Brightning NC

[Vegard]

Hey NC guys, I really like this NC by Brightning but havn't found any more photos or info on it, so whatever you have would be great. Would this front bumper fit all models nc?

NC guys, do your thing! I want to see more!

I've found two photos, with different wheels.

I found out the first photo was from "slammed society japan 2012" so I'm finding some more!

NC guys, am I right in saying the headlights are nc2? Since they have the integrated front indicators.

Here's a page on it:

It's got a few photos and an on-board lap of Tsukuba.

Here's a photo from minkara (http://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/18685/car/126772/2066423/photo.aspx):

Caption just says 'Here's the new Brightning bumper. It's kinda Nismo Z-ish, pretty cool.'

I think those are NC1 headlights judging by others I've seen, but I really don't know that much about the NC. The demo car actually is an NC1. Well, I'm almost certain. I can't find the model year listed in words anywhere, but there are pictures of the car dating back to 2006, and it wore an NC1 front bumper until sometime around 2010.

Here's another blog post on it:

Seems it was Cosworth supercharged at some point, and now it uses a naturally aspirated 2.3L engine. It had an NC1 bumper on for a while, then was replaced by the 2 piece (1 bumper/1 lip) original Brightning front end. It competed in the '205 Cup' series, similar to the 185 Cup popular for NA Miatas, the number denoting the regulated tire width.

Here's some Japanese posts about the car (or ones that include the car):

I'll try and translate them, if you want. I need to practice anyways.

Brightning has the demo car listed on their website, but it hasn't been updated since 2009, so it still has the NC1 bumper in the pics.
