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

Do you have a picture of that with the bumper off and on??Originally Posted by M3Tuner44
I have the stock bumper, but I have 2 intercoolers instead of 1 right in the middle.
