I agree its a good idea to separate the bumper

If you separate it before the build you can remove it later . Damage to the front bumper is almost inevitable .  Also a hard bumper crack might extend into the fenders,  if you don't separate it

If the concern is (In case I have to change my bumper due to an accident or two years of scraping it) then you can simply cut off your bumper from the G28 body and connect it with a few tabs.

You will have to cut it off either way if you decide to add in OEM bumper o.O so might as well make it work that way.

I personally vote for cutting the kit into a few parts; front clamshell, rear clamshell, and rockers. That way you get to install them separately (:

You can always buy oem style bumpers and things separately if they are the only issues you have with the body
pretty inexpensive imo

Not sure where that came from but I wouldn't hurt John's business He's the most reputable guy in the industry.
How would you affect whether I get my parts? It's up to him. You aren't involved, littler buddy.

Anyway.. Also you could try bartman, he has replicated JW bodies for people before as well as cliff but I'm not sure anyone has heard from him in awhile.

Tallon,

& you will forever be waiting on your bumpers as long as you come on the forums scaring off potential buyers. I can assure you of that little buddy.

Mogoes,

Absolutely, Extreme in UK completed a white one years ago. The video is on youtube next to a yellow one with techno music in the background. Just type in lamborghini replica.

Will the jw kit work good with a Mr2 ?

the AD or "JW" body would look good on anything. Only problem with it is you will have to make every bracket for all of the individual parts (ask LamboJayso) unlike if you go with a full body that isn not separated into every little piece.

Honestly everyone is all up in the air right now. Rob is scamming, however he did deliver a body on schedule to a member last week, KCI has always delivered, but with a custom chassis I would go with a AD Watson body however he is back logged right now, if you aren't in any hurry might be worth trying to make contact with somebody that sells his body and put a deposit down.
