Aero Jacket SS looks pretty aggressive. I like the Carbon Signal TS CF. That is the one I went with. Looks pretty nasty and sleek.

Amuse seems to be the most popular front bumper replacement, but it's expensive. I personally love the Z's front bumper with the fangs so I think a lip is a better choice, plus you have alot to choose from. I went with a Mines replica and molded to the bumper. Here's a pic.

If your car is DD, go with a lip. The stock front bumper is much more durable compare to after market fiber glass. Exclude the stillen front bumper

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
