Default Wald ISF front bumper and RMI scoops

Does anyone know if there are replicas of the WALD front bumper? Also, I want to get RMI scoops, where can I go or who do I have to call to get a pair? I really don't want to spend 2,500$ on the bumper.

Mods I have now: Wald Carbon fiber lip spoiler, toms diffuser, K&N intake, K&N air filter, Borla Catback, Sikky headers, Aerofunction front lip spoiler (it's junk)

I think they stopped making those rmi scoops... honestly those aren't very well designed. My best friend and I made something way better than those tiny scoops.

Rarely some will pop up in the 2IS classifieds. I think the consensus was they look cool, but don't actually do much.

Replica WALD fronts were mainly designed for the 2IS in mind. With the front being slightly different in terms of lines and where the grilles are located, it would look off to put a replica one on. It's hard to justify spending that much for just a front lower bumper, but the lines are kept exact with the body of the IS F.

It does make a big difference, it reduced the engine bay temp by 10-15 degrees. We did notice that at high speeds the temperature goes down by 20-30 degrees. The engine itself is getting lots of cold air.
