    Anyone recognize this?

    Hey all. So, I scooped this bumper last weekend from someone semi-local. It was advertised as hipposleek but after talking with him for a bit, he actually had no real evidence of what it is. I thought there would have been a badge or stamp or decal..something, somewhere. But there's nothing. Its completely fiberglass, very rigid, and its definitely jdm by the size and shape of where it would mount to the crash beam. At first I thought it was just a mmold of a gt-b bumper, but its missing the small air dams in the lip and its flat on the outside of the fog light holes, instead of having that little bulge.
    if anyone can shed some light on what this phantom bumper might be, I'm quite curious to know.
    Thanks!

    I've gone over it with a fine toothed comb and I can't find a single stamp anywhere. This is unpainted as well, just polished on the outside I guess. Also, granted I've never seen a gt-b bumper first hand, but its got the mounts for the inner driving lights glassed right in. So odd. None the less, its going on the car one way or another haha

    Not a Hippo Sleek.... You should find a Hyper Rev mag from that generation, might be listed in there, if it's a Japanese market bumper.

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/SUBARU-LEGACY-1 ... 4adf0df295

    Here is another one. Might be able to contact them and see if they know what brand it is.

    That $840 includes shipping from Japan, which is going to be more than half of that alone.

    ^^^thanks for looking into that for me. I never did get a response from that seller on eBay about a brand. I guess we may never know!
