Default Where can I get this bumper?

I believe it is/was from "Algernon". Does anyone have any information? Is it FRP or urethane?

Thanks

no i don't think so. the front middle part of the stock bumper isn't as low as the sidee of the front bumper. i am not sure what they are too though. on first glance i thought they were session, but doesn't look like so

That picture is actually in the GS bodykit gallery. I've wanted that bumper for a while now too, but can't seem to find anything about it. The pic is titled "Algernon".

I have the web address, but i don't know how to type it out since it is in japanese. This is the exact bumper i want but i can't find someone to order it for me. Here is pics of the side skirts and the rear bumper of the sister kit (for some reason i can"t download the algernon pics). this one is called "rescole". They are very similar except the front bumper.

Where did you get the pics of the "sister" kit? There's got to be a CL member that can speak Japanese here?

The Algernon bumper looks similar to a stock bumper, but it fills in the fron notch. Similar to the TTE, but without the seams. Also, there's absolutely no "flair" at the lower end, giving it a smooth, classy appearance.

Someone help us find this!

Ummm...Algernon Division only makes the side mirror blinkers for the Aristo. They don't make any body parts. The website is also defunct currently. I hope they haven't gone bankrupt because their blinkers are the thinnest and brightest in the market....

As for the bodykit, I've actually only seen ONE real life picture of the kit somewhere online. I never saw it being featured in any magazines, never caught a glimpse of it in any websites online or on any car shows and photoshoots, etc. So it's going to be tough to actually find out who makes it. It looks very similar to JoBlood but i know it's not.
