First in an attempt to head off any questions before I get a bunch of
emails ... a Q & A session :)
Q: What's this page for?
A: To try and sell the Esprit bumper I have in my garage. I'm going to
post this to several forums and instead of posting the same information
over and over again I'll just refer to this page.
Q: Why are you selling it?
A: Because the company that I ordered it from sent me the wrong one. I
have a 1997 240SX, they sent me a bumper for a 1995-1996 240SX.
Q: Didn't you check to see if it fit?
A: No, and that was my mistake. I figured it was a high quality bumper
not some cheap knock off so fitment wouldn't be an issue. I had also
been waiting over 8 months to get it; to say I was excited to get it
installed would be an understatement. It wasn't until I went to install
it that it became apparant that I had the wrong bumper. My loss, your
gain.
Q: So what exactly am I getting?
A: A professionally painted (black if you can't tell) Esprit fiberglass front bumper for a
1995-1996 240SX with a kevlar lip, 2 JDM Nissan turn signals, 2
sidemarkers, all the wiring needed to connect to the USDM harness, the
brackets needed to install the bumper and instructions in japanese. The
instructions in japanese aren't the best so I had someone translate the
important parts, so you will be getting installation instructions in
english too.
Q: Why is it so expensive?
A: The bumper is expensive in Japan. The retail price
in Japan is 78000 yen which is in the low $700 USD range depending on
the exchange. Not to mention, this is (as far as I know) the only
bumper that has been shipped to the USA.
Q: Why is it so cheap?
A: There are some things that may or may not be percieved as problems.
Pictures of things I would want to know about if I were buying the
bumper are below. I need to get rid of it so I can order a new bumper.
Q: Where are you located?
A: I'm in Southeastern Virginia.
Q: Enough with the questions! How much is it?
A: If you live within reasonable driving distance I'll deliver it to
you for $800. I'd really prefer to avoid the hassle of shipping it, but
if you really want it we can work something out.

Possible Problems:
Drill slipped when installing left turn signal resulting it 2 holes
instead of 1.
Center opening has been shortened some to clear my FMIC. The edge isn't
perfectly flat but would easily be fixed with a belt sander if it
bothers you.
Some scratches on the corners where the bumper meets the fender, would
not be seen when installed, but I thought I'd show anyway. This is the
left side, a similar scratch is on the right.
