it does hang lower than the OEM side skirts. It is actually about as low as the stock OEM splashguards.

Nice
I'd say at the lowest part of the both bumpers, which is right where the wheel well is, the Kuruma bumper is about 1/2 inch or so (maybe slightly less) lower than stock bumper.

with the suspension height being the same, I could actually just place a pack of Marlboro Light under the lowest part of my stock bumper. With the Kuruma bumper, the pack won't fit by just that margin.

and yes, it is make of urethane.

i picked up the bumper myself and I took it to my friend's bodyshop in El Monte.

Ask for Kennedy. His shop is really booked up right now tho. So it might take a while for him to finish painting new jobs coming in.

i believe it's about 2 inches or so in the front...i actually haven't really measured how low the car is, but as I said earlier in the posts, with my stock bumper, it barely cleared a pack of Marlboro box.(at the lowest point of the bumper, with 19inch wheels)

please direct all the pricing questions about the bumper to Yuichi.

I have a special deal with my friend with the bodyshop and i can't disclose the details.

but if you'd like, i can find out how much he'd charge for paint/install. maybe a group deal??? not sure...

MORE PICTURES!!!! It's not the best lighting source for this type of pictures but i took some before I came to work...hard to find time these days...well, hope you guys enjoy them.

Here are first set of pictures with a STOCK grill. The stock grill fits perfect with the Kuruma Z bumper. No gaps! The fitment is just plain awesome!

that's a sweet fkin bumper. Are you lowered at all Irvine? I am and I scrapped the sh*t out of my fiberglass bumperbut Urethane should hold up much better. It actually looks better with the stock grill too.

And here are some up-close view of the grill I made for the bumper.
This may or may not be the same type of grill supplied by Kuruma Z..I had to make mine on my own since the grill was not ready by the time I picked up the bumper.
