Do a search, I recently asked this question and there were side by side comparison photos. It was really informative

Oh goodness here we go again. I guarentee you that Jotan will be all over this one. Get the Urethane one from Aftermarketsuperstore. Ron is one of our sponsors. He has the best price on it. I think it is like $360 shipped to your door. MB and AFSS has the same distrubitor so the fit will be the same. Mine was near perfect fit.

Sorry Ben but Min dont have the imported version. I already asked before I got the Urethane one. MrGan, blitz is a lot less expensive than Kaminari.

jap in urathane? i thought the jap ones are ONLY in fiberglass.

well the.. uhh... handles or whatever on the front bumper flare out more on the jap version whereas the US on are pointed inward.

uh..sorry, got confused on the wording there..this is what i assumed:

Celica 00+ Blitz Style Front Bumper : (jap version)

Celica 00+ Blitz Style Front Bumper U.S Version : (us version)
http://mbautosports.com/productVariationImages/3054.jpg

Celica 00+ Front Bumper - Urethane : <~ see..its doesn't say US VERSION..so i assumed it was jap like the first one.

The Jap one has a wider center opening and the top of the opening lines up even with the top of the center piece.

The U.S. version is smaller in the center and the middle is about 1-2 inches lower than the two ducts on the side.

I like the U.S. version alot more than the Jap. Does MB Autosport ask you which one you want when you order? I've never seen a special selecter next to the kits on the site.

I had the US version front bumper (fiberglass) on my car until my boyfriend cracked it. so now i'm getting the urethane front blitz bumper. so when i asked what the difference was, they said that the US version is a little bit narrower in the middle and not as wide vs. the Japanese version. So i asked them what the urethane front bumper is and they (being mbautosport) said that it is a combination of the US and Japanese version and actually sits lower than the US version! My car is in the shop getting it installed as we speak, so i will try and take some pics of it once its out. Hope this helps................
