At first glance that's what I thought it was. But the AC looks more factory 97+ with a lip and modified grill.
This has the grill of the AC but no OEM air inlets next to the fogs

It looks to be a custom or a very limited run from a small shop. I have searched the web in various languages even contacted a couple shops in japan. I just purchased this car and the bumper was damaged during transport. Looks like I'm going to have to find a shop in miami with some great fiberglass repair skills.

Did you purchase from Japan??? Would be curious if you can share the transportation costs and the paperwork challenges bringing these into the country... (The right hand drive would freak me out.... )

Nice acquisition …..

If this is now your car, the great news is that there's probably an emblem or markings on the inside of the bumper by the shop that made it. That's the best way to determine real vs replica aero. All the Japanese companies proudly stamp or badge their parts while all the knockoffs usually have nothing, which seems really weird even from a business sense. Wouldn't you want people to know you made it?!? lol

@duck I purchased it from an import dealer here in the states . I receive it on Monday and will take a look at the inside of the bumper and post pictures of it as well.
