Anyone know if these come painted? I'm not serious enough to waste their time emailing them. But if anyone happens to know if they do that or do you have to paint it yourself?

It comes raw. Flat black finish. I don't think it's a "modified stock bumper". There is no polyurethane in it at all. They told me it was 100% FRP.

Just spoke with them. 100% fiberglass, the bumpers are made from the same original moulds that the original FQ400 kits were made from. Jap Parts' supplier has moved factories and are back up and running in 3 weeks.
Comes unfinished but primed, you need to do some work on it most likely when you get it as well.

I got the hood a few months ago. Not from them but from where they get it. They are fiberglass as are the real ones. Nothing wrong with fiberglass. They come coated but not sure if it's a primer since mine was shipped straight to the body shop to fill in the windshield washer nozzle holes and paint it.
They are also the real design. You will read a lot of stuff online stating the real ones were made by "so and so" and 98% percent of it is incorrect. Or "XYZ" model is the exact same design. Nope. They all differ slightly to more than slightly. Just depends on what you like.
I love the hood. Going to test the heat under the hood soon with one of those laser temp gauges. It has to help though. Sitting at a light I can see tons of heat waves coming out that I didn't see on my stock one.
