Default HKS Kansai Service bumper

Just wondering if anyone else has one of these? I get it mistaken for a Blitz or Ings bumper all the time. Never seen anyone else stateside that has one but me.

I wasn't aware they made one.

I gotta say I am a little disappointed, as I usually like their stuff on other cars.

maybe post some more angles and pics?

+1... I have never heard of this bumper...

Kinda looks like the Amuse without the little triangle vents on either side.

Agree with Motor, though, alittle dissapointed in its "squarish" physique.

I was interested in that bumper but was disappointed that it doesn't come as a complete kit. Looks pretty good. Would look better with a real FMIC

....no whine like the Vortech or rattle like the Stillen and drives almost stock like until you step on it. It's pricey but you can't go wrong.

nope....I know the tech at HKS in Los Angeles so everything is A-OK and was done in their garage.

Per HKS, this is the only one they know of that was shipped to their warehouse. I also have an HKS Kansai Service dry carbon engine cover that I'll post pics of. HKS used them on their demo cars for the supercharger and a turbo which I can't remember which one.

never even heard of it, but I like it a lot. It reminds of the INGs more than anything, but more toned down. Congrats on a rare piece

Looks really good! I was also disappointed with their Z33 line up. I wish they made a rear diffuser for our cars...

What about this HKS Kansai Service dry carbon engine cover? I have never seen one of these stateside either but was wondering if you might have come across them.

yep I've seen it before - very expensive piece. That was an option in other parts of the world, but HKS USA never officially offered it here
