RE Amemiya "revised" front bumper

I'm reluctant to write "new" cause it looks like the old front bumper minus the fog light holes......

Did you actually READ my post? The pic above is the "REVISED" version of the front bumper. Here's the bumper "thats been out for a while"....notice the difference?....

This is a pic of the "old" version and not the "revised" version. To the untrained eye, there are subtle differences....

The revised looks much better. Didn't really care for those big *** foglights imbedded in the bumper.

Wat are we discussing here? Is it about the fog lights or the opening of the mouth (middle)? The First pix Wolverine posted the mouth kinda open inwards and the older version opens outwards.
M i right?

Looks much better without them fog light holes. The mouth does look a little different...IMO, better

M-ster and Gambit are right. But, this "revised" version has NOT been out over a year, according to my source from Japan. This is what he wrote in Japanese on 8/10/05.....

"RE雨宮 NewFRバンパー"

"RE雨宮さんから新しいフロントバンパーが発表になりました。
基本的には今までと同じような雰囲気のタイプです。
前のフォグ付き・・・やっぱり道交法上NGになっちゃった
んですねぇ~税別78,000円だそうです。"

Translated using babelfish.....

"RE Amamiya NewFR bumper"

"From RE Amamiya the new front bumper became announcement. Basically until now it is type of similar atmosphere. Don't you think? the fog before it is attached and... after all the っ ちゃ っ it is it is with respect to NG road intersection method the ぇ? 78,000 Yen classified by tax it probably will put out, is."

I'm with Wolverine, the first pix is a new nose(or revised as wolve would like to put it). Every pix of the RE-nose I've seen so far are the original version. From RE's own white and yellow to the Greddy Gray (which now he changed to veilside) and one guy in Australia. All the front nose middle mouth opens outwards.

Where as the fog lights, its always available as an option to have with or without.

I'm glad you posted this. While I have been to the site I didn't bablefish it and over looked the revision.

I like what they have done but I also kind of liked the foglights

That link is for the kit with the fog lights....I clicked it but the pics don't come up, but about halfway down the page someone said something like, "i don't know why you would want a kit with such huge fog lights"

I like that hood too....never seen it before
