Front bar

I know that the HKS Kansai front bar is rare but does anyone know where I can get one?

And can anyone identify this front bar:

It almost looks the facelift front bar but with a bigger grill and pre facelift park lights, im guessing its custom?

Yeah when you blend a lip you can pretty much get one from any car it doesnt have to FTO specific

Oh gawd, where did you find that pic?

Thats the 'Brutus wall of fame' in the background

Brutus was a member of the ftooc until the whole 'Jay dodgy bodykit' saga.

It a handmade series 1 bumper with the centre section cut out. The bits on the side were grafted on from some sort of Supra front bar from memory..

I have no idea where i found it, was a while ago now.
Would it be expensive to do something like that?

a fair amount of cash involved

Respray bar and lip
The lip itself
Moulding and cutting

Time = cash... Not cheap but very sexy

He made that bar in about a day, it wasn't expensive or time consuming. Helps if you know what you're doing though.

hey bennoz could you ask him about that front bar please!

I found another interesting front bar, looks like a modified HKS Kansai bar to me:

i found this one on here, in an old thread somewhere but i think it was done in england

Nah you cant get that one but DMD in QLD can make you one from your existing bar, im going to be attempting this later in the year since i cracked my stock bar

carmate make allot of dodgy sh*t... Some are good, but some are really shocking. Paying 400bux for a front bar that has a 50% chance of being poor quality is a gamble i can do without. Although CM is the only place i know of that makes the hks bar in australia/nsw.

The 2nd custom front bar pic looks more of a bozz front bar the way the "mouth" vent is shaped.. The hks mouth isnt as long as that and it looks like a blended Nakaya lip.

The only reason why i dont think it would have been a bozz is because it doesnt have that little flick at the top of the bumper.

The one one in the photo is smooth like the HKS Kansai bar.

but i suppose they might have smoothed it out

Bozz:

HKS Kansia:

The bozz is a complete new bar.

The HKS one and the on the fto with a bonnet scoop is a stock front bar with a lip blendid into it
