What exactly is included in the Voltex Cyber Edition Front Bumper?

Five components: the FRP front bumper, an under cowl, a wet carbon lower diffuser, a dry carbon lower splitter, and a member brace. It is a complete front-end aero package rather than a bumper alone, which is why the price reflects a multi-piece kit rather than a single panel.

Why does the kit use three different materials?

Each material suits the component it's used on. FRP covers the main bumper body cost-effectively over a large surface. Wet carbon adds stiffness to the lower diffuser without the expense of full dry carbon. Dry carbon goes on the lower splitter specifically, since that panel carries the most aerodynamic load and benefits most from the strength-to-weight advantage dry carbon provides.

Are canards included?

No, Voltex urethane canards are sold separately and are not part of this package. The kit is designed to accept them, so many owners building for time attack add canards at the same time as fitting the bumper, but they are ordered independently.

Do the Cyber Splitter Side End Plates fit this bumper?

Yes. The lower splitter included in this kit is the same Cyber splitter the side end plates are designed for, so the two products pair directly. The end plates seal the splitter's outer edges to reduce lateral pressure loss and are sold separately.

Freight, and freight shipping needs to be selected at checkout rather than a standard shipping method. This is a five-piece kit including carbon fiber components, so it ships as a larger freight consignment rather than a single small box.

What is the lead time?

This kit is made to order in Japan, with delivery running 4 to 6 weeks from order. Get in touch before ordering if you are working toward a specific build or event deadline so we can confirm the current estimate.

Description

Voltex Cyber Edition Front Bumper for CT9A Mitsubishi EVO VIII / IX

The Voltex Cyber Edition Front Bumper is a complete front-end aero package rather than a single panel, and it is the piece that sets a Cyber-built Evo apart from every other kit on the chassis. Voltex has worked out of Suzuka since 1995, where founder Nakajima brought composite experience from F3 and Formula Japan bodywork into road and circuit aero, and the Cyber program for the CT9A reflects that engineering-first approach across five separate components working together. High-quality FRP forms the main bumper, wet carbon shapes the lower diffuser, and dry carbon builds the lower splitter, so each part uses the material suited to what it does rather than one material applied everywhere. For an Evo VIII or IX build aiming at genuine Voltex time attack aero, this is the front end it starts from.

Construction

Three materials appear across the kit, each doing a specific job. FRP gives the main bumper body durability and cost-effective coverage over a large panel. Wet carbon on the lower diffuser adds stiffness and a lighter structure than FRP alone. Dry carbon on the lower splitter, cured under vacuum and heat rather than laid wet, produces the lightest and strongest panel in the kit for the component that carries the most aerodynamic load at the front axle.

About Voltex

Voltex is a Japanese aerodynamics specialist based in Suzuka, founded in 1995 by Nakajima, whose background includes composite bodywork for F3 and Formula Japan cars and engineering work in the UK on programs serving F1 and WRC. The company is best known for its carbon GT wings, and its diffusers, splitters, bumpers and full aero packages carry the same priorities: hand-laid composite construction, functional shaping, and fitment tight enough to sit alongside factory panels. Voltex is what builders choose when the aero has to earn its place on the car.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
