Default APPROVAL Bumper 98+ GS

Genuine APPROVAL front bumper for 98+ GS. Made in Japan, JDM.

This is most likely the ONLY ONE in the United States. I'm 99% sure about that. I checked with Japan, APPROVAL only made about 10 of these bumpers ever, already extremely rare in Japan. Now that APPROVAL closed down, there will never be anymore of this coming.

Here are some pics that I have:

Actual Bumper - Sitting at a shop in CA

Actual Bumper - Foglight and acrylic foglight cover

Actual Bumper - Foglight and acrylic foglight cover of the other side


here are some pics of the bumper on the Japanese show car:

The foglights

The car at Tokyo Auto Salon 3


The foglights did not come with the bumper, I just got some that matched the size of the bumper opening. The acrylic foglight covers were custom made by a professional shop. Foglights never wired, light covers only fitted to ensure fitment, and bumper never installed.

The bumper is not painted white and it does not have clear coat sprayed on. It is the original gel coat when the bumper was manufacturered. The quality is as good as veilside products, if not better I believe.


-----------
The MSRP on this bumper is 100,000 Yen, which is close to 900~1000 USD. That price does not include the foglights and does not include the acrylic plexiglass foglight covers.

I'm letting it go for $450 obo, which includes the bumper, the foglights, and the foglight covers. Local pickup is preferred, because shipping bumper is pain in the neck and costly. But if you insist, shipping is possible at the expense of the buyer.

thanks for looking! PM me or reply here or E-mail me at GlobeCLK@aol.com if you have any questions.

I'm located around Cerritos area. You can pick it up or if you live more than 30 minutes away we could meet up somewhere.
