There is no identifying mark on the inside of the bumper to let you know that it is authentic. I can't tell if the bumper is fiberglass or polyurethane, since I can't see the inside of the bumper to see the fiberglass strands or not.
I do know for a fact that the authentic Kuruma Z only came in polyurethane and then someone replicated the urethane bumper with the fiberglass version.
From what I can tell, it looks to be an authentic bumper, but I'm still not too sure. It has the "shelf" on the front bumper like the OG Kuruma is supposed to have, versus the "rounded" front that the Arch Industries replica has.
I will state that every authentic Kuruma Z that I have seen unpainted, has arrived white and not black. It also has the sidemarkers already cut out and not covered up like the one in the pictures.

Henry, I was also leaning towards that too. Here is an image of my authentic being prepped. All that was done to it was sanding.

Guy named Bobby was a prospect for NGC and hit a deer which totalled his G leaving him with an unpainted Kurama Z and Impul rockers, he put up a FS add and I scooped them up
I think he bought them from Strafe in late 2010 well before the mediforical crap hit the fan with the body vendors.... and I gotta say im happy I got them when I did seems like its hard to get new authentic parts these days unless you fork the $
