How do you make that? I am particularly amazed by the bumper for the original Optima series.

I make them on a CNC mill and bend them on a standard metal brake.

Superb, can you do a lazer zxr bumper, slightly different to the Optima style? Also how much?

I might be wrong but I think that one i made also fits the lazer. I will ask some guys who are into Kyosho. I don't know anything about them, just made the bumpers. What I have been doing for guys is having them send me the bumper they would like me to copy or make a custom bumper for and I measure the mounting holes and what not then I make them a new bumper and send them the new and old back at the same time. I usually charge between $20-35 each depending on how much work it involves. Keep in mind I cannot take part in BST on this site at this time. Still waiting for an approval, Thanks.

I really like the lexan for a shelfer, but I would want a black one to run... Also I see "old school rc" on one, is that the Facebook group that somebody mentioned in a different post? I would like to join that. I am also lacking BST access.
