As far as I am aware that front has not come out for the coupe yet. However, its only out for the sedan.

Ya, i'm thinking of putting it on my white coupe also. I just don't wanna be the first to try it...i wanna see more high quality pics of it.

Also, does anyone know if the CF lip is included in that $495? If it is, then its not a bad deal i suppose.

As much as I love the GT-R, I will not get this for my Coupe.

My goodness they are really playing out the Bumper.

The bumper should come with the cf lip. Total shipped should be about 625-650 with tax and dont forget paint and install. (Thank God I didnt pay that price)

FYi thou becareful very careful the bumper doesnt look low but im telling you in advance you will hit something. if you are running some type of springs you are promised with 100% that you will drive like a grandma to avoid to hit anything. especially if you live in cali your gonna hit or scrape something. Ait made the bumper shorter to avoid this and its still going to be an issue. Trust me im not on springs and I have a hard time, but hell cars looks damn good. Alot of people are like wtf? looks good

Cali? WHat about NY lol...

People are like "wtf" because its later than expected, more expensive, and they dont support the community much. (how about answering an email AIT).

Dude you gotta love some of these car parts people's marketing prowess sometimes. They want to succeed at making aftermarket parts for a particular car, yet they blow off a representative of one of the largest groups of enthusiasts for said vehicle. Um... exactly who in the hell do you expect to buy your product? I suppose they're planning on wishing them off the warehouse floor and onto cars. Putzes.

I can see why they don't support the community, just from the two threads I posted.

AIT Carbon fiber trunk with the lip spoiler.... interest thread like 3 pages long. -The actual product thread, probably like 1 page and I still don't think anyone bought it.

GTR Front bumper - 4 pages of people saying they are ready to buy, -the bumper comes out, this thread is dead as hell.

No one's buying anything we just have 40 people saying they want to buy it.

It is so true what you guys are saying. They need to reach out to the community but you also need to do it from a business point of view.Look at racingline. Great products, they had a group buys and it was very successful. Also they have good pricing on there products which helps our cars performance. Now a body kits, just for looks and its all about supply and demand. If the demand is there they would supply.

Aits front bumper is imported. You pay for you get for. But as I said again if anyone wants the bumper. I will pick it up for you. And i will ship it for you. I work with fedex and I get a huge discount. I also have a business account that I use for my family business to ship things. 150 for shipping i can ship it for less than half that cost. Im here to help out the community.

to me it seems that it's pretty simple. ait body parts don't really look very nice except for maybe the cf trunk with the spoiler, and on top of that they're waaaay expensive. i think people are willing to dole out the money for stillen parts at about the same price which look 10x nicer.

it's not about looks, AIT = fiberglass where as Stillen = polyurethane. That's the biggest difference, yet they both charge the same. If only stillen made CF parts....

Polyurathane FTW If I was rocking a fiberglass front end, it'd be toast by now!

agreed, that plays a huge role as well, inferior parts at a high cost.
