Yeah,plan on doing an assload of work on a kuruma z bumper,I was expecting alot better of quality from what I had heard on here,The bumper was 650 and the body work and paint was 1200.00,and my friend who owns the shop did it,he spend 28 hours to get it right,mind you he had to rebuild both corners from shipping damage and we also fusored in a bunch of aluminum square tubing and braces to get the intercooler opening flat at the bottom,and to build braces for the entire bottom edge(i will form up a custom belly pan with an oil cooler later out of aluminum)It looks awesome but... well yeah I would probably do it again.

Yikes. Still, I'm hoping mine gets done right as I think its a really sweet looking front.

Chargespeed is less common, so go with that.
