Front Bumper!!!!

i need some suggestions on which front bumper i should get!!!!

Everyone says the NISMO front which i like but i would like to see some others

I have tryed to go for the sporty look but at the same time classy. I am running axis shines 19" and just ordered my fast intentions exhaust last week so that should be coming in soon

i have the black coupe and i got the clear corners and painted my grille black blah blah blah... but now its time for a new front bumper because mine needs a paint job bad and i just think i should get a new one all together

PICS ARE APPRECIATED!!!!

Thanks,

Michael

Aside from the '06+ sport bumper and the Nismo, I don't think there are any other "classy-looking" front bumpers for the G coupe.

The only notable exception may be the Kuruma Z front bumper:

i really like the nismo front but it looks so much like the stock bumper!!!

also the last thing i need for my car is a drop.... any suggestions???

cause i probably have a good 2inches between my wheel well and my tire right now and that needs to change but i dont want the ride quality to change or any rubbing

+1 on the kuruma z front. the biggest downside is clearance - its very low and sticks out a bit so you have to angle in & go slow at almost every obstruction / ramp / speed bump / mole hill

Yep, and with the Kuruma Z aftermarket sideskirts are practically a must. With the sport bumper and the Nismo, the stock sides look just fine.

I'd recommend the Tein 350Z H-techs if daily-driving practicality is a concern

Not to mention, you can get away with not getting a camber kit. A kit would help, but your alignment can get close enough to back in spec that it's not really worth the money. Anything lower than the Z H-techs and you'll almost definitely need a camber kit.
