^ pretty sure you can't buy it separate. Call RHDJapan or BP Auto. It'll be $5k plus if you can even get your hands on one...and just by the way you're asking questions about it, I'm assuming you can't afford it. There are plenty of knock-off POS bumpers that will fit your style.

As already commented,the Amuse bumper you are seeking is only available in
a full body kit.If you want a authentic Amuse,the price tag is up there.And,if
you can locate one.The 380RS differers from the Superleggera.There are several sources
for Superleggera reps.You can buy the bumper seperately.One that is excellent is the
Shine Spec-A.$400 FRP.

well, let's think of it this way..
the authentic V3 was designed by Nissan Engineers, put through CFD modeling and probably wind tunnel testing for their full Nismo Edition, using probably a several hundred thousand dollar injection molding plug to produce OEM quality bumpers for ALL their nismo Zs...
and then we have the SL2.
a modified copy of a copied widebody Z bodykit made probably by someone that looked at some pictures and said (in chinese), "yea, that part curves up around here" [cut cut cut scrape scrape scrape on the modeling clay] "yea. looks good. lets make it" and gets mass produced on a handmade mold that probably doesn't get rebuilt after a couple hundred bumpers are made like you're supposed to.
let's leave it at that.

Contact Mark at Bulletproof if you want an authentic 380RS front bumper. It's not as expensive as I thought it'd be and it's certainly unique. I only know of one other 380RS bumper here in the US and that guy hardly posts on here. Good luck.

i used to think this was the holy grail of bodykits till it got so replicated to the point where i'm not even interested in it anymore. but good luck in your search if you manage to get your hands on one. the guys at Bulletproof Auto is your best bet.

does anyone here know if the superleggera front can work without the front fenders (which in turn need the sides)
really don't like how the superleggera fenders were designed around the headlights. found option on getting the front but not wanting the fenders.
