Don't forget the custom route - I paid less to have the OEM bumper custom modified then I would have spent to buy, prep, and paint an aftermarket one. And mine looks better (if you like the stock, low profile look).

The sedan Nismo has a plate spot which I just cut out and added black mesh for now.

If you plan on running the stock bumper, then call SFR and get their horizontal twin tank setup. It's not that expensive; i think it's the same price as a Greddy IC by itself.

Or, do as other have said and get a bumper with a bigger opening...

Someone mentioned Chargespeed...

Looks even more like a Civic.
