I was surprised to see how sick is this bumper in person, a guy who built his track Z installed this and it amazing.

Everyone keeps comparing this kit to the buddy club for the 350. In my opinion the buddy club looks like a giant nose that's been tacked on. The fujimura looks far more refined and consistent with the body lines of the vehicle. The only real similarity that I see are three openings in the front which just makes me believe that if there were two openings then people would think it looks like a ferrari f430 front end (I'm aware of how preposterous this sounds).

looks like a modified stillen bumper.

docaam 04-17-2011 06:43 AM

I think stillen might have replicate it

lostsouled 04-17-2011 02:51 PM

looks like what stillen should have done... :stirthepot:

Lemers 04-17-2011 03:45 PM

Stillen would fine if it didn't have the "ear" pieces that need to be blended.

Brazilbro 04-18-2011 10:14 PM

whats the price of this? Who carries it? I might be on deck!:driving:

Lemers 04-18-2011 11:33 PM

Haven't seen anyone import it from japan.

370ZTUNE.com

Lemers 04-19-2011 04:24 PM

Thanks for the link :) $2500 for it? That seems high.

Jjaden 04-19-2011 04:51 PM

Glad to see 370ztune selling it but when you are charging $2500 for a front bumper I think Fujimira shouldn't be shocked if a replica comes out.

I still don't see how the price goes from $1800-$2500 for a tiny bit of carbon in the front opening.

Still love the bumper, just not in the budget right now at that price...

Lemers 04-19-2011 05:01 PM

Exactly! If you price yourself out of the market, you can't blame the guy who can do similar cheaper.

Also if Fujimira was worry about replicas in the US. They would import their products here and not rely on another company to "scalp" their products here.

And besides. Asia is all about copying other peoples' IP. So they shouldn't be surprised when someone does it to them.

BennytheBlade 05-22-2011 11:34 AM

Anyone every get one?

:facepalm:
Price yourself out of the market, really? You might want to do some research on how much other front bumpers cost, this one is on par with others.

Why should Fujimura auto be in the US when they have good reliable importers already? If you have not noticed a lot of Japanese aftermarket auto companies are leaving the US and relying more on their importers to bring in their product, welcome to cost cutting.

Yes because China = all of Asia.

phelan 05-22-2011 12:50 PM

A lot of Japanese aftermarket auto companies are also leaving because when they make their stuff more available in the USA, people just walk up, buy the part, and make a replica almost instantaneously.

docaam 05-22-2011 02:28 PM

Parts in japan are expensive either bodyparts or performance compared to US made parts. I agree price is insane when kits like zele, chargespeed, veilside sell their for half of that price.

Apoc370z 05-22-2011 06:43 PM

I think i am in love..

I still need to talk to Jamaica about the Amuse rear bumper + installation, but if UAM decides to make a replica of this front bumper then it will be perfect..

I've done plenty of research, I cannot name a single other front bumper for the 370z for over $2000, yet this fujimura one sells for around $2400-2500, so yes they have priced themselves out of the market.

more around 1600

Lemers 05-22-2011 08:45 PM

Not with all the pieces.

Yes sir. 1600 with CF inserts.

Lemers 05-22-2011 08:59 PM

The $2500 was 370ztune's price on the original bumper not a replica. If you have a link to a site with the original at $1600 I would really be interested.

The bumper is around 1300, throw in shipping across the ocean you are around 1600 or so. Why 370ztune wants to sell it for more is there business, but the price is much cheaper than that.

370ztune isnt the only company that can get JDM parts. And no its not a replica. Let me check my books or pm about pricing.

Lemers 05-22-2011 09:09 PM

That'd be fine cause I'm still interested in the fenders but need to do both at once.

Joebarchuck 05-27-2011 08:54 PM

I like it, it looks great.

VQinside 06-20-2011 09:01 AM

damn! that is the hottest bumpr I've seen.
I can't stand the OEM 370z front bumper.

I wish this was polyurethane like the Stillen one.
If only Stillen finally fixed all their issues with their bumper!:shakes head:

If you can purchase the bumper for $1300 landed in Japan, then you have an awesome source. (I'm not even being facetious.) On top of the cost of hte item, Fujimura charges domestic shipping, unless you arrange your own air freight directly from their location that is ($1000+ to do so).

Importing is not as simple as taking the exchange rate and converting straight into USD, there are a lot of hidden costs, and we still have to make some money for our time and effort.

Profit? In a capitalist society? How dare you! :p

*continues debating switching front bumper*
