Photos of the GTC style bumper on a FC
I know some of you guys are waiting for the 2nd Gen GTC style bumper fitted on a car and painted. Here are a few phots from Chris's car.
This bumper is from the first batch. The new ones are almost done.

We need better shots (no offense), but the car is too dark to get a good view from the wooded area (great for a photo shoot though!!!). If you could roll out to the parking lot or something with more light and a few angles...like ground view.

It looks ok. It's hard to tell from the pic, but it looks like the bumber is lower @ the front than the side of the car so they Curved it up to match the lines of the car. I'm hoping it's just my eyes.
Plz get some better lighting for the pics.
Personally, I don't think it suits the car. The bumper makes me think "FD wannabe." The FC is a bad *** looking car, and doesn't need to look like anything else.
Although, it could look a lot better if it were a bit longer maybe, it slants to much from the rest of the front.
But it does look ok in some angles. I'd have to see some better pics.

Is that an Initial D sticker on the side?????
I think the bumper looks good, but tone down the splitter as it comes up the side, it comes up too far.

The lines don't match up. Round to square. Dunno, not for me though.

Seems like alot of people think this, the round to square differences, the bumper does have sharp edges to it, more than the RE Amemiya bumper that everyone would kill their own dog for. Not saying that the GTC bumper looks better than it, but it is very similar styling and everyone seems to hate it? Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but to turn around and say the Amemiya is wicked sweet....I dont see how that makes any sense.

Looks a bit warped or something in a few of the shots... And the paint doesnt look like it matchs too much either (no offense to whoever owns that). I think if you are going to be selling the bumper, make a full kit. It looks kinda funny with just the bumper.
