Default very rare jdm bumpers D-Speed & Approval

I have 2 very rare front bumpers from two very good jdm companies...
the first is a D-speed front bumper... will fit gs300/400/430...
this bumper is a very rare bumper and i probably have one of the only ones in the country...

the second bumper is a APPROVAL front bumper for the same car....
it is also very very rare... this one is definitely the only one in the country...

both these bumpers are $500 and shipping is probably about $150... they must go truck freight...

these front bumpers are brand spankin new...

Isn't this the same bumper that's been advertised on many websites for many years?

Just seems like your second bumper's not that rare......

Don't mean to rag on your thread....

Just checking.......

Yeah I've seen the D-Speed kit before here in the states. I'll take it if you can work something better with the shipping..

Is the one in the first pic made to have some kind of fogs integrated in those big holes on the sides? If so, do you know if they built it with a particular set, size, etc. in mind?

Also, anyone have any links to pics of that bumper on a car by any chance?

It wasn't at astore.. It was on a GS driving around.. Don't hold me to it though, it could have been a knock-off..

Damn, those holes look huge on that front end for some reason, maybe its the plexi covers. They dont look anywhere near that size on the pic up top.

It's a pretty racy spoiler.
Looks great imo if you go for a race theme.

does the Approval bumper come with the plexiglass foglight covers?

BTW that background looks like Area 51 showroom.

That Appoval kit reminds me of a WRX with those huge fog lights...
