Local guy is selling this for a 2nd Gen GS300/400.
He claims its a "origin" style replica valance.
Anyone ever hear of this brand before? Id like to get more details on it, figure out how much a brand new one is to see if the used price is far off.
He's asking for $175 which seems like a lot considering a) Id have to sand it down, paint it for my GS b) that its a used piece and scratched up at that!

Maybe its the pics, but it looks like one of those half bumper add-ons. Meaning, its not quite a lip kit, and its not quite a complete bumper (with headlight cutouts) so it starts under them and looks pretty weird.
but as said above, $175 for a bumper is cheap as heck for any bumper.

Well, maybe its the bad picture, but it looks to have the cutouts for the foglights and has a very similar look to the bottom part of our bumper. If its an addon (fake or not) isnt it just a matter of butting up the bumper to his car for fitment right? whether its for his application or not, if it fits properly isnt that all that matters?

Ive seen the addon on a white 2gs before, Its not Origin, Cant remember the name of the company off the top of me head. I think it might be a Fabulous knock off, But If I recall correctly the owner was not happy with the install as you would have to use rivets along the side of the bumper for it to stay on.
$175 not a bad price!
