That shit looks like a blitz. It looks like the bumper is a lot lower than stock. How durable are bomex bumpers/kits?

I really like those side skirts too. We were gonna start making the blitz type 2's ourselves, but if there is enough demand for those bomex sides, we might start making those. They aren't out yet though. And I wouldn't wanna pay the 600+ bucks that Bomex wants for just a front bumper. If anyone sees a place selling these cheap and are actually in stock, let me know...

Kit looks really good, except for the amber blinkers.

I pretty sure the Bomex is durable, and almost positive it's all urethane.

Anyone know what kind of wing that is???

It's all fiberglass, not urethane. Most kits are fiberglass. Bomex only uses fiberglass as far as I know...

Really, I could of sworn it was urethane.


If you watch TF&TF when the supra is chasing the bikes, the front bumper seems to bend pretty far and doesn't break. Must very thick fiberglass.

That kit is friggin awesome. I like the mirrors too, sleek, kinda matches the Eclipse well. I'd be willing to convert my 97 to 95-96 headlights for that kit :P. Hey eclipse804, make those skirts man, damn make the whole kit!!!

Nope, checked their site and they make em outta hand-laid fiberglass.


Little dissapointed huh???

dayam thats news to me. i'd be afraid it'd crack the first day I had it. screw paying that much for a fiberglass front. I'd pay that if it were urathane tho.

I hear you man, the only thing that has me is that they're rated #1 in Japanese aero-kits.

and yeah, bomex is all 'glass

I still like the stillen front end the best. It looks nice and is made out of urathane. And it doesnt make your car look like a space ship. I am a fan of the plain clean look.

thats a hot body kit! i want!!!

I really like the kit, especially the sides. But i want the those bronze rims the most.

Looks like Japan is into Fast & Furious style graphics.

from what i understand, bomex kits, although fiberglass, are very durable and strong. its QUALITY, THICK fiberglass. i love the kit, but there's no shot in the world i'd get it. WAY TOO LOW!!! just my opinion though, because people like cyan got skills enough to drive with their cars that low and handle it well. btw, those rims are the AVS model 5 rims, the same ones from letty's 240 in tfatf. MAD DOUGH!!! but adr makes a copy. check http://www.whalentire.com to check the adr's out.

The supra in TFATF musta had a special one made for that stunt car. Unless they had to bust 5 bumpers and seperate the frames. haha. Watch when the supra races the charger and they jump the train tracks. That bumper took the landing like a champ.

While "Dress Up" body kits concentrate on looks,

BOMEX Original Tuning Aero Parts are designed and manufactured for performance as well.

Cooling, reduced air turbulence, down force, etc. are important consideration on drawing board to manufacturing. Installation instruction and installation parts are supplied with each piece.

Sumio Niwa, owner of Alligator Co. believes that fiberglass is the best material at this time for tuning orientated body kit. Factory type ABS resin is cost prohibitive for aftermarket application.

Urethane is well suited for dress up purposes but too heavy and not hard enough to hold it's shape under high speed.

Niwa has chosen high strength, light weight fiberglass for BOMEX Original Tuning Aero Parts.
