car, are on Carl Byck's widebody, and the black SR20 Powered Drift FC; the drift FC's was even damaged to the point where he replaced part of the bumper w/ sheet metal, so make that 5 that are still around.

I doubt you'll ever be able to find one of the other 4 (other than Carls), and good luck getting such a rare peice off of the owners, and even if you DO find one... they were flawed from the get-go.

You're gunna have to do some custom stuff yourself if you want one.

IT IS NOT a Knightsports bumper. Why don't you people actually look at the pictures of the KS bumper on Corksports site... They are not even close....

...and I'm sure your FC is a peach...

...different strokes for different folks...

...just be happy there are only half a dozen of them in exhistance. While you're at it, be "happy" that it's your attitude that keeps people from producing new parts for our cars...

Dude the factory lines on the FC are fine for me, I think the kit is ******* ugly and if you like, great. To each there own, but don't start **** man. Body kit designers will still continue to make kits no matter what I think, money is money and if it looks bad they don't care as long as some chode buys it and gives them a profit. I would much rather make my car track fast then look fast.

...if you care about making your car fast, then make a post asking about making your car fast...then I can make a post saying your car is a slow turd, and that your opinion of 'fast' is geriatric-speed...same difference...

...I'm done...

...sorry thread-starter, but you're really out of luck on this one...
