Ken Gushi had greddy make a center exit exhaust for his 14R bumper. Could be an option if they're willing to make another

Or can't you go custom for the axle back? Love the plans. Nothing beats Jdm TRD and that rear bumper is awesome

Paul I wanted to try the gunmetal this time, I like how they look on the TRD Griffon car. Black is amazing but I find it difficult to see the difference between the sF2 TRD wheels and these. Figure I change it up. The gunmetal pictured wheel is same size as yours sir can't wait to wrap them in Yokohama neovo

It takes a lot of searching but they pop up from time to time.

looks like its normal for them to have the left and right covers missing, rear light missing and the diffuser missing.

I've been hunting for one too but I'm waiting for a more complete one to pop up.

They're from junked cars usually, e.g., crashed or totaled, which then are parted out and sold on auction. A lot of STI parts that are exclusive to Japan pop up all the time too as accidents happen to those cars.

Yup I know but not all accidents involve the rear end being damaged.

You can find better pics of this bumper on the real yahoo auctions japan page. It shows a large crack on the plateau portion of the bumper (Seems like rear end damage or he backed into something low on the passenger side). Because I have a brz colored the brightest of all yellows I would have to go to a body shop for a paint job for any 14r60 bumper I found. So patching up a crack is not too big of a deal for me. But the little tiny pieces like the reverse/fog light and two missing panels would be a bigger challenge for me to find. I don't want a half complete rear end on my car, so patience will have to unfortunately be the virtue in my case :-(

But I figured I would post the auction link up in case anyone else wanted to get this bumper.

I also emailed japanparts.com yesterday and they said they couldn't do anything about getting a new bumper. The hunt continues...

Build still in progress. I've Been a little slow on updates as life has been extra difficult and challenging for me this past year. Some people won't like this but I sold my LFA (#462) to help me find my footing again plus wanted to increase my bet in robot investments. Regarding my 86. Motor build is done (titanium connecting rods, high compresssion pistons, flex fuel, etc, via Crawford), transmission is complete (trd close ratio gear set). differential is done (trd limited slip, 4.875 final drive). Interior is nearly complete with trd goods (trd one piece seats, trd sport meters, etc) and some interior details from the brz ts. Suspension is done ( trd coilovers and bushings sway bars and other misc parts). Exhaust system nearly done , Titanium headers, titanium overpipe, titanium center and mid pipe are installed. I have a center exit exhaust on the way from Japan so I'll get the 14r rear bumper on soon and this should complete my car for now (trd body kit goes on last, then corner balance and weigh in, West End Alignment).

Here the latest pic of my engine bay. My tuner Shawn Church says the new red manifold should add power so I changed it, I'll get another dyno to see the change soon. Looks alone seem worth it. I'm also feeding pics on my instagram from time to time as well ( supra2nv ).

Hope everyone and their cars are doing well.

So is this a custom piece or did you let a shop modify your quad exhaust?
A sound recording of it would be sweet.

Cool build, keep it up!
