Hey All,

I'm trying to find a 96ish 180SX front bumper. Bomex and a couple others make bumpers that look close, but not quite it. With all the front clips coming in I would have thought they'd be around, but I can't find one.

Any help appreicated,MN240SX

the pdm-racing front bumper looks good, and pretty close to type x.

It does look nice, but doesn't look anything like the 180SX Type-X bumper. The one that I saw on the PDM site was an underbumper for a 91-94.

:D

I don't think you will be able find the type x bumper off from a front clip.. they will take off all the goodies before they ship it to US, GP-Sports makes 2 styles which very close to type x

I might be wrong, but I think pdm-racing only makes front lips not whole bumper

:confused:

No doubt Don makes a cool lookin' spoiler, but it doesn't look like the 180's. The one in the picture has tear drop turn signals and much different dividers.

I saw the GP sports one, but how's the quality on it?

Thanks,From the cold dark north.

Check SKR Performance .

They are located in Jersey and have a good selection of kits not normally seen.Check out the "GP Sports" and "G-grow" kits, they look closer to what you are looking for.

And red240ne... no they don't:pfacewell... if you squint, tilt your head to the left, and get to about a 60 deg. angle to the screen...

I can't speak from experiance, but I have seen the GP kits around a bit (lots of japanese drifting vids) and they appear to have a good customer base. You can't get that without having a good product.

Might check Takakaira's page too.

The G-Grow is pretty dead on for what I'm lookin' for.

The GP Sports looks pretty close too, the first time I looked at their picture on the web I was kind of concerned about fitment, it looked like it wasn't quite right. But the more I look at it the better it looks to me.

Basically I'm shooting to make my car look like the 240SX Type X in GT3 ;)

Thanks All

G-grow is very close, though I think it flairs more towards the ground than stock or the GP. Looks pretty good.

I wouldn't recommend anyone getting the Ab-flug kit, thats the one I plan on getting... I will find you!:mad:

jk

either that or the Top Secret front end...

the only problem is they are a lot of $$$$
