Absolutely, call bulletproof automotive. I’ve already emailed them a few months back , asking the same thing. It didn’t show up at first but he emailed me back and he can get it. The rear is sick as well. Hope this helps you.

Maybe the rear I am thinking of is the V-Vision rear. The premier esprit may just be a rear canard system.

Gotcha.

I think the front really updates the look of the car. I don't know if it is lower than the OEM bumper.

Once I get a hold of it, I will order the front.

You can order one from these guys if you have the money to pay for shipping from Dominican Republic. Don't know anything about fitment, quality or customer service.

Hmmmmmm. Wonder if those boys in the Dominican are selling the chinese “caract” knock off. Lol. They also make a knock off of the V vision kit as well. Knock off , rep, what ever. Lol. I do fancy their GS conversion actually.

1) where did you buy from ?

2) difficulty of install ?

3) quality of product ?

4) is the total height of bumper same as oem or is it longer (closer to street)?

5) any rear pics of your car ?
