I talked to Richie about it. $380 for pre-orders, $425 normal price. Those are most likely picked up prices only. He said it'll be a little over a month before it's released.

I guess it's only a matter of time now before people start rocking replica Kuruma's with their X02 exhausts and tacky *** smoked lights. /bitter

Not to dissuade you from buying from Coz, but Arch's KZ isn't just some fiberglass eBay replica. It'll look almost exactly the same (different mesh, undertray support), and be made in poly, as well as being $200+ cheaper.

But it's your money, do whatever floats your boat . You won't be unhappy with either one.

Trouble with copy's/knock-offs, the originals fit perfect and the copy's aren't quite perfect either in how they fit or work. Example, copies of the Impul sides aren't even close to the original and the same thing with HKS exhaust the quality and how they fit disappeared. At least one of our member I met recently had 3 sets of Impul sides, none of the fit. Sad these manufactures don't have the talent to come up with something original that looks good and works!

^ I agree. We'll have to wait until someone actually installs the bumper to see how the fitment is. It won't be an issue for me because I'm sortof a perfectionist when it comes to my car, so I'll be getting it professionally installed. My INGS sides and front lip from Arch fit perfectly.

^ Would you mind explaining how the Arch kz is any less in quality than the original, when it's not even out yet?

Why fix something thats perfect? I guess ARCH's version will look similar to the Kuruma. But the Kuruma Z will always be the original.

This does not always hold true.
