Well, this is kind of a hipster thread. I think JDM bumpers look much better than USDM, but what are the best USDM bumpers you've seen?

They are all installed at playgrounds around the US as park benches.

IMO, regardless of JDM or USDM, any AE86 can look good as long as it's clean.

This is the truth! Some very nice examples posted up.
The multiple pieces of the US bumper is kind of silly though.

Thanks bro, appreciate that! It's been so long that the OG's of the board been on here together but I think I remember your car as well, one of the many you had, the dark blue coupe? You're an Old School Toyotero like me, I remember that for sure! Nice to see you posting up on here. I stayed in contact and I'm actually friends with the guy I sold that car too, one of my BIGGEST regrets ever!! I miss that car out of any of the MANY I have had. He sold it to another guy because of deployment and sadly, it didn't stay in the condition I had it in .......... Hope all is well with you and the family.
Take Care

@goofesgts ... Funny thing, I just bought an SR5 coupe from Cali and had it shipped to Chicago. The guy who bought the red car helped me find the SR5. Glad we stayed friends !!
