I have been holding off on changing the rear bumper since i couldnt find one that wasnt too "overdone" but the time has come now since someone scraped my OEM one.

Please post pics of any bumper you may feel is up to my taste.

Chargespeed is pretty nice, the diffuser section is kind of weird though with the little mesh box. Looks kind of cheap. But is by far the best aftermarket rear bumper for these cars.

Personally I'd just go with a Nismo diffuser.

Our OE bumpers look pretty good and yes, some aftermarket bumpers are "Fugly!" STRAFE is coming out with a new approach to a rear bumper that looks really nice. If Lawrence twists my arm I may have to buy one from him....

"CS" which would be "Chargespeed" - same as the white one above that.

Looks way too similar to stock for me to justify spending that kind of money.

Most are aggressive, the ones that are tame look very similar to OEM. I would think a diffuser is a little more aggressive too depending on which type you get.

Im not going to lie but I got the kenstyle rear, with a top secret front and ings sides. Hopefully it turns out good for my taste.
