They look the same. Maybe post questions on both auctions?

heh. bought the bumper in the first photo, owner suspected TOMs but was not sure. have asked on the second auction, with no reply....

by **101dreamin** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 10:09 pm

Quick google, found nothing. Have seen lots of them though. Weird.

Hmm, it's not shown in the AE101 TOM'S brochure that I have here.

by **Lurkin** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 10:27 pm

No - I don't think its TOM's either. The other TOMs bumper I have has a TOMs little sticker on it... and it definitely doesn't come up searching it as a TOMs bumper here or in Japan.. grr.

My GTZ had one of those was a bit $&#$% so got a Bomex one to replace it, always regretted that I didn't get a TOMs...

AS stated, not TOM'S.
In my view the Bomex was a better looking bumper than TOM'S.
I still have the mould for Bomex style bumper somewhere.

I had one of TRD Mans Bomex style front bumpers on my GTZ when I had it. Definately looked a way better part that those things.

IMO best looking AE101 Levin front bumper is this

Brand called Rocket Dancer

http://page18.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/w32851274

Not cheap though, 68000yen a pop, that's over a grand

and shipping will cost several arms and legs too :cry:

by **Lurkin** » Mon Aug 08, 2011 7:36 pm

Na, I like the TOMs one better than all of the above, hence why I bought one!
:lol:

Are you selling the mould? whats it worth?

by **AE82 FXGT** » Mon Aug 08, 2011 8:08 pm

Don't get me wrong the Bomex bumper looks mean, but I like how the TOMs one looks very factory looking, which is what my taste has grown to. In saying that I don't think I will own an ae101 levin/trueno again (Unless I come into some sort of financial hardship).

I did like the Bomex one when I got it and it was a damn sight cheaper than a TOMs one.

by **h8wrxs** » Mon Aug 08, 2011 8:37 pm

i personally like the one on my trueno the best (hence the reason i bought i)

not sure if its a copy of any particular brand but i bought it from aerotech.co.nz
