The F2 (GPwerks) and E.D. bumpers were designed to mimic the styling of the RS, while retaining use of the USDM turn signal lights, crash bar, and impact foam.....in an effort to cater to a clientelle that does not want to modify the foam and bar to fit true RS bumpers and source the correct lighting from abroad.
That said.....there's at least 4 or 5 SVT's that have been converted to REAL RS bodywork running around the USA, I'm one of them.

It was easier to make the kits to retain US style crash bars and foam and the fact that aftermarket companies cannot make a bumper cover that eliminates the US crash bars on a US model vehicle unless it is labeled for off-road use only and not on streets.
