Default Strosek Rear bumper (350z gt-s)

Does anyone know of a replica of this bumper? The original from Strosek is going to run about $1000 bucks, and before saving up for a year to get it, was wondering if anyone knew of a place to get this. Im sure when the 350z GTS comes out, there will be many copies of it, but it would be cool to have before then!

I appreciate the link, however they are selling it for MORE than that actual company that makes it, sells it for. Im looking for a REPLICA, not the actual Strosek brand.

It is going to be hard finding a replica of something not a lot of people are interested in.

I doubt you'll find a replica of this kit. It's very hard to get in the USA, rare here regardless.

Looks like you're just gonna have to pony up for the real deal.

one option would be, although greatly cheapening the rarity - but I guess that's not what you care about since you are looking for a replica anyway, but would be for someone like Punksterzz or Evo-R to purchase the kit and get a bunch of people together (10-15) and do a replica group buy. I don't know that you will find 10-15 people for it, but it might be worth talking to one of those (or another) vendor about.

there were sooooo many people interested in the Nismo V2 wing, then when it came time it was hard to even get 10. Now I think it is up to like 18, but still.

Good luck finding a replica or REAL strosek bumper.

personally, I doubt they will use that kit on the gt-s, if there is one. it's not mainstream enough, personally I like it but wouldn't buy it, I'm sure a lot of people wouldn't even say they like it.

I personally find it extremely difficult to understand how people would not like this rear bumper! It looks OEM, the fit is OEM quality, and imagine the bottom diffuser painted black! I personally dont care for the side skirts or front end, but that rear is pleasuring on the eyes IMO

That's the greatest part about the Z, the aftermarket is chop filled of goodies. I agree the Strosek kit is very rare, but it's a very euro kit. I really like the front end, its closer to a "DTM" look rather than a "JDM" look.

I guess you are right, my tatses are not at all in the euro look, I mean I do have a very JDM look on its way

I just think the lines on the Strosek kit are too harsh on a car that has almost 100% smooth lines...

What are your JDM plans? BTW my buddy just opened a place up and he can custom make any spacer for our cars. He made me a 10mm for my front, hubcentric and made of forged something. lol

I'm not tellin! lol but it isn't too hard to figure out if you did a search of threads I have started/posted in.

That's awesome that he was able to custom make a spacer. Now I think my wheels are perfect (offset anyway) so no more need for spacers. I sold the other ones pretty easily.

Please hook me up with the number, I need custom spacers bad, does he do the messurements so he can see exactly what is needed?

How would you define a JDM look, compared to a Euro Look? Is a Euro look more along the lines of Porsche and Audi kits etc?
