SVX Front Bumper Replacement Question - attn: Stevebsy

I am quite sure that I am yet another insignificant threader beating a dead horse repeatedly, however, I have searched, to no avail, for a front bumper seen some where within this website. The bumper was featured on a blue SVX and, unfortunately, I cannot find the picture to save my poor soul. It accented the "side-skirts" rather eloquently and was a very nice replacement for the original. There are front bumpers in the Motorsport Warehouse website that, in my opinion, are atrocious and apalling, particularly the bumper splitters -- anything related to this website is not what I am referring to.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Found the picture that I am referring to after a little backtracking... I had not realized that it was a link in someone's signature until I haplessly stumbled upon it yet again. Had I known where the picture was located I would have messaged the owner, however, since this thread is already created, I do welcome the input. Thank you

The question: Where can I find a bumper like this?

The blue SVX now belongs to Earl (ensteele) Check his locker for some more pictures.

Here's a link to my side skirt thread, which has a few front shots of the bumper.

I had the same bumper on my pearlie (It was actually the first bumper Stevebsy made!)

Here's an old pic of it at the 10th anniversary meet:

VERY nice car, Zeppelin.

Speaking of which, here are some more... Not sure if this has been announced within this website, as I have yet to read all of the posts. There are many , however, I will just for the sake of doing so. There is company that makes front disk brake upgrades for the SVX, which seems to be a German company, in which I found the following photographs... if you have not seen these, enjoy. =)

By the way, these two pictures are what piqued my interest in the SVX.

Right. You just have to remove the old one, test-install the new one to make sure it bolts up nicely, and then paint and finish install.

It is pretty easy.

Damn, very unlike most fiberglass body kits! Might just have to hit you up after the 6mt install this summer.
