Greddy front bumper question/opinion

Alright, I need your opinions about the Greedy front bumper.

Try your best to remove yourself from all your knowledge of everything that is G35 related and tell me this:

Does the Greddy front bumper LOOK aftermarket? I mean does it REALLY look aftermarket or does it flow with the car, in your opinion?

You know how some body kits might not necessarily look bad but you can tell instantly they're aftermarket? Well, I don't like that. I thought I was sold 100% on the Nismo for that very reason, it looks VERY stock but a little more aggressive.

The Greddy is a lot more aggressive but would the average person look at it and just think "Oh, aftermarket bumper"?

Just curious what you think. Sort of considering getting the Greddy front now.

If I knew nothing about G35's and saw one with a Greddy front on the road I would never think was OEM.

Not to mention you simply cannot run the Greddy front without side skirts, which will make it even more obvious it isn't OEM. The Greddy front is WAY too low to be run without aftermarket skirts.

Hero, thank you! You have worded it EXACTLY how I meant the question to come across. Thanks. Glad you understood what I was getting at.

Same question about the Karuma front? It's definitely more subtle than Greddy...

The KZ front itself could pass for OEM. It's much cleaner and less aggressive. It doesn't scream aftermarket. On the other hand, it's also too low to have with stock sideskirts, even with splash guards.

Lekker... why do you care about what other people think? I don't get why you want cars to look OEM or else you don't think they look good... you obviously like Kuruma and Greddy bumpers so why don't you just get what you want instead of what other people want?
