Coming soon from Rêve D is their new dry carbon front bumper for drift car kits such as the Yokomo YD-2 and others.

Included in the set comes a reversible 2-sided aluminium bumper mount that features a Rêve D logo on one side and a machined structure on the other, allowing to adapt the look to your liking.
