Need Help: What aftermarket body pieces...

Trying to make a decision here... My options are as follows:

  • Option #1: OEM Lip + Impul Sides (Or other sides - suggestions?)

    ~OR~

  • Option #2: Nismo Front + OEM Splash Guards


***Not mixing and matching between options. LMK folks.

Car is a 6MT Desert Platinum coupe.

But I really think you should get Nismo front and Impul sides. Seriously!

oh trust me... I think I should too, but the paint work and install on the nismo + the impuls are just not within the budget right now. Yes, I could wait, but unfortunately patience is not a virtue of mine...

I'd go with option 2, option 1 looks awkward.

Honestly I'd prefer 06 sport bumper and sides over both of those options!

#2!

But I agree with Henry, nismo front and impul sides would be best. To me, body kits are kinda a big deal since it changes the looks of the car. So why not get something you know you'll be happy with?

I vote number 1, but I'm biased. Sure, the Impul sides are lower than the OEM lip, but at least I don't have to worry about scraping my front as much.

Thanks. I used to run option 2, Nismo + stock sides with splash guards. It was a nice look, but I prefer my current setup. Would love to get a poly Inven, though (doesn't exist).

Here's more than "HELP!"

Hundered of our member have the OE front bumpers and lip (some without the license plate holes plugged) and many more have the NISMO front bumper. What's NEW on the block is the STRAFE automotive bumpers/sides/rear bumpers/trunk lids. You don't need to do it all at once, get the bumper and a few months later get the sides. STRAFE makes them in polyurethane too and you could have them paint it also if needed....
