Q: lip kit or new front bumper? any suggestions?
A: oem OEM OEM!!! Slam on stance that’s aggressive!

Personally the Z with no front plate already looks aggressive. Anything else is rice.

What's with the wide mouths, additional side vents, etc with all these aftermarket bumpers? :confused: Do you like showing off your washer fluid container? or the A/C condenser? :stirthepot:

LOL :icon18:

I like to be able to see how much washer fluid I have left and as far as the drag goes that should not bother you to much since you would only be seeing my rear bumper anyway:stirthepot: FI FTW!!!

LOL I can drift behind you at least! and just wait until your car over heats due to FI and then I can pass you going 30 mph while I wave my hands :)

Dont hold your breath those big holes in my front bumper helps that 34row oil cooler breath a little easier and once I finish designing my vented hood I will be running cooler than you all day long. :tup:

but back on topic, a lip or bumper all comes down to how much you are willing to spend and what you are going for. a front bumper may not be the best for everyday driving especially if the roads are bad around you. But at the same time I had a front lip and it busted due to roads so no matter what you do you run the risk of breaking something.

Thats all good bro! happy for you. :)

You actually have a purpose for all those vents found in after market bumpers. My comment was meant for the 90% of the people who will keep their car stock.

That was my deciding factor when I made the decision to go with the lip:tup:

depends on if u want the front of your car to sit lwoer. a lot of people (me) when they lowere their cars have issues scraping errthang! in that case i would say, stillen or ing's front bumper. doesnt sit much lower than factory, but still gives your car a more agressive look

i really like cars looking factory, but different if that makes sense. i like picking mods to where people say "that looks good, is that factory?" which i have gotten with this stillen lip many times.

Looks amazing! I just bought my SR last week and I'm plastidipping my fangs matte black this weekend. I love the lip kit, though; really gives it that aggressive look. I want mine to look as close to a GTR without looking too poser lol
