Possibly replacing the front bumper

Cmike2780 · 10-18-2011, 12:34 PM

As much as I like the Amuse kit, it's been overdone, especially with the fakes out there. Personally, I would look into replacing the OEM bumper and adding an aftermarket lip. There are certainly a few other alternative out there.

Check out this site for a few ideas.370ZTUNE.com

The Nismo front bumper won't look right by itself.

Well eventually I would be converting the rest of the body to match the Nismo, pieces at a time. I will check out that site though. My 40th is going into storage from mid December until mid March, so I will wait until March to replace the bumper. Plenty of time to decide and get it done the right way.

Agreed... Amuse = overdone/copied.

Go oem/lip IMO.

Since my front bumper is being removed, mind as well install Stillen Gen 3 intake. Is there a Gen 4 in the works?

Not likely :P

The bumper is really easy to put on/take off, but might as well do it all at once. Just make sure you avoid known issues with the gen 3's during installation.

I will let the body shop install it along with the bumper, so any issues will be on them lol. I'm glad which intake to get is an easy decision...unlike the many different bumpers to go with.

Don't forget to get some non s-tune nismo wheels. Goes well with the nismo kit.
