I think the GTX bumper looks best all by itself.

ok
ight well this isnt a GTX its prolly a dx or maybee even an LX...in anycase this is a picture of a rear JDM bumper for the protege. Personally if i was doing an entire JDM conversion i would get my rear too look just like this with the GTX front bumper...but i got the EVOIII so imma stick with the combat kits rear bumper. Oh and the EVOIII side skirts have "EVOLUTION" etched into them thats why i wouldnt get them..pretty cheesy lookin IMO.

I e-mailed them about 2 weeks ago and this is what i got the other day.............
"Hello
That kit is still being finished. There was a problem with the front bumper and the design of the wheel arch which had to be corrected. We have spent a considerable amount of money to get this kit finished a perfect. The moulds for the parts are going to be finished up in a few more weeks. Once done we are expecting 1 month after that for the kits to be built and another month for shipping. Once the kits are started in production we will be posting the kit on the webpage.
Derrick "..........................
So that is what's supposedly going on now. I really wish that they would hurry up with this thing. What about bodykit.co.nz, did they ever really sell the combat kit, or do they just have pics of it??

yeah i emailed them last year cause i wanted some info on just the rear bumper and that spoiler and they sent some email saying they were taking deposits and wanted like 500 down for the kit. i was like **** that all i wanted was the damn spoiler and bumper. hopefully theyve changed there mind about selling the kit in pieces instead of as a whole.

the GTX bumper is OEM urethane, flexible and curb friendly. Sits about 2-2.5" lower than stock. Requires brackets, but much more installer friendly.
