Looks ok but doesn't match up to the bonnet or wings very well.

The original is fitted much better than the white one, which by the owners admission was 'thrown' at the car as he couldn't wait for the bodyshop to fettle it. MikeC who commissioned the original, had an 02 bumper modified to retain the pop-ups effectively ending up with a hybrid front end.

The part you are referring to from Erick is the result of around 3 years of work by the owner of the Silver NSX (now for sale). I actually like the look of this (but not the lip spoiler) if used in conjunction with the 02 sills and rear valance.

However, this version is only available if FRP. Several of us had requested that they only produce the upper part, in polyurathane, and we could then bolt it to the OEM lower part. This would give OEM fit finish and resilience to stone chips etc. I fear that the FRP version will not wear well on todays roads.

TVRs are FRP, they seem OK.

I am not too sure about the look, look bodged to me.

I don't like the new bumper shape. It looks droopy or bottom heavy.

I'm not sure how polyurethane is moulded, but my guess is that it is injection moulded. This would require tooling that is not fianancially viable for small numbers. FRP and CF even, only requires a female mould.

I like the front look too and like Paul, don't like the lower lip spoiler. The problem then is, you need to get the side sills extension and to continue this continous line to the rear, where you need the lower 02+ look! Great thing is you loose the not so lovely head lights jet washers!
