Default Impul front bumper replica

Hey guys. We were wondering if anyone would be interested in a high quality replica of the Impul front bumper in our flexible hybrid FRP material? Let us know what you guys think.

I'd be interested but it depends on pricing. Would you consider doing a full kit since other impul replicas have horrible fitment.

Oh really? I did not realize that. Are impul sides and rears in high demand?

Sides and rear are more of a demand than the front. Impul replicas for the g35 coupes have relatively been awful with fitment.

The Impul front bumper would look so much better without the built in license plate holder.

We're doing the front bumper for now. Impul parts are hard to get.

Expect $450-$500 for the front bumper

instead of copying the design why not try and come up with a new design on your own and try to market it? I dunno about you guys but the selection on body kits for our G's completely sucks as compared to lets say the 350z. It seems this way because there are only like 5 or 6 brands of kits out there and then everybody replicates each one like a billion times. So instead of replicating the already boring kits to death, why not try and see if you can come up with something unique? Something different like the Karuma Z (even tho it was slightly a replica of greddy) it was still something fresh and not beat on to death.. thats just what i think. Every vendor always pops up a new thread asking "so what kit would you like us to copy?" Well for me, the answer would be none because other bodyshops have already done it. I guess since the impul replicas tend to have sucky a$$ fitment then I guess that could be a reason for you redoing it.. but other than that.. please try something new!

We're not here to create products for the sake of creating products. We're here to meet needs. If people want impul replicas, then that's what we're here to provide. If you want something new, express interest to a bodykit company like Kaminari, Kenstyle etc........ not a replica company .

like you said......there's demand for better quality impul replicas. That's what we're trying to provide. But you are definitely right.........the selection of bodykits for the G35 does suck.

the bumper looks really goofy without the front plate. trust me i have an authentic front sides and rear would be nice! i think there is a ton of demand for the impul rear in particular.

Ok......this is what we're going to do. We're gonna bust out with a quality replica of the front bumper so we can get our name out there to the G35 community. If all goes well, we'll do the sides and rear. These impul parts are damn expensive.

cool..but i think you'll get more demand for the sides and rear.. I think its best if you go the g35 forum and conduct a poll whether which parts to produce.
