Where are you guys getting these fronts now a days? I looked on the VIS website but it seems they don't have the bottom in CF.

Thanks, earlier I did check the vendor exterior part of the forum and came up empty.

Bumping the thread, very interested in the front bumper from this kit. How is the fitment from vendors on this forum? The ones Strafe sold had spot on fitment, do vendors on here match it?

Can't find any current VIS vendors to get a quote for the bumper, but I'm stuck between getting this bumper with cf lip and filling in the side vents or get a nismo v3 and wrapping it with custom carbon lip.

sorry to bump an old thread

do you guys think its possible to do some modification on this bumper? I like this bumper but I don't want to keep the bottom lip/splitter so long.

Do you guys think its possible to have the bodyshop cut/trim the splitter down so that it's alot shorter and still keep the rigidity of this bumper? This splitter would not last 2 days in NYC as it is now =/

Yes, I've chopped several PFRP parts before. Rigidity won't be affected if they layer the fiberglass correctly.

okay the shop says they dont know if they can do it, they need to see the front bumper first. I guess I will probably end up keeping the splitter as is

the SL2 bumper....i know it comes with a hole in the diffuser for the oil change. Is there also an opening for where the oil filter is?

is there anyone here with this bumper on stock suspension?

If so can you guys tell me how many inches off the ground the splitter is? on the ends as well as the middle?

I have a driveway thats slightly steep and my Amuse bumper (without a splitter) JUST clears it with no scrape.
