I'm going to post more pictures tonight some shots of us making the bumper when it’s in two pieces and night shots of the lights, and some other shots. Also I have been getting a lot of people who are questioning about making copies, but they would probably be in fiberglass. I will try to get more details about copies soon. Also believe it or not there is absolutely no bondo on this bumper, we used special glue from 3M that body shops use to glue new door skins on cars. Thanks for looking

I did cut the fenders a little to make it look the way I wanted it to, but when I make a mold that will not be necessary because we will fit it to the stock fenders.

Pricing and bumper completion of first bumper copies will be available about the first of April. A good deal of people have asked about copies the bumper so I think it’s a good idea to make up some copies. I have a guy that does great fiberglass work he builds parts for vintage race cars, lotus, Ferraris and anything else. He is working out a price right now and trying to find the best materials for the job, I don’t want to make replicas that fit and are made and fit like carp. They will be high quality. Ill keep you guys updated.

To my surprise that actually looks pretty good. Reminds you of a skyline. IT needs a lip badly, though...like a feed replica, or even something like an FD r1 lip.

That would look pretty sick with a big FMIC core behind there...

Its looks great now but with a FEED lip and FMIC, it'll be drop dead gorgeous.

Any plans to market?

J-Rat Plans are currently in the works, will have a price before April 1st. It will be fiberglass but it will not be thrown together, if I’m going to reproduce this I want it to be as nice as mine.

I'll take one as well, as long as the price is good. It looks killer, best "body enhancement" for an RX-7 I've ever seen........EVER!!!!
