yeah, I knew they were making one for a while, but they didn't release any news on it until now, so I started looking elsewhere.
I can't wait for this one, and a couple hundred dollars cheaper? thank you please

Its not even that its cheaper. I dont mind paying what its worth for the real one, but this one is ATTAINABLE and you dont have to pay 50293848 for shipping and another 2085577219 for customs. You dont get ripped off.
If i get a body kit, this is the one. I'll hold off on that V1 lip now...lol. Man this, w/ my wheels...plus the evo R wing...JIZZ!

kick ***. Im gonna talk to ken and get one of these! Shine Auto has badass customer service, so their fitment shouldnt be ANY issues. Ive used them with great results on a few parts already (im sure you guys know how often i change the look of my car, lol)
REDROADSTER350Z:
The difference in material is that punksters bumper is fiberglass, whereas Shine autos stuff is all Hybrid plastic reinforced fiberglass. In other words... its lightweight like fiberglass and flexible like urethane. You can actually take one of their bumpers and twist it in half and nothing happens to it. lol.
I also like the fact that its all made in house, here in the US. Support the us economy! haha. Anyhow, this is kickass.

Well they are selling without any pics of the actual item (kinda weird). What is also weird is that their "buy it now" is $525, but in the auction they state that you can get it for $450 if you preorder. Hmm...
according to their ad its fiberglass. I couldnt understand their a, it says its made out of fiberglass, stiff and brittle. But at the same time they show vids of the bending and flexing their products. Which is it? Brittle or flexy?
I spoke to Ken. Great guy. I might pick one up as soon as i get this confusion figured out.

Direct from the auction:
Nissan 350z (Z33) Spec-N2 Front Aero Bumper (Hybrid FRP)
First Front Aero Bumper will be available in TWO weeks. Taking pre-orders at $450. We can only produce one every 2 days, so this would be a great time to reserve your spot. Remember... the original Nismo Version 2 front bumper is standard fiberglass material, which is stiff and brittle. Email us to reserve your spot.

FRP= fiber reinforced plastic aka fiberglass
fiber reinforced plastic is a fancy term for fiberglass. There's no difference. ALL fiberglass is FRP. Remember that guys.
Our flexible products are something we call hybrid frp. It's our special formula to get the parts to flex. But it's still fiberglass. We make a distinction between standard fiberglass, which is brittle and stiff and our hybrid frp, which is flexible.
Anyone who has touched/seen our products know its alot different from the conventional fiberglass theyve seen. People often think our products are urethane, but I tell them it's not.
