Front bumper options?

ZYGOTE · 05-04-2010, 10:09 AM

Hey guys, when driving home the other day I accidentally ran over some tire treads left in the road (they were unavoidable) and it put a nice crack in my bumper. I've been thinking about what to do and I can't decide - should I order a new stock bumper and put it on or should I go aftermarket?

What do you guys think? Also fwiw, my only mod right now is the s-tune sides so if I got a different bumper, it would have to go with those.

Thanks!

i would do the stock bumper and the non-painted fang area like modshack's car to keep it black.

That's what I'm leaning towards as well, but the Stillen bumper and a few others do intrigue me. My one worry would be doing this myself. Is it hard to remove the bumper?

no, it's pretty easy. there's a DIY somewhere. also modshack did a induction vent/duct for the intake so check that out as well while it's still off the car.

if i run into braking issues (i dont expect it since im just streeting) im going make a cutout and duct to my front brakes.

The Stillen might be worth looking into. I'm just not sure about the multi-piece design.
