I'll guess...

It's a BLUE Bumper..and Fiberglass..Oh..it's a FRONT Bumper!..(oh come on..heh..I don't drink so let me get "funny"..lol!)

VIS Racing maybe...Lots of generic stuff out there..like AIT Racing too.

Also that all the "I wanna DRIFT" cars look the same. It's the same one or two kits for every single car.

The FC is gorgeous stock. Why mess with it?!

Leaving my extrior factory except hood and wing (wing is the last thing on my priority list). other than that it just needs a fresh coat of paint a few dents pulled. No point in a fancy looking car if your drifting, you're gonna smoke the wall some time, hence why I'm waiting on getting the wing, whats the point of dumping 1k on a wing just to have it ripped off. I understand why you want to make a car look good, but I wouldnt do it and then put the car in hazardous scenarios where it would have a high probability of getting messed up.

Most of the aftermarket bumpers are GP and BN copies. Hence the "every kit looks the same"

There is actually a decent thread documenting bumpers/kits here:

I'm trying to get a Kit ..BUT it's not in the budget paying the price of shipping a kit Internationally..
It's like 500 plus to ship!!.,.then you pay for the kit too?...NO!
There's supposed to be a guy that gets stuff from Andy's and he is about an hour away,so I am waiting until they get back from "March Break".

I like a lot the stock rx7 body exterior.
But the bumper i got it for a really cheap price..

They only thing i hate about most aftermarket parts is that they're fiberglass and not flexible like the stock bumper..

Ya,that is what is keeping me from a lot of kits too..they don't flex.
I'm pretty good and don't usually hit **** when driving but then there is always "the powers that be" that can influence the car to get a nice Boo-Boo..and That is what scares me.I'd do all that work for nothing.
I saw "duraflex" where they twist the bumper up,so I IF the bumper is made of the same basic material of the Stock bumper then I will get something I like in that material.
