Default Kei Office Front Bumper

Does anybody know if the Kei Office front bumper ever made production? If so, is it still available? I have only seen 2 pictures of it, and don't recall anybody that has it. Is it rare or just not available at all? I'm interested in possibly making a change......

Didn't see that one. Do you know if these are still in production (or have they EVER been)?

Found one more. Last I've heard of this bumper is that it's not being made anymore.

No! And I mean no reproductions! Let's keep it rare. I hate the fact that everyone is now getting the damn ings lip.

Thanks for the picture! Got any more? And no more being made? Who was the distributor? Was it Kei Office?

I just need to make sure that they were available for sale it ANY time. I might have import one through my source. Nothing is impossible.

that pic i found from one of the threads here started by WorldOne promoting Prodrive products....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keiichi_Tsuchiya

According to Wikipedia, Kei Office was sold back in 2005, which could help explain the the extreme rarity of this kit. I have next to no info from all the web digging i've been doing, and wasn't sure if this was a one off for display, or if it was produced in limited numbers.

Yeah I searched everywhere and already read the Wikipedia. That's why I was wondering if there is a different distributor now since it was sold off. I might have to buy a used one from Japan.

Myself and JUN were trying to get enough intrest her in the U.S to purchase the kit and reproduce it because Kei Office stopped all production of the kit and the only one found for sale was at japanparts.com around 500. just for shipping if I remember correctly.

Well we did not generate enough intrest to bring in and produce the kit so it was forgotten.

Last I checked japanparts.com sold the last one they had for which they do not even mention nor carry Kei Office aero products anymore.

If you really want the kit I assume the only way is to find one used in Japan and buy it, which is like finding a needle in a hay stack.

As for pics- I had one on a black Z but I think I got rid of it

Yes it was in production and we had a chance to get a new set in our hands. But it is no longer in production. There's only one place/person in Japan that has the remaining kei office products. The bumper is very nice
