I would say Nismo front bumper for a little more air flow and cleaner look and the hood is up to you. If you don't have splash guards, you can get Impul skirts to compliment the front bumper. The Charge Speed hood is a perfect fit (10/10) but it's very expensive

Nismo with Impul Sides FTW. I'll go look for a thread for OB coupes.

I would do the nismo front end for a good start with the JWT IC's.

Thanks,

Either a front lip or the Nismo front.

Showoff! I would say get he lip and beef up something else or save longer for the Nismo and get the best of everything(That's what I would do).

I like the look of the Nismo front bumper, but it looks like it sits way lower than the factory sides. Even with the mud guards...doesn't seem to sit to nicely for my taste. I'm not too keen on an entire body kit...my ride would be way too low. After I install my coilovers and drop...I'm already gonna be low, low, low, low...!

JWT + Nismo = only way to go. It defeats the purpose of the twin intercooler to get any other bumper with this kit!!

Even though the factory bumper has the same two front air ducts (although a bit smaller it appears)....?

You could always get the Karuma Z front bumper....looks pretty nice also and provides plenty or airflow to the IC.

I am keeping mine as stock looking as possible but I need to spruce it up a little so I am on the prowl for parts too.

Than you will need sides with the Karuma. I think Impul looks great with it though.
