Actually 2F Performance recently came out with their Super Doof kits, which are designed and made in the U.S.

2F worked in collaboration with Get Nuts Lab to design the Super Doof kits. Those kits are based HEAVILY on the D-Max Type III kits. There is really nothing that original about the Super Doof kits, they were modeled off of something that already existed, but made to look slightly different. One of my friend's gave up his 180sx D-Max front bumper so that they could use it for the mold.

God, what a cluttered, inefficient ass engine bay the Z32 had. That goofy ass nose panel is the only thing that narrowly puts the JZA80 Supra ahead of the Z32 in the looks department, IMO. I'd still welcome a bumper that integrated them together. Airbox/intake location can be changed.

Every kit for an S chassis is based off of the original bumpers. Must not be unique.

Good topic but saying this trend is really set because that era the 240 was just something current and popular to work on. Think about the FRS and how hundreds of companies make their own kits to put out there to promote their shop. Once the market is overflooded with variety then the trend dies down. Its the fight to the top to see who has the best looking kit, or top 10 of kits.

That too. Its perfect but its nothing fresh from the past 10 years.

I like how rocket bunny went back and started with something scratch and made the car look completely different. Only thing im starting to hate about their designs is they just copy and paste onto the next car -.- But from rocketbunny V1 to V2 time, they were on top of their game

Z32 bays are sexy as hell once you shave them. But that nose panel is still ruining the flow in that pic.

I knew you were going to come back with some BS like that.

Obviously every bumper is designed off of the original OEM piece, otherwise it wouldn't fit. Thanks for pointing out the obvious. What I'm getting at is the fact that they didn't design a completely new bumper based on the factory bumper. They used D-Max Type III bumpers to make their mold and then tweaked little pieces to make it slightly different. Their "designs" aren't even close to being as original as you are trying to make them out to be.

Dook-E is correct. D-max type 3 + adding 2 inch of fiberglass to the bottom of it = Super Doof

The FRS community killed RocketBunny. I think that RocketBunny is slowly killing itself now, though.

Corbic, I think I understand what you were trying to say in your first post. I'll remind you that we live in the era of GoFundMe pages made to raise money for every shitkicker's 'drift car'. What I'm trying to say is no one wants to put the time or effort in.

I don't think the FRS community ruined it. It was just never that original. Worse yet you have tools like Liberty Walk slapping the "bolted GT2" fenders onto everything.

Hey Rocket Bunny... RWB wants some words...

But that will have to come after Porsche gets done talking to Nakai.
