Never seen it, but maybe the picture is making it look weird, but it looks way too short

it looks like someone took a stock bumper and fiberglassed the foglight holes closed. Then made horizonal bars going across the grill and bumper.

I see tabs in the lower bumper cutout that looks like there used to be a OEM grill there. I dont think there would be a OEM grill and horizontal bars.

I have seen that bumper and it will fit the 8G but like every other JDM bumper, you will have to trim the crash bar. You can see the JDM Galant in the background, or parts of it. Let me find a pic for you, I had one with that bumper on. They look very similar.

sorry I guess I was a little confused by the way you typed it. I thought you were saying that those pics that you posted were the ones that you were looking for with the "JDM VIP" bumper on since you had an edit on the post.

No big deal, I just edit it because when I first saw the bumper he posted, the red one jumped in my head. Once I found the photos, I realized that they looked similar but the red one was the Brazilian Galant with the BMW kit but they still look similar.

That bumper is ugly IMO, I would love to but the BMW bumper on my G. It looks gorgeous in that third picture.

^that looks like a '96-'97 vr4 bumper w/ the fog holes shaved, not the bumper you originally posted. the lip is not a lip at all, it is part of the bumper.

thats what I'm thinking when I first saw the pic but they look the same without the two vents.
