I have a g35 with a turbonetics kit. i replaced the turbo with a gt35r and have a built motor. its making 508whp 520tq. i have a greddy fornt bumper now and wanted to go back to a stock look. i also still have the fan that came with the kit.

 

Go for it... Make the G look like a sleeper...lol

 

i'd stick with the greddy. better air flow to radiator (I/C & fans block a bunch of it anyway) and oil cooler that i hope you installed

 

What he said

 

Post 3 is correct!!

 

thanx for all the help

 

Stay with the stock like I did, just modify it slightly!

 

it looks wierd^ . not really diggin it. but i give you points for being different. everyone elses cars have the same bumpers.

 

The problem with most aftermarket bumpers is it looks like whoever designed them had never seen a G35. They don't match the factory lines and don't complement the car.

The only difference between my bumper and the factory bumper is I happen to have a huge hole in the front of mine that is trimmed perfectly to fit my FMIC. The angles of the trim match the angles of the stock opening areas that were narrowed down to accommodate the FMIC.

As far as looks go, that is a terrible picture. There is way too much reflection from the flash on the intercooler and the trim around it. In person it doesn't stand out near as much as it does in the picture - it looks stock.

 

I know a guy that switched from the SFR twin intercooler setup made specifically for our stock fronts to a single FMIC with aftermarket bumper. Made a reasonable difference. I don't remember how much but he was glad he did.....and that was a LOT of cheddar for the new parts!

His name was "niceguy001" not sure if here or my350Z

 

VERY nice job!

 

I have the stock bumper, but I have 2 intercoolers instead of 1 right in the middle.

 

^ me 2

 

I like the double intercoolers..

 

Do you have a picture of that with the bumper off and on??
