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?

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.

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

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
