lip kit or new front bumper?

robones · 10-04-2012, 08:37 AM

Remember whatever choice you make you have to consider if the lip or front bumper matches the sides and rear of your car. You dont want an overly agressive front while the rear end and sides are stock. It will not look good.

If you want to keep the stock sides and rear, a subtle lip is your only choice, i.e.: Stillen, Ingens, Evo-R are some examples.

The SUNLINE/AERO JACKET/THOUSAND REPS lips are big and way too agreesive and will not look good if you do not get the side skirts and rear splats. With just the Sunline lip it will make your car look like a snow plow. I guess it may come useful to some now the winter is coming.

So you have to decide how deep you wanna go with the aero modications because depending on what you get upfront, will determine whether you need sides and a new rear or rear add ons.

Below you will find my friends 370z with just the lip so you can see what I am talking about.

I like the stillen front lip.

Thinking about buying it. $270 is the cheapest that I have seen. If I can find a bumper painted in my color for $400-500 i would rather have that. As I have some rock chips.

Thanks. And no matter which one of the lips posted here you get, I'm pretty sure "poser" will not be anywhere near the word coming to mind when people see it
