Default Looking for a Urethane Front Bumper (maybe entire kit) for my '03 TT

Heyaz, My current FB is going, which was intended to be a temporary one anyways and now it's time to get it replaced due to damage(s).

What I am looking for is something that has a large opening in the front to allow best airflow to the inter cooler without lots of other gimmicks & openings, I'm a big fan of subtle.

The FB MUST have OEM like fit as I need all of the OEM under carriage & wheel well covers and what not to work with it.

I would consider an entire kit as well, but right now I am focused on the front bumper.

Thanks for your suggestions.

I've noticed most aftermarket companies don't make Z bumpers in Urethane, so you'll be hardpressed to have a selection.

Yes, I am aware of the rarity of them however that is why I am posting in the hopes of someone pointing some of them out to me.

Of course I am trying to bounce around the net myself to find them.

Anyone notice that the 'quality' web sites aren't doing as well as they were with the ability to search their products?

I would have thought by 'now', specifically referring to the Z market, the sites would have been working as well as they could and have a great slection of items.

Try Shine Auto front bumpers. Their bumpers have awesome fitment and are made of their own hybrid fiberglass, which flexs better than urethane.
Shine stuff are very well known on this forum(as well as others) and rated very high.

Actually I saw your post over in the body/paint thread I got going, noticed your setup (nice!) and recalled way-back-when I also wanted an Amuse kit but ran into the same problems you did.

In between your post there (thanks) and your post here I have contacted AutoShine to see what they have going.

If they are backlogged like it sounds they are from the few posts I have seen around here, they may not be able to help me, but I greatly appreciate the suggestion, and please accept my apologies if I end up with an Amuse and/or replica.

I have tried not to replicate what others have done and that is why I have the kit I have now and put as much work into it as we did in order to compensate for the lack of quality/fitment.

This hybrid FRP sounds like the ticket vs trying to find urethane parts, and sheesh I wouldn't mind saving money either.

Thanks again!

Yea I'm pretty sure Shine's Nismo V2 replica is back ordered, but their Amuse replica might be in stock. Just give them a call on monday.

No need to apologize man. I might end up with a different look anyway :
