New Aggressive Sedan Sport Bumper

for those that haven’t seen it - rookie has made a killer KurumaZ style bumper for 03-04 and 05-06 sedans... fit & finish are perfect, durability is excellent - and it looks HAWT!

GB is on in this thread:

Honestly, I think it looks bad. It ruins the lines of the car.

I definitely not trying to offend anyone. It may look great in person. To me it looks out of place on the car and doesn't flow with the design. In my opinion it looks too aggressive and somewhat ricey.

I'm not offended in the least - there are many things about my car that is far different from any sedan you've ever seen, and everyone won’t necessarily like it... like I said, to each his own. If we all had cars that looked the same it would be pretty boring.

Until now there weren’t many choices for the sedan... choices are good... many people (including me) like/love the bumper - but that doesn’t mean everyone has to.

I hated the looks of the GT-R until I saw it in person at the Washington, DC autoshow.

I still need to go see a GTR to be turned.

The sedans need a little oomph. Someone needs to go ape **** and build something sicko. Pnut ttrank and others have paved the way, set a side 40-50k and put your G down for 6mo. haha, doubt anyone loves their G that much.

I like the kit but what kills it for me is the un even-ness of how the bottom of the bumpers center seems to sit higher the corners of the bumper which causes it make the front hole for some reason seems to sit to high(the hole=mouth of the bumper). maybe if the bottom was completely straight and the whole top and bottom broguth down a lil???not sure whats going on

Does anyone else see this? im looin at the 03-04 version.

Put i give rookie credit for making one more choice on the market to pick from.(sorry if anyone took this offensive didnt mean to)

I commend Viet (rookie) for tackling this project! He heard it form all ends... I was trying to get the center opening a little different originally as well... the thing is, he was met with the challenge of creating a bumper that would be suitable to a variety of tastes... something that is versatile enough to appeal to many different enthusiasts.

What was brilliant about his approach is he listened to the feedback he received and incorporated it with his experience in designing cool body mods (clearly he is a wiz at this stuff - one look at his FX and it's very apparent).

Viet - thanks again bro for doing this... I know you weren’t originally considering 03-04 but I am glad you did (and I know others that are too)... With all you have going on I think anyone that gets this bumper is damn lucky you cared enough to take the time!
