Ralliart VR-4 Bumper?

[WaRrIoRs16]

My friend is into Mazda Proteges and 323s but all the good stuff came only in Japan, so he has a friend that gets him everything that is rare and only in Japan. So I asked about Galant bumpers and he said to send him a picture of what the bumper looks like. So I sent him a JDM front and rear bumper picture. He told me that he could get them and asked if I would be interested in a Ralliart VR-4 bumper. This guy is as far as I know really just a Mazda guy, so I don't know if he knows what he's looking at exactly.

Is there a Ralliart VR-4 E39 bumper for our cars? When I googled it, I mostly found ordinary looking JDM bumpers or newer generation Galants.

I don't know a lot about these cars but I've never heard of a ralliart galant until the later body styles. It's possible someone just slapped a Ralliart logo on it.

your friend is prob talking about an 8th gen or something. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

maybe the very knowledgeable Phillip can chime in on this though?

Pass, there's only really a couple types of the JDM bumpers and that's vented (ie Evolution) or non-vented (early non-Evolution).

I know there was a German specific bumper made by an aftermarket company, perhaps that's what he's meaning? You wont find them in Japan though.

Probably that fiberglass monstrosity with the EVO IV/V foglights that you see knocking about on eBay.

Please DON'T!

Lol remember that dude on the E39A Facebook page that was talking about that EVO bumper kit for his galant and everyone was lighting his ass up, /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif

[cheekychimp]

I have seen this said bumper for sale when searching through the web, but it looks awful in comparison to stock usdm and jdm.
