Thumbs up FS: New JDM Toms VA300 Front Bumper

For sale is a new Toms Racing VA300 Bumper. I had plans for this bumper but I decided to go a different route, so this has not been mounted yet! It is made of polyurethane just like the stock bumper so it is very light. It was pepainted black from the factory. It does not have any holes drilled where the license plate would go. The bumper is made to flow with stock side skirts or subtle skirts ie. ltuned/wald/etc. The price is $599 and would need to be shipped via freight as it is too large for UPS/Fed-Ex or you can pick up (I am in upper fairfield county CT). Please pm me with your address and I can get a freight quote for you through some competitive companies.
Here are some sample pictures:
This is picture Carson took when they were selling them:

Wow, I never actually observe the Tom's bumper closely, it looks good. Orginally I was thinking of the whole l-sport kit, but this looks awesome. Now, I have a question..

1) I assume, the factory fog lights won't work with this bumper, so which and where do I get the fogs to fit in the foglight hole for this bumper?

thanks

There are many routes you can go for foglights, the Toms VA300 cars come with Hella Oval fog lights. I have also seen many people put HID round fogs which looked good. I was planning on putting the fog lights from an m5 into the bumper and doing some custom work. Before that I was also contemplating the fogs from the Mercedes c32.

Go Ahead... All I can can say poly is the way to go. Fiber glass was hard to keep up with.
Especially if your GS is a everyday car.

I'd say go for the bumper Bone...Im not a fan of how the greddy is over the bumper....I like the mesh look and the round fog lights...

Looking at it reminds me of a M3 bumper...

For now, I'll just wait and see if the price comes down... not much money to be burning nowadays.
