    WTB: Gho m2 1001 front bumper

    Yeah it's a long shot, but I figured I'd ask here first before I have to order from Japan. Anyone got one kicking around they wanna sell? I'll pay good money for it. Thanks.

    I had to wait a LONG time to get mine, not selling. There are 2 others on here with a GHO bumper (they can chime in if they wish), one is already installed, and the other is a parts hoarder like me. Quite sure they won't sell either, too hard to get, too expensive, too much waiting. You will also need to get either a local to buy it or deal with a supplier as GHO won't deal with non-Japanese as they don't want knockoffs of their stuff.

    The GHO 1001 bumper is bottom heavy, and by the time you have the Cibies fitted, it can start to crack under its own weight. Heavy bumper.

    It's fiberglass, not super heavy in the first place. I've reinforced fiberglass bumpers before, never had issues.

    It's not hand laid woven glass though. It's mostly heavy chopped strand mat that is thick in places and can chunk easily. They really do charge too much given the quality of the item. But I'm with you, I want one so bad!!!
